Sexual Orientation: Straight
Relationship Status: Pictures? Married
Give us 5 interesting facts about you:
1. I don't wear pants or shorts. Ever. I don't even own a pair of pants of any type. I'm all about dresses and skirts.
2. My goldfish's name is Ferocia Coutura.
3. I collect old photographs. If I'm in an antique shop and they had any old photographs, I have to buy them.
4. I've been a vegetarian for four years.
5. My handwriting is extremely small. It's equivalent to a size six Verdana typed, which is coincidentally the only font that I use on Microsoft Word.
Favorites
Foods: vegetable lo mein, hummus, black olives, cucumber sushi, asparagus and vodka sauce.
Hobbies: film photography, digital photography, graphics design, fashion, thrifting and painting.
Actors/Actresses: Mitch Hewer, Gael Garcia Bernal and Louis Garrel.
Colors/Color Combinations: My favorite color is mustard yellow, but I tend to stick to blacks and other neutrals in my clothing choices. My favorite combination is grey and mustard yellow.
Please name 5-10 on each.
Bands: The Beatles. I can't find another band that even compares with them.
Books: Norwegian Wood, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, Everything is Illuminated, The Virgin Suicides and The Great Gatsby. Murakami and Safran-Foer are extremely close to my heart.
Movies: Lloyd Neck, By Modern Measure, Man, Marrying God, The Science of Sleep and The Virgin Suicides.
TV Shows: Project Runway is by far my favorite show on television, but I have a liking for almost all reality shows. I'm a little bit embarrassed to admit that I completely enjoy A Shot At Love With Tila Tequila!
Magazines (if any): Preen is my favorite! I read Nylon sometimes, but it's heading downhill quickly. I love Glamour as a fun read.
Describe your personality in 3-5 sentences:
This is hard for me because I think that I'm currently in the process of discovering who I really am. For the past two years, I've subconsciously pretended to be someone who I'm not, in an attempt to make people laugh and to be the center of attention at all times. I just recently realized that I needed to stop and try to be myself and I'm still working on getting to my core. On the surface level, I would describe myself as being friendly and usually too nice for my own good.
List three goals you have for your life:
1. I want to pursue a career involving design. I'm really into graphics design, fashion design and interior design and I hope that I'll go into one of those fields.
2. I also want to adopt children. I can't see myself ever actually having a child, but I love children and I think it would be great to give a child a home. There's a teacher at my school who adopted a girl from an orphanage in Romania and I'm really inspired by that, especially when I hear stories about the poor conditions of the orphanage and when I see how happy the girl is now.
3. I touched on this in the personality section, but I really want to find out who I truly am. This could take an entire lifetime, but I'm prepared to work for it, since I think the end result will hopefully be rewarding.
Choose anything in the world that you feel strongly about and tell us why. Be creative in choosing and try to avoid the obvious things like gay marriage, war, and abortion.
I'm sorry for not being creative, but I have to choose poverty. For the past three years of my life, I've been working with a program that plans parties and activities for children living in a housing development in the city. Once a month, we go down to the city and play with the kids and it's one of the most rewarding things I've ever done.
You are stranded on a desert island. Choose three things to bring with you and tell us why.
1. Mitch Hewer - enough said.
2. My Canon Rebel - I couldn't leave my husband behind! I would rather bring a film camera, but then I'd have to bring film and a darkroom too.
3. A lot of vegetable lo mein - absolutely delicious.
Who is your favorite super hero/villain and why?
She was always my favorite Powerpuff Girl when I was little!
Post a picture of a celebrity that you think is beautiful and elaborate on why you think that.
Jean Seberg is a huge inspiration to me. I think that she is absolutely gorgeous, as well as a style icon. For some reason, I'm absolutely fascinated by beautiful people who have tragic lives and Jean Seberg definitely fits that description.
Make us laugh in any way you choose.
Now be creative and put whatever you'd like in this space. It can be something you made, wrote, like...
This is a vector image of myself that I made last week. It's essentially a drawing in Photoshop.
