ABOUT ME

I'm Michelle and recently moved to Arizona! I was born and bred on the West coast, loved & lived in NYC and HI but now live in the desert! I care about various social issues and enjoy meeting new people, dancing, trying new foods, venturing into small pubs, pretending that I can sing well, rooftop films, quirky theater, freak shows, comedy clubs, jazz clubs, generally being silly.

PHILOSOPHY
