About me: i work with vintage fashion. it is fun, and i feel lucky.
one of the most life changing experiences i've had was working for only 2 measly weeks of my life, in an Aboriginal school. I learnt about their lives, histories; their talents and their sadnesses.they were beautiful.
i like amaretto on ice, and i like romantic gestures.
I need sea air and blue water. I need country hills and hommity pie. I need soft felines and fires outdoors. I need music and I need photos.
I like fish tanks and I like boardies. I like memoirs and honest smiles.
Who I'd like to meet: Liono. Cheetara.dwayne wayne from 'It's a different world'.ross noble.OLD GREG.more too please. David Attenborough would be good (Met Richard at my graduation.not as good). Fassbinder.Mads Mikkelson. Timbaland. Steve Irwin...Ursula Andress is my new heroine.It changes. Arthur Russell, but he is gawn.
Jay Adams now. that'd been an interesting one.
Any of the artists from the film 'Beautiful Losers'......
