Just for a rough outline ...I was born and raised in New Orleans, I lived in Boston for a dozen years after college, and then for a year in Japan before I moved to Milwaukee, where I met my husband. Now we're thrilled to be back in New Orleans, along with the six wonderful kitties featured in my albums. :) Now for my fragrance-bio. I've loved perfume all of my life, literally as far back as I can remember; one of my first memories is of my mother kissing me goodnight before my parents went out for the evening ...a Chanel No5-scented memory. I started my own collection when I was about three years old with Tinkerbell sets and the Avon novelty perfumes for little girls, but I was always aware of "proper" perfumes and I'd get into whatever my perfumista mother had on her vanity, as well as my grandmothers', aunts', family friends' ...all vanities were fair game! Before too long I wanted and was requesting real perfume - I adored minis and especially those varied mini collections that my parents would bring home for me when they traveled. My first "grown-up" perfume I recall loving was Chamade. I was six yrs. old then, and my passion just blossomed from there. I had quite a collection by the time I hit my teens, and it's been growing and evolving ever since. |
| Interests (Hobbies, favorite activities, etc.): |
