Despite this picture, I am not in fact the reincarnation of the Indian Devil. I also am not a human adaptation of the three-headed-dog in Harry Potter.
I AM
An ex-comedian
[1 year in LA = half of my savings spent on cheese and Improv school. YES AND.]
Price is Right Winner
[ Winnings: 1 lime green crotch-rider motorcycle, 1 Toyota Yaris, A wannabe Nespresso machine, 2 last season Kate Spade bags, 1 grand, and a conversation with a now, skinny, and fiesty Drew Carey.]
A once upon a time synchronized swimmer
[Tried out to be on the Olympic Team. Didn't get on. Next time I will not try to incorporate Missy Elliott into my routines.]
A hip hop dancer
[ Scratch the above comment about Missy Elliot. Missy is always appropriate.]
One of the chosen finalists slated to appear on the 32nd season of The Real World
[ Tried out as a joke...which got ironically real. Got an offer to be on the show, declined as I would like to keep my dignity.]
An Artist
[ So I obviously make a lot of money… Hire me so I can keep up with my expensive taste and pressed juice cravings.
