Profile

Please drop me a note if you’d like me to friend you… I WILL delete unknown requesters.

More about me and tons of pics at http://www.myspace.com/prisbatty (http://www.myspace.com/prisbatty)



I am LYSDEXIC, and don’t always to take the time to use a spell checker. Please don’t hold it against me. (When one must choose between checking ones spelling or grammar, and making sure the toddler hasn’t set himself on fire… well… yah dig?)

I am an artist and costumer. (Evidence of this can be found in my pics.)

The above-mentioned are two more reasons why spelling and grammar aren’t my forte.

I am currently taking time off from being an artist and costumer to work on my true Masterwork, MY BEAUTIFUL SON. (Evidence of my son can be found everywhere.)

Spiritually, I call myself a Taoist-pagan. I have since I was 13… in the early 80s. Which means, I am officially PUSHIN 40. (Don’t hold that against me either… I’m fine with it… REALLY.) ANYWAY. I am a tree huggin pagan type. (Not wiccan, but share many of those beliefs.)

I believe strongly in the community and our responsibility to each other, WHICH BEGINS WITH HOW WE REAT EACHOTHER ON OUR HOMES.

Personally I am a lifestyle Goth and have been walking this path since the mid 80s. I cant give you an exact date as it took me a while to 'get over' the whole "You cant label me" teen angst thing... but I can tll you I was a proud owner of the 'bat cave comp' the year it came out... back when we called it 'dark punk.' It amazes me that the darker side of that scene is what remains so strong today.

But back to ART. I have a degree in Illustration and design. But it didn’t hold my interest. I dabble in that from time to time with various projects of no great measure…

HOWEVER

I never outgrew the love of playing DRESS UP. Which brings me back around to my love of COSTUME.

My real art form is the art of personal illusion. Historical, anachronistic or accurate, Fantasy or Theatrical. You name it. I love it. I have been a participating member of the S.C.A. (society for creative anachronism) since 1991. My heart is closer to American Victoriana or European Restoration than any other era.

I have worked in professional costume houses, in the fetish fashion industry, for theatre, and as a stylist… I can do makeup… But PLEASE don’t ask me to do hair. I SUCK at hair.

YES, I am a creature of vanity… I own over 100 pairs of shoes, mostly black, and many boots above the knee. I collect vintage clothes purses and gloves. I needed a semi to move my accessories collection alone. (Previous to spawning, it was not unusual for me to take four hours getting dressed for an event, after planning the outfit for a week…) but don’t hold that against me.

I have been admonished for excessive use of glitter HOWEVER

I am also a relatively pragmatic down to earth hippie who will spend three days off in the same outfit, I obsessively recycle, I eat as organically as I can afford, (And am doubly careful with my son’s diet) and I am aware that antiperspirant will eat my brain. I’m NOT a vegetarian, so I wont bug you to turn to tofu… but I may bug you about your mindless habit of using a straw when you hit the fast food joint. (…The average American could fill three industrial sized trash bags with the straws they use in a lifetime, which will sit in a landfill, which just ISN’T necessary. Think about it. SEE?… )

That’s me in a nutshell. I don’t expect to update this bio any time soon. (It took me two years to get around to taking the time to make myself appear to be THIS interesting.)

And now I need to go to bed. (PS: I love to cook… am a sit com/ sci fi junkie… love abba… and… )
