About Me

.. ************* RO the KNIFE*TM************* ..
WATCH A FEW SECONDS OF RO! THE KNIFE'S RAVEN RECITAL BELOW AT THE FIRST ANNUAL GOTHIC GALA! (RAVEN HEADDRESS, CLASSIC *** VELVET * 13 *** )
*** YOUR C*O*U*N*T*E*S*S OF COUTURE! *** TM ************************************************************ *What could I possibly say to welcome your BEAUTIFUL SELF into my FANTASTICAL WORLD??? I am really a visual person moreso than a being of words- but once I turbo-charge that introverted self into extroverted "MAD SCIENTIST" mode-WATCH OUT!!! My lingo gets erratic, and a bit manic and zany! I am of Hungarian Romany and Sicilian descent, so one can say that the most quintessential symbol to describe my being is best captured in the form of a volcano....still without, yet containing a fierce fire of molten lava within!***************************************************** ** *************** But to begin somewhere, ************************ I can firmly say that I feel like an Extra Terrestrial visitor exploring the PHANTASMAGORICALLY SURREAL realm of Human Reality!***I also feel as though Life is a PERPETUAL DREAM- existing on many levels simultaneously- where a David Lynch-like Being, The Twilight Zone, Disembodied Spirits, Natural Disasters, Eternity, and the Unknown are brewing a Supernatural concoction in which to entertain Us! I am several parts WITCH / ALIEN / ARTIST / DREAMER / ANARCHIST / SMARTASS / MUSICIAN / MULTI-EXPRESSIONIST/ ENTREPRENEUR / THINKER / CO-CONSPIRATOR / REINCARNATIONALIST / TRICKSTER / SENSUALIST / LISTENER / AND HAG- all rolled into ONE- to name but a few traits that I can conjure up off-hand!!! ************************************************************ *
THERE ARE THOSE TO WHOM I RELATE IN SPIRIT....THESE I REVERE WITH BLISS... ************************************************************ **************** ************************************************************ **************** .. I HAVE A FETISH FOR OCCULT KNOWLEDGE, and for existing in a state of action-inspired TRANCE that results in Life-Affirming Creativity! I seem to understand the language of animals moreso than that of human Beings- and I always "BLOW MY COVER" where conventional value systems identify me as a complete and utter devotee of INNOVATIVE WAYS OF LIFE ********** I ADORE people who are not afraid to be fragile, yet warrior-like. I strongly dislike pretention, individuals who harbor dishonest ulterior motives, and individuals who assess the value of others according to how high their income is!!!! *********************************** I ASPIRE to take every chance that I receive to remember the most important things in Life: To laugh at One's self, to live in ****PERPETUAL BLISS***** To walk on the edge of EXPERIENCE as often as possible.....and to HONOUR the things that make living Ecstatic: ***THE ARTS***SPIRITUALITY***MUSIC***AND VISION*** I find a Kindered Spirit in those that are not afraid to acknowledge that diversity is a blessing, not a curse in Life, and that -therefore- there are many valid truths, belief systems and lifestyles which hold equal value*****I acknowledge that CHANGE is the only thing that holds any permanence**** I admire open-minded individuals that*** "KICK AGAINST THE PRICKS" ***MY SPACE IS MY PERSONAL TEMPLE***I ACKNOWLEDGE CONNECTIONS THAT ARE IN SYNC WITH MY VALUES*** SO IF THAT IS YOU***YOU SUBVERSIVE COOL CAT****THEN WELCOME*** VAMPIRES NEED NOT APPLY!!!! *************************************** ***************************************I WELCOME YOU TO EXPLORE THE MULTI-FACETED REALM OF THIS SPACE...HERE, I INTRODUCE TO YOU MANY REALMS OF ART *** MUSIC *** WITCHCRAFT *** AND GLAMOUR ******* I INTRODUCE TO THEE , ALL YOU SEXY ROCK 'N ROLL KITTENS, THE ONE AND ONLY CLOTHING COMPANY WHERE GENDER IS NOT AN ISSUE....WHERE PEACOCKS, PUNKS, CEREMONIALISTS, WITCHES, DRAG-QUEENS AND OUTCASTS FIND A SIMILAR REALM OF STYLE IN WHICH TO CELEBRATE THEIR SUBVERSIVE SELVES***WHERE INDIVIDUALS DEVOTED TO BEING A LIVING WORK OF ART COME TO FIND THEIR RITUAL THREADS! THIS IS WHERE ART AND FASHION UNITE... WHERE ONE ENCOURAGES THE EXPRESSION OF ONE'S INNER MAGICKAL SELF...THIS IS VELVET * 13 * TM * ******* SINISTER RITUAL CHIC! ********
