    <about><![CDATA[I was born and raised in Southern California and I love reading, music, being lazy, enjoying a great meal and/or a great cocktail, and hanging out with my boyfriend, family, and friends.  Oh, and I also love to travel, even if it's just the weekend in Santa Barbara.  <br/><br/>If I could, I would live in San Francisco (although I do love LA!), and I would love to visit New York and Greece one day.<br/><br/><br/>I am in love with the Ritz cocktail at the Cheesecake Factory (Courvoisier, Champagne, Cointreau &amp; Pomegranate), the 1939 film version of The Women, the song &quot;This must be the place&quot; by Talking Heads, and I am always in love with vintage (especially 30's, 40's, and 50's) and Marilyn.<p><br/><img src="http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f189/unamexicana/greece.jpg" class="escapedImg"/><p><br/><img src="http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f189/unamexicana/chryslerNY.jpg" alt="Chrysler Building, NY" class="escapedImg"/><p><br/><img src="http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f189/unamexicana/redcocktail.jpg" alt="Ritz Cocktail" class="escapedImg"/><p><br/><img src="http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f189/unamexicana/thewomen.jpg" alt="The Women 1939" class="escapedImg"/><p><br/><img src="http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f189/unamexicana/vintagesofa.jpg" class="escapedImg"/><p><br/><img src="http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f189/unamexicana/mmreading.jpg" class="escapedImg"/><p><br/></p></p></p></p></p></p></p>]]></about>
