I was a peculiar kid. I definitely didn’t fit in and was attracted to what would be considered odd for a young child. I had a pixie haircut like Twiggy and I loved anything mod, unique, different and stylish.

The teen years – everything I loved was fashion, music or art. I loved Rock ‘n Roll, glam rock, punk rock and post punk. I went from wearing high-waisted pants with platform shoes like the Runaways or David Bowie with a shag haircut to ripped t-shirts with safety pins, skin tight jeans with pointy shoes and bleached blonde hair. My Idol was Debbie Harry.

Still punk but always mixing in some vintage, tulle skirts from the 50s, pointy 50s–60s shoes that I would buy at a store in Queens that sold dead stock vintage shoes with ankle socks and lots of accessories. I would go from blonde to red to black hair – like Siouxsie Sioux – and always back to red.

Mostly a redhead at this point but sometimes switching back to my black or blonde. Always wearing Vintage but definitely wearing more black. My favorite look from this time was babydoll dresses with combat boots and ripped fishnets – very Courtney Love.

At this point I have incorporated every style that I love, still wearing all of it depending on my mood, but I will always favor the style of the 1960s. I love teasing my hair up really big and wearing a 1960s dress with big eyelashes like Amy Winehouse.
