Gilda's Interests
General
Lord, where do I start? How do I remember them all? I LOVE CLOTHES! SHOES! JEWELRY! MAKEUP! FASHION! I love going out dancing, entertaining the multitudes, and being around people. BUT, I ALSO insist on my privacy. I love my old house, where I can get away from people when I want. It's my Haven. Don't just drop by. Call first. I love working in the yard, inside the house also. I have been restoring this hundred year old house for four years now. I enjoy reading great books, painting, and I am working on my own book now. I love to travel, I want to see everything that I can while I'm around. I love art galleries, museums, amusement parks, fairs, flea markets, malls, so many things and places! So many interests...
Music
This is hard. Too many artists. I guess I'd say just about anything except rap and country. Unless it's Dolly Parton and Emmylou Harris, of course.
Movies
I tend to look for Independent and Foreign films the most. I adore French, German, Italian and British ones. I also love the great movies from Hollywood's Golden Age. I watch them often, and have tons of books on many of the stars from that period. With today's movies, I love the dramas most. Period pieces too. Historical. The ones that I DO NOT LIKE are the ones with no plots, using violence, vulgarity, or ridiculous car chases to fill in the screen time. Needless gore and nudity for cheap thrills don't interest me in the least. PLUS, comedies aren't that big for me most of the time. I have a very dry sense of humor, and have never found many people that funny. I hate having to sit through some insanely boring film with actors acting like idiots, thinking that they are comedic geniuses.
Television
Oh let me see... I love "LOST", "Prison Break", "The View", Showtime's "The Tudors", and I especially love British sitcoms. I so miss new episodes of "Absolutely Fabulous" and "Keeping Up Appearances"! I love Patsy and Hyacinth! What characters they both were. One trend that I don't care for is the "Reality" show. I like to watch programs that require a "WRITER" with an EDUCATION. PLOTS! And don't even get me started on "Jerry Springer" and "Maury Povich"! How very sad they are... What limited intelligence it requires to be entertained by such human garbage. I can't think of any more right now...
Books
I am a voracious reader! I have ALWAYS loved a great book. Some of my favorite authors are Tennessee Williams, Truman Capote, Colleen McCullough, J. R. R. Tolkein, Dean Koontz, Stephen King, Celestine Sibley, and of course, Anne Rice. I love biographies, memoirs, autobiographies, and historical ones the most. If it's good, I also enjoy curling up in a quiet room, by a window, and reading a scary book. I don't care for self help books, detective mysteries, science fiction, "how to" ones, or religious propaganda. I have many, many bookshelves, lining many, many walls, throughout the house. Stacks of books on many, many surfaces! Books everywhere! They have gone with me to many different cities, in my wanderings throughout the years. I sure used the word "many" alot, didn't I? LOL
Heroes
I am getting burnt out on having to think of all these things to write! Heroes? There have been some people whom I have loved passionately, and admired. Some I have looked up to, and emulated, but having a "Hero"? I don't think that I have ever had any.
First off, I am an ENTERTAINER. It is all I have ever been, my entire adult life. I am now living in Western North Carolina, where I moved from Tampa, Florida. I grew up in Florida. It is in my blood. It was in that state where I "blossomed" into womanhood, and acquired my impeccable fashion taste! LOL I performed from one end of Florida to the other, for many years as an adult. I met my BEST friends there. Friends who have always been there for me and never judged me. Even when they didn't agree with many of my decisions, they still let me BE ME. I also spent MANY years in Atlanta, performing and TERRORIZING! I LOVED Atlanta. Maybe TOO MUCH. But sadly, the Atlanta I knew, is gone. And not for the better. Just ask the people who remember when that city RULED. As far as living in NC now, I needed to get away from everything. I have made some very bad decisions and many mistakes. A person can get caught up in too many superficial things, too many destructive habits and forget who they are, and what is really important... There comes the day when you have to WAKE UP and decide if you want to keep on living and what kind of life it is that you want... and deserve. I have finally found that life here. I am now at peace.
Who I'd like to meet: Oh... basically anyone who has their head together. First off, I can't handle self centered fools. Don't like thieves, liars, and parasites. And DON'T THINK that I am gullible, naive, or even dim witted. Nothing could be further from the truth than that. If you have ideas on using me for anything, or getting anything over on me, keep walking. Now, since I am in the entertainment field, I especially love getting in touch with others in the same game. I have been so fortunate to have met so many amazing people in this line of work and I love that MySpace has allowed me the opportunity to reconnect with so many of them! I love to travel and still do shows all over. But now there is a difference. I perform when I want to, not because I have to.
lily white on this end!...I'm so looking forward to being in Asheville and seeing you and Mark again!...'Bele Chere'(I know I misspelled that)is gonna be a hoot this year!
See you on Friday, the 25th,...gotta start th' party a day early!!!
