Los Angeles

I’m a globetrotting, pen and ink loving LA woman doused in honey but oh so very raw, raunchy at my finest, and certainly straight up. I’m just as likely to quote Theodore Dreiser—&#8221;The old melancholy of desire&#8221;—as I am to rap to some Khia and tell you what to do to my neck and back. Of course, I love tacos. My mom still makes the best I’ve ever had. Actually, there was that one time in Mexico City that my stance on this matter nearly changed, but I got car sick and threw up in my cousin’s 1987 VW bug, so that taco de carnitas did not seem so tasty on the way out. Here’s to life: L’chaim!
