I'm an expat from Atlanta living in the East End of London. I'm like a Disney princess except I'm fat, I wear black all the time, and instead of butterflies and birds swarming around my head, I get drunk people... and actors. I fuckin love ribbons - yeah, RIBBONS, dude, especially in my hair. I'm a sweet, sensitive soul but look a bit like a bad little mama from a Russ Meyer or Blacksploitation film... or more like a Coop Devil Girl - yes I'm plump-with-a-belly, not a thinny, and won't ever be so love me or leave me alone! Did I mention that I'm packed into a 5'1 frame? Yep, a shorty. Did I mention I'm American? But a cool one.
I love: film, especially Horror - go to FrightFest every year - hell, my masters dissertation is going to explore a Cultural Studies approach to the zombie apocalypse. Yeah, I love horror that much. I also love... light hiking, FX makeup and alternative beauty makeup (that's my job basically), screenwriting (that's my other job), Sunday breakfast in bed, blasting conservatives/republicans, going for coffee/tea, getting all dolled up with other chicks, lying around in the park, cocktails!, quality time with loved ones, S&M (I'm a bratty sub), house parties, dinner parties, shoes, reading, making lots of love, core intimacy, painting and general creative projects (that's my other, other job lol), children, animals, cooking (I make a mean chili), live music, being spoiled (though I am not a materialist), being a frighteningly intelllectual geek covered in a deceptive squishy, plump, big breasted package... and I loved being a smoker but I hadda give it up.
I dislike: marmite, selfishness, body fascists, disability intolerance, race used as western cultural signifiers, lack of interpersonal maturity, porn addicts/sex addiction, stiff hugs/limp handshakes, plus people who can't hold their liquor and do stupid shit, people who won't dance with me even if I beg, lack of imagination, financially stingy people, and men who hit women (outside of S&M of course).
You can be my friend if...
you bake me cookies, you like horror films and furry animals.
MA Cultural and Critical Studies student and intern at The Arts Catalyst (I know, I know, that's not an occupation, but for now it is), formerly fx makeup artist, painter, writer, and wage slave.
