About Me

some people call me chris , some people call me topher. i am christopher gilson and you will never fully know what i'm really all about. i have a hard enough time keeping track of it myself. however, broadly i stand for : art, culture, self-improvement, self exploration, enlightenment, knowledge, mind expansion, music, independent art or independent anything, finding beauty, the power of laughter, love, equal rights, peace, tolerance if not understanding, sex, drugs, and some fuckin rock and roll.
i've lived a few places, but austin texas is what i call home. the spirit of the city really resonates with me. i'm a cosmetologist and a dj by trade. trims and transformations available upon request.
