All of my friends here know I LOVE PARIS (France, that is). And, I love, love, love music too! As yo

About Me


I love meeting new people and trying all things that life has to offer. I think that I must have been an explorer in a past life -- wandering around with a compass and a purpose. This time around, it's been a little less purposeful -- and no compass -- but it's an adventure, right?. I think that I have a great sense of humor, especially about myself, and love to laugh. I am open-minded, compassionate and a great listener.I like to cook -- to try out gourmet recipes at home -- eat out, go to movies, museums, art galleries, jazz clubs and shop.

My Interests

MUSIC, MUSIC, MUSIC! Travel, literature, art, theatre, shopping, wine tastings (yum!), good coffee and conversation, Ethiopian food; oh, and did I mention MUSIC!
I made this music playlist at MyFlashFetish .com.

I'd like to meet:

I'd love to meet new friends all over the world who share my interest in good music. I want to turn my little space into my personal listening room. Including great artists that I'm not hearing anywhere because they're not considered "commercially viable."

Music:


Bill evans trio, Waltz for debby
Uploaded by Sjef_van_Boekel Jazz -- the real stuff -- straight ahead.I love R&B...thoughtful and provocative...And SOME hip-hip, especially from artists that havethe courage to push the envelope, but spoken word is the true jewel.

Movies:

Quantity versus quality issue. Don't see many.

Television:

Anything on The History Channel, The Learning Channel, most Britcoms, The Daily Show, Boondocks, fashion programs -- especially What Not To Wear, and reruns of Fraiser and Will & Grace. Will be boycotting Grey's Anatomy until Isiah Washington is rehired! (Damn!)

Books:

We are All Suspects Now, The Da Vinci Code, The Nanny Diaries, The Devil Wears Prada, Sense and Sensibility, The Triumph of Individual Style...

Heroes:

I view a number of people as "heroes" for different reasons, but the most important in my everyday life are my family...for many different reasons.

MySpace Artists

You know what I totally dig about MySpace Artists? They support each other! Whether they're signed or not, part of a major label or indie. And not only do they give their fans an opportunity to sho...
