About Me

"Vice is natural in that it is selfish, while virtue is artificial because we must restrain our natural impulses in order to be good." ~ Baudelaire

*Old school by new school standards (new school by old school standards).*

I dj - 60s garage, 70s glam, punk, indie rock, 60s French pop, whatever. Music is my life.

I love movies, especially old ones.

I'm always reading a book. I love crazy biographies more than anything.

I love street fashion, high fashion, and haute couture. I'll pass on anything in between. If it doesn't make a statement, I couldn't be bothered.

I went to fashion design school, and make a lot of my own gear.

I've been a vintage clothing dealer for 8 years. Working on a new website. Wait.

Eventually, I'd like to become a makeup artist. I spend waaay too much $$$ at Sephora. Perhaps I'm a natural?
