About Me

Hi. My name is Risa. I like cereal.
Soup is good food.
Good people are all around me, the very best of the brightest star in the entire universe - those are my friends. Really.
Most often I am inspired by beauty and perversion interlaced with death, rebirth, longing and perseverance.
Lots of speeding tickets are in my glove compartment. Don't ever, ever, ever lend me your wheels; I am known for my embarrassingly bad luck in that regard.
Maybe you want to drive me around on your moped. The direness of vehicular misfortune seems only to accompany me when I am the driver not the passenger.
If we are girlfriends I most likely want to lie about on your bed flipping through celebrity gossip/design/fashion magazines and talking about travel, chocolate, color and music. I probably have a key to your apartment.
Additionally, I am prone to bouts of melodrama of the Rhett and Scarlett variety.
Good storytellers and people with a sense of dramatic flair are priceless. Also acrobats are high on my list of most-admired persons on earth.
A party is not a party until the finger puppets arrive.
It is, as yet, unclear to me why people eat raisins.
Whatever. The important thing here is that you send me lots and lots of money.

My Interests

General Mess. .. width="425" height="350" ..

I'd like to meet:

Good peeps, storytellers, dance floor divas, men with mopeds, soul-sisters, earth misters, rollerskaters, thinkers and finessers of the subtlety.
I am v. appreciative of people with a sense of style that isn't too fussy.
Sea-dwelling monsters descending deep into an abyss need not apply.
