About Me

A/S/L:

• 23
  
• Female
  
• Los Angeles

Everyday essentials:

• Splenda
  
• Newspaper
  
• Internet access on my 3 lb. laptop computer that I’ve fondly named “lappie”
  
• Dance shoes
  
  What’s your poison?
  
• Brewed coffee, often decaf
  
• My homemade sugar-free hot cocoa (hey, I’m an athlete—you get creative with treats)
  
• Rich, yummy red wine—Malbec, Sangiovese, and Cab Blends in particular
  
• Vintage cocktails made right, like Manhattans and Sidecars. Yes, I enjoy Bourbon and Brandy and I’ve got plenty of hair on my chest to prove it.
  
  I am
  
• An only child
  
• usually cold
  
• one of the guys. Always have been.
  
• quite good with money
• a dual citizen of Canada
• happy
  
  Likes
  
• Bathrobes. Big, fluffy, white ones
  
• Watching Basketball games
  
• Going barefoot— I’ll usually slip off my sandals in restaurants if I can be inconspicuous and the place isn’t too nice.
  
• Gay men
  
• Inclement weather when I’m indoors. The indoors part is key.
  
• Cigars…with much moderation, of course
  
  Dislikes
  
• White wine
  
• Women who giggle
  
• Paying for parking. I dislike parking laws too, in fact I’ve had to talk my way out of getting ticketed at LAX on several occasions.
  
• Most children
  
• People who’ve made lots of money but are still rude and coarse. There’s a lot of that out here in LA.
  
• Having to call customer service for any major company and try talking to a representative. Specifically, this is Sprint, Anthem Blue Cross and my absolute favorite, Sallie Mae.
  
  Hobbies
  
• Genealogy
  
• Traveling and exploring new places. This doesn’t happen often and it’s usually starts as something other than leisure, but I still love it.
  
• Cooking and baking
  
• Biking along the beach
  
• Seeing the Oscar picks for each year. I don’t like spending money on bad movies, so I just wait for the Academy to tell me what’s good.
  
  I can’t
  
• Draw
  
• Read music
  
• Paint my nails with any real skill. Seriously, I am an embarrassment to the female sex.
  
• Play pool. I’m awful—it’s painfully obvious I spent most of my college education either working or at a dance studio.
  
• Mince words. I either say it out right or not at all.
  
  I can
  
• Sing…I used to be a jazz singer in high school
  
• Fall asleep anywhere
  
• Run in heels
  
• Talk my way out of or into just about anything. But I don’t use my powers for evil, don’t worry.
  
• Check my oil and transmission fluids, pump a hydraulic car jack and change a flat tire… all in a sun dress. And yes, you do get curious looks for doing things like that.
  
  I have
  
• driven across the county
  
• cried while listening to exceptionally beautiful music
  
• huge eyes
  
  I have never:
  
• been to a frat party. I just never wanted to go-- I don't drink crap and the frat boy thing just never appealed to me.
  
• cut my hair short
  
• been fired from a job
  
  Pet peeves:
  
• Retail sales associates who try to get involved in my shopping experience. Ladies, I’ll ask you for a fitting room if I want one and when I’m in there half clothed, don’t start knocking on the door and asking “how are we doing?”
  
• Mediocre restaurants silently putting additives in their food like whipping cream, butter and lard to make their “cuisine” edible.
  
• Public transportation systems in big cities that don’t work.
• People who aren’t passionate about anything
  
  People know me by:
  
• My walk. Hey, if you take minor scoliosis and put it through six years of Ballroom training, the posture’s pretty recognizable.
  
• My facial expressions.
  
• I sit with my legs folded “Indian style,” all the time. Even in restaurants or in a dress, if possible.
  
• My laugh. It’s usually quite loud and not traditionally girly—just like me!
  
• My casual stance is with one leg turned out, kind of like 2nd position in Ballet. I actually trip people sometimes by accident.

Favorite Words:

• Toast
• Pour
