About Me

Ok, here we go....an artistic, somewhat eccentric gal with a passion for nostalgia and dark forms of beauty. I love Old Hollywood and love collecting bits and pieces of it's Golden Age, as well as reading about it's history, it's tragedies, murders, suicides, hauntings, scandal and losing myself in old films...I also live for creativity, whether it's in fashion, art, writing, music, dance, making things, photography, etc. Love spending quality time with my wonderful boyfriend (or close friends), whether it's going out and causing mischief in the dead of night or staying in with good music, swirling incense and potent cocktails! I enjoy meeting other souls who often feel somewhat "misplaced" or just not quite right in this world... Creative/artistic types. Interesting, original, fun, spooky people...
