Art Goddess and Earthy

About Me

I'm a mixed media artist with a flare for earth goddess imagery; a new age chick with Wiccan roots; a quirky girl with a grounded streak. I like to say I have a foot in both worlds-- logical and creative. It could be my Gemini moon, but I prefer to say I'm well rounded.
I Belong in Paris
Stylish and a little sassy, I was meant for Paris.
The art, the fashion, the wine, the men!
Whether I'm enjoying the cafe life or a beautiful park...
I'll love living in the most chic place on earth.

My Interests

I love anything dealing with strong female archetypes. Hence, my uncanny love for what I dub angry women music-- P.J. Harvey, early Ani Defanco, Lilly Hollibrook, the classics (Tori Amos, Alanis Morrisette); sad women like Patti Griffen; and just strong women music like Cassandra Wilson. I'm always up for checking out a new suggestion.I also like art (duh), the outdoors (particularly kayaking), coffee (unfortunately, I recently had to switch to decaf), Native American and spiritual interests, great intellectual conversations, Piers Anthony, chick literature (noticing a theme?), animals (thinking about getting a cat), and ....

I'd like to meet:

Friends I already have and interesting people I have yet to meet. But, please don't add me as a friend until you really are. I like to know you first.a href="http://freecodesource.com/" target="_self

Music:

Already answered that one

Movies:

Anything that makes me think, makes me feel, or scares me. I'm a wimp when it comes to horror movies-- I can't be left alone the night after watching one, but I keep coming back for more. Independent films tend to make me both think and feel, a good combination. I'm not a huge fan of Hollywood as one can only watch so many special effects without a story and character development.

Television:

The shows I really love are off the air: Buffy and Angel. My friends and I like to debate the finer points of Buffy and its cultural subtext. I also have to say Spike is hotter than Angel. I'd pick the genuine range of emotions over one-sided tortured soul any day. I also love H&G TV and Runway, Medium and Gilmore Girls. That makes me sound like all I do is watch TV, but really I don't.

Books:

Little of this, little of that and anything that catches my eye, but...I typically read chick litterature, Piers Anthony, Douglass Adams, Anis nin, Henry Miller...

Heroes:

I'm not sure I like the concept of heroes. It always feels like objectifying a person. No one is without their flaws, but there are certainly people I look up to and have impacted me. What Random Guardian are You?
I am the guardian of the butterflies! I bring out the joy and happiness of people by using different colored butterflies!

Well, here I am.  It's almost 1:30 am and I have had way too much sugar to sleep.  So I thought I would pop my own blog cherry and post.  Only now-- of course, in my sleep deprived stat...
