Fashion really. I draw pinups, make music, dabble in burlesque and street art, but its all just for fashions sake.

People like Nina Hagen who aren’t afraid to look like a big drag queen once in a while, and people who make everybody uncomfortable without really trying. What do you love about Seattle? I love how gay Seattle is and I love how many outlets there are for artists. The mayor is trying to change all that right now. Buildings all over Capitol Hill (the "artsiest" and "gayest" part of the city) are being torn down to be replaced by horrible ugly condos that cost upwards of $500,000 dollars. All the independent businesses are being put out now. All the artists are slowly being replaced by middle aged yuppies who go to their condo gyms everyday to work off their expensive steak dinners made by some working class kid who they consider unfavorable even though that kid is the reason this area is so trendy and appealing to them in the first place! I'm currently waiting for a revolt. Like involving torches and pitchforks. I have neither of these things in my possession, therefore someone else gets to start it... What 3 places are a must for those visiting Seattle? FOOD comes first. Try my vegan suggestions of: The Wayward Cafes greasy diner food (worker owned and operated!) Hillside Quickie vegan soul food or for cheepies you'll find me at Than Brothers Pho, or an Ethiopian joint! for FASHION check out: Atlas Clothing for your hilarious eighties fix (at a bargain!) The Pretty Parlor for your handmade with love indie designer fashions. And check out local brand Hipposchemes online!

Cult classics galore and a staff who doesn't care how drunk you are. Go shopping at "the bins" in Georgetown. The lowest of the low in the goodwill shopping circuit. Enjoy sifting through plastic troughs of random crap! What goodies will you pull out?? An awesome old "care bear" suitcase like the one I found? Or the soiled Santa themed corduroy toilet seat cover my boyfriend proceeded to wear as a mask? Its like playing go fish with your childhood and s.t.d.s! And its priced per pound! Do you read magazines/newspapers, if so, which? I like "fruits and street" magazine. I like fashion magazines. I like pretty pictures... Any websites you read on a regular basis?
