Introduction	Hi there! So you want to know about me? Well I'm a music loving, cat obsessed, bookworm with a penchant for vintage clothes and learning new languages. I have a "visual sweet tooth" and love all things feminine and cute. But I do have a darker side and am the type of girl who will wear a vintage dolly dress with a pair of silver studded heels. What can I say? I'm a fan of juxtaposition. I am also a big supporter of indie business. I buy everything I can from clothing to soap handmade. I started sewing 7 years ago after being inspired by some very talented designers in the indie fashion community. I started selling my clothes on ebay in '02 under the name Lux Dilemma. I decided to move to Etsy recently after I found out that ebay allows the sale of live animals on thier overseas sites. Last year I put Lux Dilemma to rest and began a new label that reflects who I am now: Girl Is Poison. And now I'd like to give back to all the talented designers I've met along the way as well as spread the word about DIY and indie fashion. This blog will do nicely.
