About Me
An unabashed liberal humanist aesthete and radical feminist girly-girl, I'm the sharp-dressed solitary blonde in stockings and stilettos you'll find standing transfixed in front of the Klimts and Kandinskys at the museum, mesmerized by Machaut and Messiaen at the concert hall. I'm sitting in front of you at the midnight showing of 'Edward Scissorhands' and the Sunday matinee of 'Early Summer' and I'm the woman waiting patiently behind you on line at the La Perla sale and lingering over lipstick at the Lancome counter. I live for art and artifice (not to mention alliteration) and just can't imagine why anyone would ever do otherwise!
