THE "LADY" BEHIND GROWN LADY GARMENTS
"Why not?" - Hilary Duff (& now Alley Biniarz)
I've always had a million and two things on the go. At least 10 passions, 5 jobs, and I was constantly applying to new ones. What was I looking for? A sense of community. A purpose. Just the small things in life, y'know?
My life's motto has always been: "why not?"
Why not try something new?
Why not combine everything you love into one hub?
"Why not" has led me to do a few wild things like: live abroad in France, audition for community theatre, apply for an MFA, audition for Disney Land Paris, and fall in love a time or three (third time WAS the charm, actually.)
I am: a lover of fashion, an admirer of badass womxn, an advocate for mama earth, and I have a deep once-in-a-lifetime, head-over-heels, screaming-matches-in-the-parking-lot kind of love with the written word.
So, why not combine them all?

The "good on paper": BA(H): English & French Lit (UWindsor); BA-One Year: Journalism (UKings); MFA in Creative Nonfiction (UKings).
The "extras" about me: I pitch articles, I write poetry, I teach writing & dance, and I sing. I am sun shining through a storm. As Walt Whitman would say: I am large, I contain multitudes.
That about sums up my weird, wonderful, and creative self. Hopefully you like what you see (because as much as I wish I could say that I don't care, I sure do)!
