My old man Mark (circa 1978).
I love to write ( but singing,music and dancing are my real passions). I wrote an article (see my blog) about my experiences in Dogtown back in the day in Concrete Wave magazine. (I have more unpublished artciles about the old days and my experiences on the Lords set...in the blog archives) I dance when I can, (I've had to hang up skateboarding recently) as I suffer from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I love flowers and gardening, good novels, film noir, decorating and I cook with a passion, love to entertain and eat! I will always be a surfer/hippie girl, and love to wear comfy clothes and go barefoot. Spend most of my time selling items in our Ebay store, with my kids Sarah & Wade and my husband Mark, our cat Purr Now. I enjoy art shows,tiki,60s & 70s & 80's eras good concerts and skateboarding/surf events. I love the beach, who doesn't? I collect Beatles memorabilia, Pacific Ocean Park memorabilia and vintage halloween items. I'm a very nostalgic person.
1973 Venice High
The remaining Beatles,Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr,Mark Slaughter,Johnny Depp,Kip Winger,CC Deville & more! Honest, passionate people like myself. I won't stand for hypocrites, liars, phonies,stalkers/sadists, vindictive persons, jealousy. I'm loyal, HONEST and strong in my beliefs. I refuse to play junior high school games with people who are supposed to be grownup. I do believe in KARMA. If I'm wrong I will admit I'm wrong. But if I'm right, I will stand firm and unwaveringly defend myself!
My passion is The Beatles & classic music (I was listening to all this music when it wasn't called that, I was fortunate enough to be a teen when the best music was made!) from many eras. Yes,Heart, Joni Mitchell,Sabbath,Led Zep, Hendrix,Crosby,Stills,Nash & Young,Traffic,Alice Cooper,Bowie,Allman Brothers,Pink Floyd and so many more, I can go on and on. I've always loved cool lounge/jazz, surf music, heavy on the surf guitar brings back great memories. Love 80s New Wave & hair bands! The Police,The Cars,INXS,The Smiths,Devo,Missing Persons,Blondie,Tears For Fears,New Order,The Cure,Oingo Boingo,Psychedelic Furs....more! Warrant,Slaughter, Winger,Skid Row,Nelson, more. I listen to and sing all different types of music. I've always loved Selena. I like Justin Timbertlake,Gwen Stefani, Incubus and Beyonce,Lacuna Coil,Stone Sour,Andrea Bocelli,311,etc. are very talented.
Dogtown & Z Boys, of course. (Worked on Lords Of Dogtown, see blogs). A huge fan of Peralta's works, including Animal Chin & Riding Giants. I really enjoyed Duane Peters "Who Cares". Love anything with Johnny Depp. I will always love the old (& some new) surf flicks like Five Summer Stories,Morning Of The Earth,Super Session & so many more! Big Wed. is great...that is more like the real Dogtown story than LODT. (I love the art of Rick Griffin). I love Pretty In Pink,(one of my fav's) Breakfast Club,Foreign and Indy films and so many more to name. I love Turner Movie Classics...there is nothing like the old movies, they have class.
I love some reality t.v.;(I love to watch "The Hills" with my kids) Run's House, Family Jewels,(The Food Channel)Travel & Discovery Times channels. Kathy Griffin The D List. Fuel T.V. Turner Movie Classics. I miss the old MTV so much, when they played videos! The old Head Bangers Ball and all the great videos they used to show....why do they bother to even call it "Music TV" anymore? Pretty bad when you have to go on YouTube to find videos they will never play again!
The Good Book, the Bible, Pattie Boyds "Wonderful Tonight", "John" by Cynthia Lennon, Wes Humpston Bulldogs Art,The Beatles Anthology,Gidget, Rick Griffin, and so many more...
The Man upstairs Jehovah God and his son Jesus. Anyone who gets past their transgressions and does good. People who face the real deal and stick to the narrow path are to be commended!
