Miss Shanda

My lips are like morphine, I'll knock you out every time you touch me.

About Me

I grew up in a town population 12,000 as a shy girl that just wanted to blend in. After high school I moved to St. Louis to go to school and it ended up being the best decision I've made thus far. During school I found incredible friends and a place where I actually fit in and could be myself. I've been in the electronic music scene since 2000 and I don't see it ever getting old. I have more friends than I could ever ask for and would never want to give them up.I work full time as a travel agent and I love to travel. I've been all over the US and even to Canada and the UK. My favorite place so far is Miami, I've been now 3 times and its always great. Besides electronic music I enjoy going to rock concerts and even hippie festivals. Bonnaroo was an experience beyond words although after 2 times, I'm not sure I'll be back. Roughing it gets harder and harder everytime.On the weekends you can find me at the local watering hole, busting a move on the dancefloor. I also like to spend time outdoors too. I love to eat, mexican being my favorite but sushi a close second. I will try anything once.

My Interests

Raves-all night dance parties
Clubs-with edm music and lots of lights
Dancing-everyday all the time
Drinking-alcohol, coffee, smoothies, and good ol h2o
Shopping-mostly thrift, I love digging
Cooking-healthy and eating right
Outdoors-camping, hiking or anything outside
Traveling-I've been so many cool places but so much more to see
