| Introduction | I guess you could say I'm a hedonist. My favorite things in the world tend to stimulate the senses to the nth degree. I like to wear soft, delicate fabrics. I love to eat and savour every single bite. Meals with me can take a long time. I love wine, for the colour, the scent, the taste and the feeling. Massage, both giving and receiving, is not a luxury but a necessity IMHO. I'm not a girly girl, but I'm a dyed-in-the-wool romantic. I love old movies with happy endings. I also enjoy a good cry, but not too often because the world is just too lovely. I love the way dancing makes me feel. I never get tired when I'm dancing, but sometimes the crash afterwards can be brutal. That's when I need TLC the most. Music that touches my heart can lift me up and make me feel beautiful inside, even in the most awful moments. Um, other than that, I'm a dancer. Not married, although I came close a couple of times. I'm too married to my career, I guess. I teach dance class to little kids, too. So that is me. You want more, you'll have to ask. |

| Favorite Movies | I love old B&W movies. My favorite is probably "Rebecca", a kind of romantic Hitchcock, if you can imagine it. And the first time I saw "West Side Story", I turned to my mom and said I was going to be a dancer when I grew up. I love Gregory Peck and Fred MacMurray and Carole Lombard, but my favorites are the dancers. Fred Astaire, Donald Jackson, but best and smoothest of them all was Gene Kelly. Oh my, yes. |
| Favorite Music | Anything, really. As long as I can move to it. Any era, too. Each has its charms, although I have a real appreciation for jazz and blues-infused soul. One of my favorite songs ever is "Moody's Mood for Love", as performed by Quincy Jones. |
| Favorite Books | I prefer non-fiction, especially biographies and historic accounts. Right now, I'm re-reading the Judy Garland story. |
