Favorite Fruit: I live my life akin to a cornucopia - bursting with seasonal treats that can be used both for practical reasons and for ornamentation. Although the pineapple has become the symbol of my work, a literal representation of my crazed hair to my long neck and childbearing hips, the pineapple has never been my go-to. I always fancied myself more of a papaya girl. Why? Who the hell knows. Me & FruitFlyLife: As editor and founder of FruitFlyLife, my existence is driven by a need to understand the pop idiom by way of the underground, and to realize this understanding through fruitful collaborations. I never stop consuming, writing or talking about culture and the ways in which we thrive within contemporary culture. This is my obsession, my drug..and FruitFlyLife is the realization of this lifetime of passion.
