By day I work at a digital imaging pre-press house doing film for printshops and some graphic design. I've also worked as a photo printer, photographer (I was a photo/art major in college), vintage model, and burlesque dancer.

My main hobby is collecting vintage clothing for the past 25 years. (The closet space HAS run out.) Most of it is 50's and 60's although my collection does date back as far as 1910. I also enjoy creating other costumes (fantasy & futuristic) and specializing in recreating the looks of several different eras. Then, I like to wear some of the stuff to various vintage (inspired) events.

I'm also into historical preservation issues, classic and silent films (I'm a sucker for a plotless-yet-brightly-colored Maria Montez film), music of all eras (including today's & tomorrow's-like modern lounge and electronica), driving my 1963 Chevy Nova (named Audrey) while also dreaming of a new Mini, and doing yoga to remind myself to come back to the present once in a while.
