“I’m inspired, like a magpie is by burning embers or Vince Noir by disco balls. Anything sparkly, retro, textured, layered, dramatic or nostalgic needs to be on me and be on me now! Basically everyday is an opportunity to invent a new character with a ridiculous story to justify the madness that I have created. My philosophy is that there really isn’t a single bad day if you can wear a feather or a cape.”

“Studying the arts opened my eyes a lot to the concept of mainstream beauty standards and how shockingly women (in particular) are portrayed. I became sick of not seeing anyone in a magazine, on a billboard or on television that I could relate to, because being a short curvy chick isn’t the norm in the media.”
