name / age / location:Michelle/17/Pasadena, CA
3+ sentences about you: I constantly read poetry by Sylvia Plath and never get sick of it, while maintaining the same level of love for Italo Calvino, an Italian writer. I fear birds not because i think it'll eat me but because i'm disgusted by the filth of the feathers and its long sharp beaks and claws, but i work perfectly with spiders and other insects that frighten the vast majority. I'm in love with New York and earlier decades of the twentieth century such as the forties and fifties and red lipstick/gloss and some platform shoes, preferably heeled mary janes but i'm not a typical bitch, or a bitch for that matter, not when you get to know me. Oh yea, I'm asian. And i tend to write run-one sentences and break the rules.
how long have you been into creative arts?For awhile. More unconsciously when i was younger and more aware that i was into the arts beginning in high school.
name some of your favorite artists/writers/photographers:Andy Warhol, Sylvia Plath, Italo Calvino, John Irving, Nabokov, Anne Sexton, Matisse, and a lot of my favorite photographers are my friends and various obscure others.
post a few pictures of yourself:
I spent a summer in New York City, intensely writing and studying creative writing. And dormlife, i have to say, is like a festive party everynight. Here are some photos from then:
