I've been avoiding this because I find it awkward to write extensively about myself, but I love making lists, so here is my list:
-24 years old
-I have my BFA in art history and art conservation. I am currently in a post-graduate graphic design program (but it's not a master's program...it's hard to explain)
-Signature style: Artsy, voluminous, colorful, mod, funky but always tasteful! But a lot of times I prefer to be very simple, but always with a twist of some kind.
-I am Indian and Persian, but don't speak either Persian or Hindi/Gujarati because my parents insisted on using only English around me when I was a kid. I hate being monolingual though, and am desperate to learn Persian (or what you silly non-Persians call Farsi). It's so pretty!
-I'm also vegetarian, and I take it very seriously. I don't eat any fish, nor do I eat gelatin or rennet. I don't wear leather or fur, except on my feet because they are extremely wide and synthetics and other materials won't stretch enough to accommodate my foot. I tried for a couple of years to wear only synthetics and fabric, and they just made my feet worse. It was a hard decision to make, but a necessary one.
-Which brings me to the reason I am vegetarian: I absolutely love and adore animals. Animals and art/design are the loves of my lives.
-I have a cat, Toulouse aka Lucie who is my sweetheart. She is spoiled rotten and I would do anything for her. I even talk to her...in her language. She says "meow" and I meow back. I have a history of psychotic relationships with my pets. And I am very proud of it.
-I'm addicted to tea and used to drink about 12 cups a day. I have been trying to cut back and now I'm down to 5 cups. It's so hard, but now that it's hot out it's easier.
-I found YLF by googling how to wear swing jackets and I haven't looked back. Next to Facebook, it's the site I visit most regularly and I never anticipated making such great friends here, but I'm glad that I did and I hope to meet some of you someday!
