I want to express my appreciation to @25901jfm for always being so supportive, and including me in this questionnaire. Allowing others, to get to know me, even better 😉. Thanks for your patience, as I've been dealing with some personal issues. Like a migraine lasting over 45 days. Making it a challenge to keep up with blog posts.
1. Height? 5'7"
2. Virgin? No
3. Do you smoke? I only smoke medicinal cannabis. I do have my license to do so. I dislike cigarettes and the smell of the smoke from them.
4. Do you drink? No. Unfortunately, I deal with chronic migraines. I make up for it with medicinal. Which, is much healthier for me.
5. Age mistaken for? You tell me 😉...usually 26 yrs old.
6. Any tattoos? I have over 41 hours of custom tattoo work. Visible in my sets. Currently there are 8 hopeful sets under Reggielove. One fun thing is, I can easily cover up my tattoos. I have also had my tattoos mistaken for clothes, because the color is so vibrant. I do have multiple of tattoo still planned. I started getting tattoos when I was 18yrs old, and it hasn't stopped. I actually fall asleep during tattoo work. I should mention I live with chronic pain, so I think I have a high pain threshold. I have my custom tattoos done by someone I have known since I was 11yrs old. We went through school together. He is very popular. So it's hard to get in with him. I am on a wait list. He always prefers to remain unnamed.
7. Any piercings? I had my belly button pierced multiple times. I no longer have it pierced. I currently have daith piercings. Which are inside my ears, on migraine pressure points. I also have traditional ear piercings on both sides. Although the daith earrings are the only ones I leave in all of the time. I have another special double piercing planned.
8. Best friends? Currently, my fur babies. Always offering companionship and unconditional love. My childhood friend, from elementary-high school, still remains an important friend in my life. My friend from a former work experience, will always be a bestie, regardless of where we are in our lives. Typically growing up, I was friends with most people, unless they gave me a reason not to. Although, I always had more guy friends. Now, I also consider some of this community, as insta-friends. So some things haven't changed, there. 😉💋
9. A fact about my personality? I'm extremely tenacious! Regardless, of what has occurred in my life, and health. I do my best to remain positive, hopeful, determined, kind-hearted, and focus on what I can do as opposed to what I can't. I always describe myself as an anomaly. For one example I was a teacher, turned tattoo model, after health issues removed me from the classroom. I never imagined myself modeling. @rambo recruited me, allowing me to empower myself again.
10. What career did you choose when you were a child? I knew in elementary school that I wanted to be a teacher. Although my reasoning changed over the years. When I was 5, it was because they got to write on chalkboards. Which are now obsolete. I went on to receive 2 degrees in education. I adored working in a classroom setting. Unfortunately, my health had other plans. So, I choose to focus on the positive. I am grateful to have this as a creative outlet, that allows me to embrace my sensuality. Like I mentioned, I am an anomaly. On so many levels. Smart and sexy, as many of us are.
11. Where would I like to be right now? Location: In an ideal world. In Italy, visiting family. It would be a beautiful country for shoots also. I may not be able to walk a runway. Aside from my height of 5'7". For those of you who don't know I'm a stroke survivor, deal with chronic migraines, and nerve damage pain..so to be there pain free and healthier, would be ideal....and walking hand in hand with my Nonnie, as we did in 2000. I know I'm making this quite the ideal situation. Unfortunately, my Nonnie aka grandmother, is on her death bed. I'm trying to focus on positive memories, and hope she passes peacefully. It's hard to not be by her side.
If I wasn't dealing with my health issues. I would probably have my doctorate, in education, and be teaching on some level.
Getting back into what I can do...I'd continue to push the limits of my handicapable body. With the desire to turn in additional sets. Hopefully becoming an Official SG in 2020. Something I've worked hard for since my first set dropped in 2017. I'd also like to learn and grow within the industry, since teaching seems outside of my reach. I desire to be in print someday...wishful thinking, I know. I also have a camera, and would like to learn to shoot myself, and others. I live in a very conservative area, and find it a challenge to find Safe, and non-judgmental photographers locally. So hopefully someday, I can offer a safe environment for other women to embrace, and empower themselves.
Once I'm able to, hopefully I can also return to extra work in acting. Which again, I find to be another learning experience. My journey in life has been a very unique one, and gives me a different perspective, on some issues. I miss teaching everyday. As I said, I'm grateful to be part of this community. I greatly appreciate any and all support shown. Recognizing my abilities, and hard work, despite being a handicapable pain warrior! "Pain warrior", is another tattoo I have. Can you find it in my sets, on my canvas?
I'd like to do more to help those in my community, including our four-legged friends. I also worked high end retail for a number of years, and would like to open a store someday....sorry what was the question?!?! lol. I have a lot of hopes and dreams. Hopefully someday, I'll experience a pain and symptom free day again, that would be a blessing. It has been ongoing, since 2002. It's a good thing, that I'm tenacious!!
