I’m closer to 30 than I am to 20. Sigh. I have always wanted to be “a writer” but I’m lost somewhere in the prologue…whittling away at a story I may never tell. Likes: pop culture. my chihuahua. architecture. modern art. elizabeth street. contemporary designer apparel. food. travel. foreign films. speakeasys. live music. politics. hot sauce. surprises. running in the rain. strangers. wednesdays. fearlessness…and 100s of other random things… maybe even you. A southerner by birth, northerner by the grace of God, I’m simply a nyc gal who is lost somewhere on my constant exploration of the city and the life,love, and pursuit found within it.
