Information
New: I was made over
by the "Fab 5" from the famous Bravo primetime
show! It was a blast!
Bio: I was born in New York City but moved to London,
England when I was two. I grew up there and moved back
to the States ten years later. I am still an avid traveller
and have visited China, Tunisia and most of Europe—I
spent about 5 months in Europe working on various projects
for Volunteers For Peace, an international youth organization.
There I worked on archaeological digs and renovating a
Roman amphitheater among other things.
I've
also studied martial arts for nine years; perform magic
(lifetime member of The International Magicians Society);
and collect and dj trance and house music. I am a big
animal lover and I can speak conversational Spanish.
