I'm Valerie, a good time with a vast taste in music, and a love surrealist art, obscure comics, and ranting via my manual typewriter (until it broke). Activist, astrology geek, bulldog puppy lover, vodka tonic with cherries drinker, story teller.

Currently working at a feminist-run adult shop in SoHo until I get my cosmetology license. Also collecting vinyl, doing hair out of my house, attempting to learn guitar, reading graphic novels, and probably shakin' it up at some random hole in the wall show on any given weeknight.

Keeping good conversation, writing, doing hair, prank phone calls, making pasta.

My hair, eyes, nose ring?

Books: Girl Interrupted, The Virgin Suicides, anything Daniel Clowes, Tank Girl comics, and Bell Hooks.

Movies: JAWS, Natural Born Killers, Pulp Fiction, Ghost World, Goodfellas, Switchblade Sisters, Zac&Miri Make a Porno, Forest Gump, anything Kubrick, and 1960s-1990s slasher flicks.

Shows: Super Jail!, Girls, Criminal Minds, American Horror Story, and my newest obsession, Wilfred.

Music: truthfully, almost everything (classic rock, riot grrrl, 50s/60s girl groups/70s rock/80s punk/ 90s alt, whatever). But lately is been a lot of Lou Reed, Bikini Kill, Nobunny, Queen, Tom Waits, Jemina Pearl, The Magnetic Fields, and Beastie Boys.
Food: pineapple pizza, gritz from Egg in Williamsburg, and good steak.

starting new artistic projects, what else i'd rather be doing, if i even really LIKE tea, and someday hoping to figure out what my favorite flower is.

Damned if I know.

That I turned down an offer to intern at DC Comics for an interview at MAD Magazine, and was rejected.

Oh, and my first celebrity crush as a kid was Ed Sullivan era Paul McCartney.

you're a good conversationalist with a creative/open mind and you're into SNL circa 1970s.
