random Q & As

so felt like answering some random Q & A questions [and I always enjoy reading the questions lol] 

Q: Your favorite ice cream flavor?
A: strawberry...but I love Jeni's ice cream so amazing!

Q: Your favorite cookie?
A: oatmeal and raisin....I also love those molasses cookies

Q: Favorite restaurant?
A: I don't really have one!! I do love Thai food because it is what I grew up eating a lot and Russian food so anyplace with those yea...I'm good and us Slavs love to eat :-p

Q: Do you feel more Native American or Slavic culturally?
A: good question!! I grew up with the influence of both and for me it is finding a balance but have to admit my Dad's genes are pretty strong in me LOL. I am definitely Eastern European personality wise in so many ways.

Q: You are songwriting again?
A: Yes. I began writing more after what happened with my brother; that whole experience and have been am still going through a bit and it is just my way of expressing all of those emotions. I write music to communicate sounds weird but always have and probably always will.

Q: There are musicians in your family...like alot?
A: Yes. My Mum and my brother both were musicians and even my eldest sister plays the acoustic guitar exceptionally well so yea we've been surrounded by music all our lives and are passionate about it in some form or another.

Q: so Romeo + Juliet you already explained the story behind it?
A: yes, I basically wrote it because I saw someone going through something I went through not too long ago and could somewhat relate and telling him to be strong, he will make it through and people do see and listen...hear his story.

Q: Who is Craig Smith?
A: he is a long time friend and mentor in music he and I collaborate often and the inside joke is that he is Neil Gaiman and I am Tori Amos. You know, some random guy she mentions in songs haha. No, but he has been an amazing mentor music wise and is quite talented himself so I feel grateful for his friendship over the years.

Q: Dating...what kind of guys?
A: I know I mentioned wouldn't discuss personal stuff but I would have to date someone whom I admire and have the utmost respect for, also someone who challenges me meaning makes me push myself in some way or another. Also someone who is humble and down to Earth and honest/genuine. Someone who is kind and generous and most definitely a wicked sense of humour. I have a big sense of humour and he would definitely have to be able to laugh...like for long periods of time.That is one thing I know I inherited from my Mum her quirky British humour so yea. 

Q: Thoughts on burlesque and performing and being recognized?
A: Well, it was just something I splunked into pretty much, being a dance kid many of my friends started getting into it I would go watch them perform and so finally just went into it. I am not big on going nude which was my own personal decision for various reasons and yea recently was recognized. I had someone fangirl me...it was the coolest yet interesting moment thus far; I will always see myself as just a girl who is chasing dreams and living life to the fullest.

Q: Maturing and performing?
A: yea, it is hard. I have grown quite a bit between then and now. I am still learning not perfect but that is the purpose of life we learn from our mistakes, but as far regrets go I have none whatsoever. Probably the only regret I do have is I wish could have more time with my parents and brother. But yea, people tell me "oh you're young, blah blah" yea but it's still quite a bit and what affects me may not affect someone else and vice versa we all have our scars from life though.
