Surfer chick chic

Being included in the nightlife section of Washington Life magazine's current style issue is kinda funny. Sure I am out at night a lot, but usually at nerdy art events like the Cultural Development Corporation gala, which is where this picture was taken last May! I also think it's funny that I get to be in a style issue at all having been such a tomboy all my life. But I do like a cute dress. Like this one, which I picked up at Terra. Also note the super cool furry cuff made by Annamario Hernandez, which I got at the Civilian Art Projects "gift" shop. (Recycled fur so please don't throw any red paint on me!) At least my hair looked ok that night. Sort of a retro flip.

What they had to say about me:
