Art - in ALL of the spectacular forms in which it can be showcased.
Music
Music fills my life - every minute of every day.
All music. The honesty and integrity behind the music is what holds it up above the rest - not the 'genre' of the music.
But I must admit, I seem to be more 'inspiring' to rockers.....

Movies
Beautiful visual representations of what is creative and individualized within the writers, directors, wardrobe artists, hairstylists, acting coaches, make-up artists, all of the technicians, set designers, the camera specialists, and the actors.
No matter the genre of the film - it is all graphically stunning creativity and artistry.
'What Dreams May Come' is one that I consider to be a favorite. 'The Fifth Element' is another. Can't forget 'Gone With The Wind'.
Television
I do not spend time involved with viewing.
But the creativity and inspiration behind the images that can be seen on the small screen are phenomenal forces.
If I had to come up with a few names, it would most likely be 'Six Feet Under' (all reruns, unfortunately)
'Dexter' (not the cartoon) or
'Heroes'
Books
Food for my soul, are books and is reading.
Intellect and education are paramount in this world.
It doesn't need to be Quantum Physics to qualify as reading - piano theory books, sheet music, classic literature, poetry, history, religious or spiritual guides, .. just pick something up and feed yourself some knowledge.
Heroes
Souls who have no fear of their creativity, and allow freedom within themselves, with no worry or obsession as to what 'everyone else' is doing in the world of creativity.
Provider of pep-talks, booster of self-esteem, enabler of self-confidence, shoulder to cry on, cheerleader.
I am supportive of ALL artists, art forms, and genres of creativity. Imagination and individuality are healthy, integral components of being 'human'.
For many years, I have been referred to as a 'personal muse' by a very dear (musician) friend of mine. Although he still uses that pet name for me, I think it's time to share the wealth. This well is in no danger of running dry.
My Background, Experience, And Knowledge Base :
I'm sure to leave out a lot, but this is a quick basic idea for those who have been asking.
This includes what makes me 'me' ..but not previous 'job' details. I don't want to feel like I'm presenting a resume (and I'm sure nobody wants to read one!)
To answer some of the most frequent specific questions :
Yes, my hair really is 'that' long
My eyes are light blue
Yes, I have body modifications (no surgery!) ...Piercings & Ink.
(And no, you probably won't get to see them)
I'm 5'10"
No, I wasn't really born in 1937
Yes, I truly am a Capricorn (Dec 25)
I keep my nails long and manicured. It feels sexy and is the best accessory going.
I'm a cat person AND a dog person. I have a one-year-old deaf Australian Shepherd (deaf from birth, I rescued him from a kill-shelter fate) who has learned ASL (Sign Language). Yes, I give the signs, HE obeys.
I am of Mohawk and Dutch descent.
I have lived in NE Ohio, SW Ohio, New York, North Carolina, Ontario (Canada), and SW Florida. No, I am not in the witness-protection program, as some like to joke.
The picture of 'Cousin It' IS Cousin It. (Just a comparison photo)
I am an avid keyboardist and pianist.
I read both sheets and tabs, and I write, as well.
I have comprehensive knowledge of recording industry.
I love my art supplies - watercolors, charcoals, pastels, oils, graphite.
Lifelong passion.
At one point in time, I spent a lot of time with a guitar....
I passed some time as a ... what do they call it? ...oh, yeah : band manager
I've also interviewed bands (not for magazines, but for promoters, venues, unions, etc., on the hiring, booking, contractual end - I guess more like a 'talent scout'/'booking agent' if I was forced to come up with a term people might recognize), hired bands, promoted bands, written the paychecks to bands, photographed bands, and my vocals were used as fill on one or two tracks that made a bit of radio play.
I love to write.
I absolutely love my camera. My passion for photography has never lessened. I prefer my SLR's to my digitals.
I have spent many many many hours photographing musicians (at their request and with their knowledge), both onstage and off.
I have spent many combined years formally studying and (in some cases working in) the fields of :
voice, stage make-up, etiquette & deportment, synchronized swim, eventing (equestrian - hunter/jumper), ballet, runway, photography, music history & theory.
I have instructed a few individuals in selected fields mentioned above.
I am a debutante. (no .. not the 'dirty' type from the movies). Yes, there are still such things as debutantes, charity balls, and cotillions. I was presented when I was 18 years old.
I have traveled extensively, love seeing new places, and always look forward to meeting new people. Every place has a very unique personality, and history. I have a deep appreciation of all of it.
I am patient, open-minded, and non-judgmental.
I am sensitive, understand my emotions, and always strive to respect the needs and feelings of others.
Yes - everyone has their bad days. But I try to not let my rough day ruin yours.
I am very much a free spirit. Don't try to nail me down.
But I can be very demanding at times, and you can expect it of me.
I can stomp my foot like a spoiled little girl, and I can curse better than a lot of men. I grew up as a 'child of privilege', hence the 'spoiled', and I also grew up around musicians, hence the 'potty mouth'. And I have an undeniable talent for blending the two together at the same time.
I will keep you on your toes, as there is no second-guessing me.
Who I'd like to meet:
Artists, Musicians, and Creative Souls who live in the freedom of expressing their own individuality.
