I became a parent at a young age. Now
that my youngest son is in college, I am
focusing on the next phase in my life. I
have adopted a "why not" philosophy,
meaning that if it is not going to cause
harm to me, anyone or anything else , I will
be open to it. My "why not" philosophy
and the desire to "live" life, not 'walk
beside it " as Cloris Leachman says, has
helped nurture my adventurous, freespirited soul. I have traveled a little,
including flying to Tanzania and hiking Mt.
Kilimanjaro, jumped out of a plane (once
and tandem of course), did a couple of zip
lines, crashed into some trees in a hot air
balloon, and spent a beautiful day on a
sailboat. I tried scuba diving, but it is not
for me. And I can't drive over big bridges
without having a panic attack. This makes
me laugh, except when I am on a bridge!
It is the "why not" mentality that led me to
Steampunk Chuck. I was drawn to his
images by his use of lighting and the way
his style embraced the woman as a whole
being; the feminine in the soft fabrics and
lighting, and the masculine in the use of
leather and metals. The strong poses
exude confidence and sexuality without
compromising integrity. It reminded me
of the female characters from movies like
Mad Max. They were so strong AND sexy.
At 42, I have learned that the yin and yang
of life has made me the person I am. I am
that strong and sexy woman! I am a
feminine, loving, vulnerable, creative
woman embracing my blessings and living
with passion and gratitude.
