I'm an intellectual and artistic girl who dabbles in singing, painting, fashion design and writing, and I have a deep passion for brilliant, classic american literature, and a love of the outdoors. Oh, and by day, I'm a copywriter/publicist within the fashion industry.

My musical icons tend to be mostly retro, particularly 1960's (jimi hendrix, janis joplin, the doors, jefferson airplane, bob dylan), and jazz. But I'm also into really eclectic stuff like Tom Waits, Tom Petty, The Pixies, Robert Cray, Norah Jones, Patsy Cline, The Grateful Dead, Sade, etc. I could post a whole paragraph on "musical influences", but I'll save that for another time. I'm not much of a hipster in terms of musical taste or dress, and I generally can only get into music if I can understand the lyrics.

I have long blondish/reddish/brownish hair, and green eyes. I'm voluptuous in all of the right places.

I'm 1,000 times prettier in person, I swear- I'm just not at all photogenic!

I like parks and nature, or art openings/comedy shows/poetry readings/live music for first dates, as I like to do something stimulating so that the conversation flows easily and we have things to talk about.

I am a good dancer, but am shy about that at first, and generally am not into dinner on the first date. Wine is always good, though!
