About me

Gender Female
Industry Education
Occupation retired for now
Location Portland, Oregon, United States
Introduction I am a "Fabric Engineer," making mostly wearables. I also make jewelry, ornaments, toys, etc. etc. On May 12, 2017 I retired from my job at Rice University in the anthropology department. I moved to Portland, Oregon so I could watch my 2 grandchildren grow up. My super power is stopping buses with my butt. Ten days after my retirement party I was hit from behind by a bus while walking Sweetsie. The impact shattered my right hip. I'm lucky to have survived. I'm working hard to get back to a normal lifestyle.
Interests I LOVE PINK POODLES! Sewing is my number one interest, including garments, crafts and art; fiber arts; books; travel; cats, etc.etc.etc..... Lately I've been reading about Japanese culture.
Favorite Movies Update: My favorite is the new Star Trek movie- "Star Trek Into Darkness!" Star Trek 3 - the one with the dolphins has now moved into the #2 spot.
Favorite Music I Love Rock and Roll by Joan Jett is my number one favorite since it was released in 1982.
Favorite Books White Teeth by Zadie Smith

Your superpower is that you smell like dandelions whenever someone lies. How will you maintain your secret identity?

I will wear lilac perfume.
