About Me

Hello!

I stumbled upon Swap-Bot through the postal society. This looks like fun!

I'm all moved in but, still unpacking. If anyone sent anything to me, it might take a while to get to me because of my address change so if you haven't gotten a rating yet, that's why. It's good to be back!

I am a new bride, being married last August.Jazz singer by night, I also have a passion for classic movies, chocolate and tea. I hope to have more time to read soon, as I miss my huge book collection.

I am also an actress and writer, and am recently getting back to two of my favorite pastimes, photography and embroidery!

I love, love, LOVE paper dolls, vintage clothes and any quirky cool vintage-y things. I am a published paper doll artist and have an irregular blog. Kawaii is awesome, and I can honestly say I was one of the first collectors of Hello Kitty. lol

I am giddy about meeting people and having adventures and seeing what neat things the world has to offer!

Favorite Music

Jazz spanning the 1920s to the 1960s

Favorite singers are Peggy Lee, Ella Fitzgerald, Bobby Darin, Anita O'Day, Billie Holiday, Jeanette MacDonald, Serge Gainsbourg, Julie London, Mel Torme, Dean Martin, Doris Day, Helen Forest and Blossom Dearie to name a few.

Crazy about Opera, adore the American song book, Classical, and Roy Orbison. I also am a grunge girl at heart, loving the alternative bands and grunge movement of the 90's.

Favorite Books

P.G. Wodehouse (all of it. Everything he wrote is gold)

The Sun Also Rises (Hemingway)

Jane Austin,

Mark Twain

Agatha Christie

and more...

Favorite Movies

Classic movies. LOVE them and I support their restoration and research. I am currently writing books on specific aspects and the genre.

I generally adore movies though, as long as they're not horror or anything depressing like that. A list of my faves (both old and new) are:

Classic, renaissance and recent Disney movies and Pixar

Broadway Melody of 1940

The Sting

Enchanted

Cinderella Man

All the Fred and Ginger movies, i.e. Top Hat, The Gay Divorcee, Carefree, Follow the Fleet, etc.

Born to Dance

Harvey

The Artist

Easter Parade

One Body Too Many

Topper Returns

Sense and Sensibility

Date Night

The Thin Man

The Ghost Goes West

The 39 Steps

Pirates of the Carribean

Sunshine Cleaning

Footsteps in the Dark

Mrs. Pettigrew Lives for a Day

Dancing Co-Ed

Casablanca

Singin' in the Rain

Inglourious Basterds

Jane Eyre (2011)

Fight Club

White Christmas

Midnight in Paris

Death on the Nile

An American in Paris

Rear Window

Beyond the Sea

Across the Universe

21

The Margaret Rutherford Miss Marple movies

The Grand Budapest Hotel

The Avengers (movie)

Anchors Aweigh

Chicago

The Apartment

The Zero Effect

Stranger Than Fiction

Won't Back Down

Begin Again

...and waaaaaaaaaaay too many others. Sorry. My list is seriously all over the map. Basically, if it has a great script and/or the entertainment value is top notch, it makes my list.

Favorite Crafts

Paper Dolls

Embroidery

Knitting

I strongly dislike when people destroy things that can never be replaced, such as old Victorian photographs. I actually hate that. Those are real people who have family somewhere and a history. Don't glue buttons on their eyes, forever blotting that part of history out. It's not clever or creative or cute. It's actually quite wrong.

Favorite Television

Jeeves and Wooster; The Rockford Files; The Avengers (Mrs. Peel rocks!); Maverick; Daredevil; Parks and Recreation; New Girl; Agatha Christie's Tommy and Tuppence (1980s); Avatar: The Last Airbender; The Legend of Korra; The IT Crowd; Get Smart; The Voice; Miss Fisher's Mysteries; Agents of Shield; The Great British Baking Show;

...and many more.

Random things that I love:

Snow White; Snail Mail; Washi Tape; Stationary; J-Pop; Vinyl and 78s (records); Playing Mario Kart; Geocaching; The Little Mermaid (Ariel); Tim Burton (earlier to mid); Picture Frames; Disney World; Charleston, SC; Theatre and film history; Vintage movie things (magazines); Old books; Borderlands; Dragon Age; Hats; Makeup; Nail Polish; Cute pencils; Baking; Cooking; Aprons; Taking Polaroids to send to friends; Swing and Ballroom dancing; Sushi; History; Travel; Antiques; Storybooks; Keys; Hello Kitty; Retro makeup and hairstyles; Stickers; Scrapbook Paper; Sentimental Circus; Tea; Embroidery Floss; Yarn; Pusheen, the Cat; 1920s; 1930s; 1940s; 1950s; Ukulele; Old Sheet Music; Vintage Lifestyle; Journals; Sketchbooks; Paints (Gouache, especially) and Pens.

Comment: Hello Jenny, thank you for your nice small tea "package"! It was fun unpacking! And I was very curious about the berryblossom white, so that I had to trie it already. You're right, it tastes much better for my tongue than the ingredients might imply. :)
Response: I'm so glad you liked it! I am sorry for this late response. I literally moved four times in one year and lost track! I hope you have been having a great year! :)
