It is what it is.

About Me

Outgoing, funny, loyal, love to laugh and have a good time. I get along with all kinds of people. I am a single mom with two beautiful girls ages 9 and 10. I am an image consultant for a high-end photography studio in Paducah, Kentucky. I live in a small town but prefer urban areas where there's lots to do and see - Museums, fine restaurants, clubs, and culture. I adore traveling! I have hit the beaches in LA and Mexico, partied in NY, gambled in Atlantic City and Vegas, and tried out the slopes in Telluride, CO. I've traveled all over in the good 'ol south. I would love to travel more than I do, specifically the Mediterranean.

My Interests

My kids, fashion, photography, reading, harleys and custom bikes, the Italian Language (io capisco ompo L'Italiano) and culture, cooking, modernism and minimalism in design, abstract and modern art, wine, travel, tattoos, fresh flowers, high heels.

I'd like to meet:

I'm not interested in seeing how many myspace friends I can collect, or being part of anyone else's quest for a zillion. Most of the people in my friend space I already know, but I would like to meet some fun, honest, down to earth people in different parts of the country, and reconnect with old friends.Celebrity-wise, Billy Lane, Sarah Jessica Parker, Vince Vaughn, Robert DeNiro, Duane Chapman, Kevin Aucoin, Pamela Anderson, Bob Seger, John Register, Trent (pinkisthenewblog.com), Anderson Cooper, Stevie Ray Vaughn, the Azzurri.
