Introduction Hi there. Sit back, relax and enjoy the sideshow! I'm Tanja, the supreme overlord of this blog! I'm a Croatian-American from Queens, NYC. Now living happily in Croatia. A young wife-to-be, freelance makeup artist, cat lover, beauty fanatic, lover of shiny things, vintage freak, obsessed with Old Hollywood, Pinup & makeup snob. Living every day to it's fullest ♥
Interests Writing, drawing, locking myself in a room with a loud stereo, Pin-up culture, makeup, cats, tattoos & tattoo art, VHS tapes, cooking a meal & baking dessert, Greek mythology, old hollywood, anything vintage & classic old time horror flicks ♥
Favorite Music I love my NYC local music scene, I love the underground, the raunchiness, the grime. My favorite band of all time is Nirvana, though my squealing fan girl obsession has simmered down. GIVE ME SOME ROCKABILLY, I'LL TAKE IT ANY DAY! Johnny Cash, Wanda Jackson, Carl Perkins, Elvis the almighty ♥ Pyschobilly, smooth jazz, raunchy punk rock, some metal, alternative, grrlllll riot! Croatian artists like Damir Urban & TBF. I have a wide range of music that tickles my fancy ♥
Favorite Books I've been writing my novel 'WINGED ACOUSTIC' since early 2007. It became a two-part series. At the moment, I'm trying to find a literary agent *fingers crossed* I have a picky book taste. I loved reading history textbooks; pages upon pages about Ancient societies gripped me. I like coming-of-age novels, books with lots of reality in them, a lot of truth & ugliness. Among my favorites are American Psycho, The Perks of being a wallflower, A clockwork orange, A child called ''IT'', Another roadside attraction, Lord of the flies, Catcher in the Rye. And plenty of others that have short-circuited my brain.
