Age: 43 years young

Gender: F

Resides: After having my sweetie son, I moved to Kansas after living in NYC for 13 years – much easier family life here and WAY more cultural than you’d think (yeah, I felt you all envisioning tornados and cows in fields – I swear it’s totally not like that where I live!)

Occupation/ Industry: Opera singer / voice teacher

Favorite Bags: Bottega Veneta, Vintage Chanel

Hobbies: Scuba diving, long walks, music events (everything from opera to grunge!), gardening, running my 6 year old to all his activities

Favorite drink: Ice tea, wine (though I can’t drink it too often because it has a negative effect on the vocal cords…sigh…)

Favorite food: Indian and Thai

Favorite TV show: LOST all the way baby! Dying for the new season!

Odd things about me: I speak 4 languages (I know, not THAT unusual for anyone outside the U.S.). I’m tall (5’10 ½”). I’ve scuba dived with sharks. I’m really into etymology and tend to be a grammatical perfectionist (I know, annoying, right?)

Things that scare me: Don’t even like to mention them because, like most of yours, they involve people I love and I don’t want to give my fears energy by stating what they are.

Current obsessions: Bottega Veneta (have loved forever, but have only recently started to buy), Italy (I ADORE almost everything about the country), music (especially Wagner – the Ring is awesome, not long and boring like most people think!), LOST, Dave Navarro’s internet show “Spread TV” which I find strangely fascinating, and, I almost forgot – TPF!

Catabie, you are my hero if you wear 3 inch heels into the delivery room! You go girl!
Valkyrie, there's nothing wrong with cows; they're oddly restful to watch as long as you can't smell them!
