I take New York city walks at dusk, drink cocktails, dress fly and dance all night long to pumpin' hip hop beats. I'll do anything that makes me laugh or involves coffee; I speak french and I have a secret passion for floral arrangements. If you want even more of me then check out my blog, TheCoolKidList or Follow me on Twitter. Holler at ya girl!Recent Posts by this author
