i love... rock and roll, ice cream, photobooths, pirates, pulp art (especially hardboiled detectives and juvenile delinquents), robots, ninjas, dinosaurs, sledgehammers, cupcakes, cowboys (old timey ones), sideburns, pompadours, pompadourks, skulls, lucha libre, dia de los muertos, japanese baseball cards, tattoos (and tattoo images like nautical stars & sparrows), zines, cake decorating, bicycles (i have never driven a car!), sideshows, letterpress, underwood typewriters, popsicles, the 1931 world's fair, moustaches, kawaii, amigurumi, rube goldberg devices, steampunk aesthetic, pretend food, coffee, kitchen tools, art deco design, polka dots, hearts, apples, poppies, ice & snow, vintage advertising, old snapshots of strangers, typography, lightning bolts, anything that says TURBO...

i love cooking and baking. i am vegetarian and consider myself pretty health-conscious, but i absolutely adore julia child and paula deen, and if they tell me to dip something in butter, i will do it.

SWAP-CENTRIC USEFUL INFORMATION:
I AM REALLY ALLERGIC TO CINNAMON AND MOST PERFUMED/SCENTED THINGS. i thought just saying it would be enough but lately i am getting ill from opening my mail. PLEASE DON'T SEND ME ANYTHING CINNAMON. PLEASE.
my absolute favorite color is red, and i will collect completely random things just because they are red. red & white together is awesome, red & pink, red & black, red & turquoise... i like citrus flavors, vanilla, ginger, chocolate, cherry, sour things... i like things with pictures of sweets on them better than actually eating sweets. i speak english and portuguese but i love things like advertisements and art in other languages even if i can't read them.

i love handmade things and i think swapping, trading and bartering is the coolest.
