About Me


Peppermint Erin
City Sisters - Me & Meg This is me and my lovely sister, Megan and my super beautiful mom in Maui this summer. I'm the dillybar in the middle.

As for me, WELL I am a Riversidian, newly transplanted in San Francisco. I enjoy long walks on the beach, Boz Scagss, and terrible kareoke. I changed my mind, if I was a baseball player, my batter-up song would be America's "Muskrat Love" just to annoy Captain and Tenniel. I am a red-headed minx - STRIKE THAT, I am a swiftly fading black haired shit-disturber (the picture on the box lied). I ever enjoy giving dollar bills to drag queens, mimosas & jacuzziness and mad-mosaic-making days. I believe that every song could use a little more slide-guitar. Um, I can always groove to "Love and Happiness" by Al Green, but a close runner up is "Young Americans" by David Bowie and "Black Cow" by Steely Dan. I have a freckle on my lip. This is my dog, Sophie. Ya see , the thing about Sophie is that she has learned Spanish, taken a night shift at the Sire and is driving all the bitches in the neighborhood batty! I lied, Sophie is NOT actually my dog. She kicks it in Riverside with mis padres. She will be terribly sad to see her second mommy (Megan) leave for San Francisco. She is currently planning to sail her pirate ship to see us every other month. Sail on little Sophie. If I had a million dollars I would buy you a green dress, but not a real green dress...that's cruel. My peeps back home - 714...909...951! Riverside Love :) Happy Times at the Menage
Me, Megs and the Margaritas - Good Laughs at Celia's SF
Taking a Dance Break at the Cat Club - Meg's Birthday 2007
Such a perfect evening at Dolores Park for Movie Night. Woop Woop Karate Kid!

My Interests

Anything and Everything Dia de los Muertos, mosaic making, theatre, tile, friends, family, rat terriers, living it up, loving it down, laughing it out, thrifting in my hood, thinking about life, dancing, Steely Dan, writing/receiving postcards...L'chaim! Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top!

You've gotta have HEART! Miles and miles and miles of heart!

I'd like to meet:

MIKE GRAVEL!!!

Keeping an eye on the world going by my window

Listening to the Beatles Revolver album on my way to work the last couple days, I guess I get into these music niches and stay in the same warm spot for a good week or so. I have "I'm Only Sleeping"...
