Description from Smoky Rose: This is me: I have dark blonde/lt brown hair, tinged with a bit of red, which is to my waist. I've always worn it long. My eyes are green. I'm a cat person. I've had cats since about the age of 10, and hope to always have cats. I've been creative since old enough to hold a crayon. I consider myself 'functionally-feminine' - I'm a girly-girl. I don't leave the house without make-up. My nails are long enough to be feminine, short enough to be functional. When not in jeans, I generally wear skirts - being tall, I have the worst time finding pants that fit properly.
I love dark tones of grey, plum, green, brown - but am also a pink girl and periwinkle. I love putting pearls with opaque semi-precious - again, kinda the feminine meets functional. A rock hound, my favorite gem is Demantoid Garnet. I was born in Chicago, raised in her western suburbs, but am transplanted in the Philly area. I love the Southwest - for many reasons. I don't want to claim my job more stressful than others' - but it is stressful. I continue to do it, because I love it, despite being in a slump presently. The hospital I work in is situated in parkland - which is full of squirrels. I call them my therapy squirrels and love to take a break from the madness, grab a handful of peanuts and go 'see the kids' - it always makes me smile. That's pretty much me, in a nutshell.
