My Home Away From Home

The Simple Truth...

I’m Desi and I live in Tucson, Arizona with my new husband. I am a girly girl in every sense of the word and proud to be a lady. I believe being sexy does not consist of letting it all hang out but in true femininity.

I am an optimist to a fault and enjoy being happy.

I love driving around in my roadster with the top down listening to music and looking cute doing it. I love car shows and drag races.

I have lived everywhere so it’s hard to say where I am from, but most recently from New York.

English is not my first language, but at this point in my life you cannot tell. I speak Spanish, French, Italian and broken Portuguese

I love meeting new people and learning about them etc.

Hobbies:

I have so many hobbies that I can never truly say I am bored, and they range from the sublime to the extreme.

I have a wonderful studio where I spend most of my time. I draw and sketch every day, and paint just about weekly. I am also a sidewalk painter and truly enjoy it.

I also like to sew, and have designed and sewn several of my own pieces. I love doing reproductions of vintage pieces and adapting them to the modern day.

I also love writing, fiction, letters, horror, thank you notes, cards.

What I collect :

I collect oddities, but mostly vintage apparel and objects. I love Route 66 kitsch and Vegas kitsch.

My love for all vintage objects reminds me of simplicity.

My favorite thing to collect is purses. Lots and Lots of purses.

I also collect carnival glass. I have an unnatural fascination with carnivals and county/state fairs to be honest.

I also have a small but growing collection of vintage salt and pepper shakers, always on the lookout for more.

I also have a growing collection of beautiful stationary and pens. I love letter writing.

To relax I drive around in my roadster with the top down and listen to music singing at the top of my lungs in the middle of the desert.

I have a poodle named Wyatt, one named Leggz, and a wee three pound Chihuahua.

Some of my absolute favorites...a list which evolves

Colors: Black, Pink and RED lots and lots of RED.

Seasons: Fall

Flowers : Orchids

Clothes : I try to sew and wear modern reproductions of vintage apparel. I honestly dress more from the 1940’s era and love tailored jackets and pencil skirts etc. I still wear lined panty hose and fishnets and match my purse to my shoes. I keep my hair long and love to curl it and put it up in “up do’s.” I absolutely cannot stand unfeminine or unflattering shoes. I keep my nails long and lacquered red. I don’t leave the house without makeup, even if I am going to the Circle K

I will sacrifice style over comfort….that is what pain killers are for. ;)

What time period would you love to live in and why?1940’sand 50’s for dress. Post WWII is my favorite era. (Before 1965ish) I believe that true femininity lies in not showing it all and letting it all hang out there, but in being lady like. I go much out of my way to buy things that are tailored, classic, ladylike and feminine.

I believe in having exquisite manners, and in comporting oneself like a lady. Everything else should fall into place.

Fragrances : Chanel No. 5, Chanel No. 19, Coco Chanel, Maroc

Stores : Thrift Stores, Unique Boutiques.

Drinks : Martinis and Gin & Tonics and of course a great Iced Tea with Mint. Scorpions.

Foods/Restaurants : Italian food is my favorite, I love going to new restaurants trying new things. Supper clubs. Early bird specials in Vegas. Tiki Lounges!

Qualities in Men : Masculine men who know how to treat a lady and aren't afraid to get dirty and look under the hood of the car.

Who can you never forget: My Dad

Things I want to do before I die...

This is a tough question, as I really try to go after things I want to do and really have loved my life and can’t complain really.

I would love to buy and customize an Airstream Trailer and travel around the United States and see a lot of what makes this amazing country beautiful. Yosemite, Red Wood Forest, Devil’s Tower in Wyoming, Mount Rushmore. I would love to take the ultimate American Road Trip in my Airstream.
