Treasure hunter and thrift store pirate, green thumb with an extensive succulent collection, aspiring gourmet, an all around busy girl who can't find enough time to go roller skating.

Song of the day: Aretha Franklin - Think

The Alchemist, The Fountainhead, Lamb, Moby Dick, The Dream Life of Balso Snell...

Amelie, The Sea Inside, anything Baz Lerman or Pedro Almodvar, Xanadu, the Star Wars original series, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, House of Flying Daggers, Hero, samurai movies with Toshiro Mifune, all the good old black and white classics, documentaries, especially historical and political ones.

I don't watch it, I rent it: Flight of the Conchords, Extras, Tales of the City, That 70's Show, Six Feet Under.

I love loud colors, especially paired with black and white prints and patterns. Eggplant and cranberry, toothpaste minty green and blue, any and all reds, peacock feather colors, metallics and blacks.

I have a bug collection of beetles, spiders, and butterflies from South America. My totem animals are the octopus, rhinoceros, elephant, and I love the idea of flying pigs. I have a collection of masks from places I've traveled hanging in my dining room and a series of virgin de guadalupes.

Favorite artists: Artemio Rodriguez, Derek Hess, Barry Moser, Mark T Smith (pre-commercial sell-out), etc.
