I generally hate these ‘About Me’ pages on blogs, so I’ll keep mine short & sweet.

I grew up among the hills of West Virginia, but have since relocated to the Big Apple. I currently reside in Brooklyn and work in Manhattan at a PR agency. Media and pop culture are like crack for me and I soak up as much as I can on the daily.

Reality TV is both the bane of my existence and the heartbeat of my post-millennium survival. I can talk of Idols, Survivors and VH1 sluts for hours on end.

For me, this blog is a way to unite my interest in pop culture with stories about my own life and the crazy people that inhabit my circle of family and friends. Below is a visual recreation of my many personalities and mood swings.

Love the site? Hate the site? Want me to write about something in particular? I’d love to hear from you.
