KSENiA

Hello. my name is Ksenia. =^x^= I was born in Russia, Moscow. When I was 14 my family moved to Israel. Curently I live in Tel Aviv area. I am a painter / IT operator. I have BFA in arts from Bazalel Academy of Art and Design. I love painting and drawing a lot, but I love my job too. Once I thought computors and art have nothing in common. Now I know it's not true.

I have very eclectic taste... I enjoy contemporary art and character design. When I'm traveling aboard I will go to at least 10-15 galleries and all of the museums. I'm a big fashion geek... I'm crasy about shoes! I love all kind of music: pop, j-pop, j-rock, indie, folk, goth and metal. All together! but not classics... Currently most played: The Pierces Discography, Last Exile OST and Neon Bunny - Happy Ending.

I love to cook! I like Japanese, Chines, Indian, Mexican and French foods. ( I'm not so much into baking thougth) I could live on Eggs and Sushi... I love Strawberries and drink my Tea with Milk. My latest food-addiction is raw Oysters, delicious little things!

I read mostly fantasy books and watch SiFi movies and tv shows. (I almost never watch dramas, but I do like good funny comedies and Kdramas are my guilty pleasure). Currently I read American Gods/Orlando and watch 2 Broke Girls, New Girl, Hart of Dixie, Cougar Town, Grimm and Person of Interest, Ergo Proxy - re-watch. Last movie I really liked: Oblivion.

I love opera and ballet.

I go to Zoos a lot! I love pandas and lemurs :)

Kawaii- is state of mind! I adore Japanese street fashion and I'm in love with Japanese products and sweets.

I have a cat - a black cat, her name is Kitty. She is the Master of our home! =^x^=

I like anime and cosplay; once a year for Purim I make one adorable character, one I can relate to. This year (well, THIS year it was NOT adorable, not adorable at all) I cosplayed Silent Hill Nurse. ( Past ones : Nadia from First Squad, Pino from Ergo Proxy, Konata Izumi from Lucky Star, Dejiko from Di Gi Charat, Chii from Chobits, Delirium from Sandman)

I'm addicted to Poupeegirl and Flickr...

• IMPORTANT: I will always always sent my swaps. Israely post works as best as it can, but it may take time. If anything goes wrong - please contact me! Also I will always rate you and give you my heart. Anyone who invests in - some thought and creativity with regard to ones preferences - deserves it.

By the way - not rating someones effort or not saying simple "Thank you" is just RUDE! (I checked it takes only 5 sec to type 8 letters, but it feels so nice)
