A woman at 20 is like ice, at 30 she is warm and at 40 she is hot. Gina Lollobrigida

About Me



My Interests



OK, I admit it, I'm not really 29, I'm in my 40's-BUT- I FEEL 29! My mom used to call me Gina Lollobrigida I am a TRUE pisces...two fish swimming in opposite directions! My birthday is March 4th - The only day that is a call forward - a very powerful day...it's also Chicago's birthday...my sweet home... I am Serbian and both of my parents were from Serbia. But growing up, my family was like the one in "My Big, Fat, Greek Wedding" - "Nice Serbian girls
are supposed to do three things in life:
marry Serbian boys...

I'd like to meet:

And another favorite movie...

Music:

make Serbian babies... and feed everyone... until the day we die."
my dad WAS Gus... "Give me a word, any word, and I show you that the root of that word is Serbian... "There are two kinds of people - Serbs, and everyone else who wish they was Serbian." "My dad believed in two things: That Serbs should educate non Serbs
a> about being Serbian and every ailment from psoriasis to poison ivy can be cured with Windex." You were right about almost everything, Mom and Dad!
Hvala Dragi i Ziveli Tata Zika i Mama Vida JA TE VOLIM. I LOVE Dogs!

Lately I've been obsessing over getting another one ...someone stop me, please! My interests are an extension of what I do for a living - I am a Concierge at a 4 star, 4 diamond hotel. A Concierge is sort of a Guardian Angel. The reason I became a Concierge was to combine my interest in cultural events, Chicago history and architecture with my job...I also enjoy helping people... it's rewarding to make people happy...so, as part of my job, I "have to" go to different events and functions ...so basically, I get paid to have F.U.N.! I have been practicing the Serbian language (my first language) ...it's like riding a bike... you never forget some things...I'm also learning to speak French...
I love to read... travel...

Movies:

I take LONG walks every day ...I love music and dancing... I belly dance and have wanted to learn ballroom dancing way before it became popular - I might try that next... I spent some time living in Scottsdale, Arizona... but moved back to Illinois to be near my family.Now I live in Chicago... Lincoln Park is my back yard...when I walk through Lincoln Park, I feel as if I have stepped into a painting by Monet. I also have a home in the country, so it's the best of both worlds...I design and create 1920's style beaded jewelry - I think I was a flapper

Television:

in a past life...In this life, I'm a sassy, ... saucy redhead! Off Broadway with Gregg Potter

Pro-Life?

I have a dear friend who is VERY conservative and of course, pro-life.  I happen to be liberal and pro-choice.  I don't necessarily approve of abortion, but I believe in a woman's right...

What do YOU want for Christmas?

I was at my local Starbucks this morning and the cashier asked me what was my number one gift that I wanted for Christmas?  I didn't even have to think about it - my answer was "nothing".  I...
