Interests
...hmm... well, i love music, theater, movies, poetry, good coffee, anywhere you can relax or chill with friends in candlelight, any excuse to wear earrings, and generally anything that means having fun with my friends.

i was editor of my university's newspaper, worked in media relations, did internal communications for a corporation - now i work with words and graphic design as well as a little public relations spin here and there. i guess ultimately you could say i love writing, creating and being in front of people.

reading worthwhile books is another love/passion of mine... and i've recently started wearing flat-heeled shoes all the time. i believe in hair color as an accessory and in laughing as much as possible.

Movies

yes, please...

Music

i will never limit myself to only one genre.. i change the music on this page often, usually to things i love, be they new or old.

Other nice things

// Coastally Illuminated - some personal reflections.

// Life is a Red Carpet - the original mpls muse

// Uptown - everyday beauty in the city

// Some Girls Wander - simple beauty
