International Velvet
I am a junior slowly plugging away at a Family Social Sciences major and a GLBT studies minor. Someday, I hope to work with GLBT youth. I have an odd collection of hobbies, in summer I show horses and dogs. I also do quite a bit of gardening in a floppy hat (it makes it that much more exciting). I also have been a drag performer for many years and am involved with a local band.
I love old films and some of my favourites are: The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, All About Eve, Suddenly, Last Summer, Splendor in the Grass and Grey Gardens. I am pretty obsessed with Grey Gardens and if you want to dive into a world of insanity you should rent it. I read a lot of Jewish literature, one of my favourite authors is a professor at the U named Judith Katz. She has two amazing novels called Running Fiercely Towards A Thin High Sound, and The Escape Artist. I also am quite fond of the book Lipshitz Six, or Two Angry Blondes by T Cooper. I love music a list of all would be exhaustive, but some of my tops include: Wolf Parade, the Unicorns, Gay Against You, SSION, Sissy Bar, Freezepop, Adult., Bis, Yma Sumac, Bessie Smith, Maria Callas, Gay Beast, First Communion After Party, Lady Sovereign, Deerhoof, Ladytron, The Gossip, and The Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Oh and here is a photo of my supermodel dog…
