Life's too short for beige...

About Me

Analogue girl in a digital world...

Likes: Well-made furniture I can only wish to afford, city neighborhoods, prefab modern, vintage modern, avant garde fashion, wood, glass, metal accents, conscience, ecological and green building/product design, color, space relations, design solutions, music that touches my soul and makes my feet (along w/ the rest of me) get down on the dancefloor...
Dislikes: SUV's, subdivisions, McMansions, vinyl, plastic, my irrational fear of driving on the freeway at night when it's snowing, ignorance...
You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, Know when to walk away, and know when to run. You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table. There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done.

My Interests

Gettin up and gettin down! shakin' my groove thing, spinning rekkidz, getting rid of 90 degree angles wherever possible, global/social responsibilty, modern furniture design, pilates, yoga, graffiti art, lo-brow street art, travel, NYC, Norway, Finland, unique architecture, Irish car bombs, talking about music for hours and hours and hours, style, delicious food, stimulating conversation, cats, independence, holding it down, intelligent people, creative people, sparkly eyeshadow, art books & magazines.A brief glimpse of what I do at my job:

I'd like to meet:

Artists. Deejays. Intellectuals. Thinkers. Dreamers. Counter-culturalists. Idealists. Revolutionaries. Maybe some animals, as they are usually nicer than people.
People with money, who need help with style (and want to pay me to help them, hehe).
If I had my way people who abuse animals or fight dogs would all be sent to an animal-free island to fend for themselves and leave animals the hell alone.

Music:

When I was 20 years old, I briefly dated this jackass who told me that in 10 years I wouldn't be listening to electronic music because it was just a phase that I would grow out of. (he really was an ass)
If I ever see him again, I am going to kick him in the shins and say "HA! Piss off you ignorant fool."

Movies:

Left of center films... dark comedies, thoughtful indies, arty foreign, cheesy gore...

Television:

I don't very much like television. The shows I liked aren't there anymore. Like Arrested Development. I am intrigued by Nova and other educational programs on PBS. Sometimes I will leave PBS cooking programs on because my cat likes to watch them. I'm serious.

Books:

I need to read more books. Any recommendations?
Last Night a DJ Saved My Life, Retail Design (I know, I'm a nerd), Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy, The Saturated Self, TimeQuake, Art & Photography books, Futura by Futura 2000, Lowdown Graphic Engineering by Marok (it contains information about everything I love i.e. music, art, skateboarding...), The Art of Getting Over by ESPO. 1000 New York City buildings, modern design books w/ pictures. Surface, Wallpaper & Dwell Magazine

lovely distractions...

I had visits from two reps today, one a textile rep and the other a luxury flooring rep.  They reminded me that this job doesn't have to suck, even though my regular surroundings are so difficult...

This weekend.  Maybe I'll buy you a drink...  Why?  I got a raise. (!)  Feel the need to get up and get down on the dancefloor.  If there's good music playing someplace... &nb...

Nerdy, I know.

So I was randomly watching bad television a couple of weeks ago, and I saw this commercial and was struck by how arty and dark and non-mainstream it sort of seemed.  Add to it that I have love that so...

In case you care...

Hey friends, I thought I'd pass along a link to a website that lists companies that do and do not test on animals.  Animals aren't the ones purchasing and consuming the products humans use, ...

If only the wind would just stay home...

I was walking to my car after workin' at the old record store last night around 9:30, and I realized something very strange.  It was very cold out - in the mid-low teens I believe, but I actually...

I feel bad for the trees...

Ever since I bought this condo, I've been getting my mailbox stuffed w/ crap.  It was always full of random design companies wanting me to specify their products, or silly credit card offers, but...

So I did a google search to see what the story was w/ the ".. this bitch" thing, and it came up w/ over 500 profiles that currently have that as their headline.  I wonder who he is and how he do...

I've got the brains, and you've got the looks...

Let's make lots of money.  For real.  I've got lots of hot friends, and plenty of them have that dangerous combination of hot w/ intellect.  I'm about to stop using my powers for ...

I'm running out of clothes...

That I can wear to work.  On Tuesday, my first day working in the new year, I wear my favorite sweater.  This sweater is the most stylishly practical piece of clothing I've ever owned. ...
