Name three things about yoursef that we don't know.

[cdn2wheeler]

1. I spent a short time at nearly 170 km/hr yesterday on my motorcycle. Shared the bejeezuz outta me!
2. Used to be a drummer in a rock band. Not any more, I don't even play for enjoyment anymore
3. I've been, quite literally, around the world, starting and ending in the same place after having done the entire global circuit.

[Zukin]

1. I have helped hundreds of people across the world start small businesses by providing microloans.
2. I have paid for eye surgery to help more than 30 people gain the gift of sight.
3. I once met the guy who played Dr. Chaotica on Star Trek: Voyager and he called me incredibly tasteless for something I did (and I'm not telling what it was!)

[Halcyon]

1. I was in the military from age 17 to 21
2. Im divorced
3. I have large tribal tattoos on my left arm on my hand and neck and a little on my back... they kinda flow together.

huh... this was kinda therapeutic. It felt really good to "tell someone" something about me they didnt know. Ive made a habit of not letting anyone near me whatsoever... to the point that I go and make friends and in a position where everyone knows who I am and then just suddenly "disappear" and not answer anyones calls and/or move and change my number....and name...and style...

But Im really changing all of that now. Im choosing to not run away from myself and everyone else anymore.

[Max Power]

1. Most people think I'm a man
2. I've been in prison (12 years, Wacol)
3. I'm actually God

[Michael Chui]

1. I (used to) play the piano.
2. I want desperately to fly, but I've never dreamed it and remembered.
3. I've been working on the same set of novels for nearly 10 years.

[Livgivare]

1) My given name comes from a crush my mother had on a 40 year older conductor that used to conduct the Orchestra she liked to listen to as a teenager. His last name was Lee
2) My favourite all time movies is Casablanca, I've seen it 80 times or even more then that.
3) I love new student's note pads and spacial intelligent peices of furniture that keep loads of things in them.

Well, don't know if those were very funny but that is me in short!

Love Leelene

[Angela]

I have a tiny vestigial second tongue, hidden underneath the main one. My brother does, too.

Steve Martin once pushed me into a ditch on my birthday. It was his birthday, too. His lunch date reached out just in time and caught me mid fall and saved me from probable death and certain messiness.

I'm closely related to both Mark Twain and Fidel Castro, but I've never met either.

[NotesMaeve]

1) I have a beauty mark on my left thigh. My niece has the exact same mark.

2) I have never said no to a free ice cream cone, greyhound (the dog or the drink), or teeshirt.

3) I once flirted with Umberto Eco, but another famous semiotician ruined my chances by pointing out I was a minor.

[Lola]

1. I was in the ER for stitches five times by the age of seven. (Daredevil Tomboy!) Only two scars remain visable, one of which is the Batman scar - a 24-stitcher along my left bicep - the result of racing the length of the basement and crashing through (literally - THROUGH) the back door. I was wearing a cape and my brother's Batman briefs (the boys always got the cool underwear). And yes. We were singing the Batman song.

2. I have a ticklish spot right in the middle of my back.

3. I was born in the same county as Jesse James. The outlaw Jesse. Not the West Coast Chopper Jesse.

[torilink]

1. I was adopted. My adoptive parents took me home from the hospital at 3 days old, the state thought they were too old to adopt and were attempting to take custody of me away from them when.......

2. I was kidnapped - My adoptive parents left in the middle of the night with only our clothes, took me across state lines and at one point hid me from the authorities, they fought for many years and racked up some tremendous debt fighting the State for their right to adopt me.

3. I drink coffee constantly, even right before bed. The caffeine has no effect on me, I can fall off to sleep in under 5 min after drinking a pot of coffee.

As a prisoner or guard? If as a prisoner, may I ask what the charges were?

[Lisa McGregor]

1. I'm a sportswear designer (CorelDRAW)
2. I'm passionate about everything to do with food (would have become a chef if the hours were not so wierd) - my parents had a seafood restaurant and our whole family was totally involved.
3. I'm a Leo married to a Pisces. Fabulous combination.

[Rose of Cairo]

Lisa, if you're a sportswear designer, you can draw some bodyshapes can't you???

[Lisa McGregor]

Yes, why do you ask?

[Rose of Cairo]

yesssss!!!

I have a few clothes in my head I'd like to create. You know, nowadays clothes are designed for tall, thin, not-so-curvy women. When you're small, not-so-thin and very curvy like me, you have a hard time finding something you don't look awful in.

For instance they always forget to leave space for the boobs! When you have big boobs, every t-shirt and pullover is too small for you. So you have to take an XXL to put your boobs in there, and this XXL thing will hang on you like a tent, hiding your small waist and making you look like a barrel. Of course you can buy some stretch materials, but sometimes I'd like to wear some loose-fitting, comfortable clothes too, without looking like a barrel

And it's more than that, it's that all these clothes are made for other lines than ours. I'm not a designer, but it's obvious that there are shapes, lines that are perfect for tall, thin women, but not at all for small, chubby women. Even if a shirt has the right size for me, if it's designed for a tall, thin woman, it won't look optimal on me. Necklines for example, play a huge role, or the bottom line, or the form of the sleeves, and also where you put the general emphasis of a piece of clothing. You know what I mean?

So every time I have to buy new clothes, which I hate, I begin to think about clothes I'd like to create for women like me so that they look great the way they are. And with beautiful colors too, I find the current colors dreadful! I'd like women to feel good about their body, instead of feeling ugly and inadequate every time they find themselves abandoned in a fitting room.

Over time a few clothes were created like this in my head, and now I'd like to have this clutter out of there

Unfortunately I cannot draw Really, I tried to learn it, but it just looks like I've done it with my feet. So I thought, if someone could just draw a few bodyshapes for me, maybe I could dress them Well, I could try. And then, find someone who can sew, which I can't at all either, and show him these pictures and ask him to make these clothes.

You get it? Would you draw a few bodyshapes for me??

[Lisa McGregor]

Sure, not a problem. Send me a PM with your email address and I'll send you some sketches next week. Sort of like paper dolls that you can dress up. I'll send them as a PDF file and you can print out as many as you like.

If you find a good dressmaker, he or she can take your measurements and create a basic block of your body, top and bottom and then work from that.If you show them a sketch or photograph of what you want they can work from that. You'll have a stunning wardrobe in no time.

best wishes
Lisa
