I grew up in Massachusetts with quite a few moves around the east coast.  I had an interesting family life; both of my parents got married and divorced several times (to different people) and I happily ended up with my aunt just before my 9th birthday.  From there on I had a pretty normal life; grew up with my Aunt, Uncle and two cousins.  My Dad still was around; he was a Police Officer and therefore had crazy schedules (which is one of the reasons why I lived with my Aunt) but he was still a huge part of my life.      I always had alot of hobbies.  I was in competitive dance classes since I was young, winning several national championships in both Tap and Jazz so Dance has always been a big part of my life.  I also read alot and even did my own writing; my first poem was published when I was in 8th grade in a national publication.  When I got into high school I got more involved in the arts; Chorus, Show Choir, Theatre, Marching Band and Color Guard.  Was even the Captain of the Color Guard all while still competing nationally in Dance.  Busy times!      After high school graduation I went into the military.  Yep.  United States Army Military Police Corps.  Went to Ft. McLellan, AL and then onto Camp Casey, Korea.  Korea was an interesting time; hellish to go thru workwise but FANTASTIC for dating.  For every one american woman there was 200+ american men.  Heehee.  Fun times.  Need to get some of those pics on-line soon; I was blonde!      Back in the states after active duty, I got involved with the Boston Rocky Horror cast; The Full Body Cast.  For the next 8 years that was pretty much my world.  Met most of my friends thru Rocky and eventually moved to Boston proper with a few of them.  This is also when I *really* started costuming.  I had gotten my first sewing machine when I was 13; I asked for a leather jacket for christmas and got a sewing machine instead.  Ah well, it worked out in the end!  Made my first costume in High school; I was a belly dancer in one of the school plays.  When I joined Rocky I started making all my own costumes for Columbia.  Then Magenta.  From there I started making costumes for other people.  I also did alot of Medieval 'roleplaying' which introduced me to the wonders of corsets and gowns.  And it just went on from there.
