About Me

Not much really. I was taken out of my mother with forceps. I fell down a tall set of stairs when i was 6 months old. I was bruised all over. I lived on a farm at the time where we had 16 rabbits. At the age of 9 I painted something for the first time as a way to transcend my pain- it was my birthday.I became a vegetarian at age 10. Its been 15 years since. I did terribly in school except art,drama, music and writing. I experienced between the ages of 9-12 migraine headaches almost everyday. My father blammed himself, since he left the door open for me to fall down those stairs.My mom blammed mould in the school. I saw doctors and got tests but the causes were all left unknown. Eventually the headaches stopped. I went to a normal highschool and then left two years later to go to an alternative one. Here, i discovered a small secret world of people i had things in common with. I met a sweet guy during that time who i dated for seven beautiful years. We went to B.C together and lived in treehouses. I went to University and studied Environmental Studies for two years, I did terribly. Dropped out. I decided to pursue sewing and fashion design. I was invited to show my garments in a fashion show called "Clothes Your Mouth". I learnt a lot about hard work in this time. I prepared a collection in less then two months and i'm self taught. I went to Mexico alone for a month after Christmas in 2006 and it changed me a great deal.I love Latin culture. I am currently studying Capoeira (Afro-Brasilian Martial art), and Spanish. I am thinking of going to a fashion college in Montreal and learn more about design as well as French.Some things you may not know about me are: I can eat a lot of food, Im honest, I laugh a lot and esp. when im nervous, I play wrestle often, i'm addicted to having baths, it takes me forever to get dressed (i need a uniform?!), i don't care about most things people care about such as how to have my coffee, or not letting people see me pick my nose, or how you know how to make a cocktail and i don't (cause its probaly gross).i also have good reflexes and almost endless energy.I hope to grow from these tiny seeds into a giant forest. (thanks A.M.H).
