About Me


one of my secret dreams in life is to be a testimonial
caller on QVC, preferably about Joan Rivers jewelry.

i am in love with taco bell, balenciaga, W magazine,
oil paint, ina garten, skinny jeans, gingham, and anything
having to do with fagging out.

talk to me about books, hair, fashion, and the past.
I'm eternally addicted to being single.
