Being a Bit Aud

Folks have inquired several times about who and what I am as a person outside of the realm of photography, DA, modeling and all that. I thought it was a fun thing to discuss and share so here is a bit of an insight on what it is like to be Aud.


First and foremost I am a geek. I play glamor girl quite well on camera but in real life I am 100% geek. The glasses are very real, the sarcasm and cynicism are very real too. I love my stilleto heels but I also love my Doc Martens and fishnets and other weird and whimsical attire. I am a thinker and I loathe complacency, mediocrity, and general stupidity. I cannot stand people like Paris Hilton or those loathsome Kardashan Kows. No I am not jealous of them or their vapid lifestyle of self indulgent silliness I simply cannot stand empty, obnoxious, self obsessed people.

I am totally in love with Audrey Tautou. She is a beautiful, hyper-talented, and oddball recluse. She is my ideal of perfection and I love that we share the same first name and heritage. I also adore Emily Blunt. People think I am weird because the only living male actor I have ever had a crush on is Anthony Hopkins.

I drink coffee all the time. I used to smoke like a chimney but have since seriously cut back.I love cloves and I LOVE cigars. In the morning  I actually drink coffee from a bowl, that is how we do it in certain parts of France. The smoking? Well I love and miss the taste but I cant stand what it does to the skin and the body. Coffee stays with me forever, not giving that divine habit up. Luckily the medics now say it is good for you.

I read alot, I barely watch TV, I love to travel, see new places and meet interesting new people and discover their cultures and customs. I am married to an equally geeky mad scientist who is my absolute partner in crime. We have a ton of fun together one of the byproducts of which is this page and these photos.

I am not a fan of 99.9% of music after 1955. Give me the big bands and the jazz greats but not the Rock and Roll. I just dont get it and never have.  Rap and hip hop I completely DO NOT get. As a child I was not all that socially adept or popular. I was the ostracized, long, gangly, bespectacled girl with a general disdain for school aged cliquishness. I am still very much a recluse and have only a few actual friends or accquaintances. I am a feminine feminist in the classic, flapper sense but not the angry wild eyed Birkenstock wearing 60s sense.  I LOVE women and girls. I actually prefer being called a girl over "WOMAN". I think girls are cute, sweet, and pretty. The word "woman" to me denotes someone older, more solidly built and kind of matronly and stoic. Oh ad it has the word "MAN" in it. I dont want to be associated with being a "Wo"( whatever the f that is?) to a Man. I am a girl and I plan on beng one as long as possible.

In life I am an artist, a model, a muse, a girl with a strange knowledge of all things medical and biological fused with the creative instinct of a painter and designer. I design and sew my own clothing and may one day model some of it here. I am not very religious at all but I do believe in the possibility of a higher power I just dont think he/she has a gender and looks like an old Middle Eastern sky man from 2000 years ago. My logic and my ability to use that frontal lobe disallows me to believe in gray haired skymen with severely dated 2000 year old fashion and 6,000 year old planets designed to be some testing ground for a passport to the afterlife.

Speaking of vintage fashion, I LOVE all things Victorian through early 50s. I think the style of the 60s is scientific proof of the de-evolution and destruction of human aesthetics (we have been in an exponentially accelerating tail slide since) I worship Coco Chanel for her timeless fashion and elegance which survived and transcended the abhorent era of "flower power" with elegance and strength.

I have a total fascination with body piercing and tattoos. I totally believe in the power of these things as something spiritual that allows us to reconnect with our bodies and to feel alive.

I think I have mild OCD and have too keen of a sense of smell. I love Chanel perfume and clothing. I am neat freak in some areas and a bit of a disheveled mess in others. I loathe body hair and think feet and foot fetishes are kind of gross. I am good at psycho analyzing people and can yield freakishly accurate data when I put my mind to it. Sometimes it makes people cringe and meltdown ( be afraid be very afraid)  I do this all with a cute accent and while wearing cute clothes and my beloved glasses. I am a girlie girl with a geeky soul.

So thats what it is like to be a little bit Aud

XOXOXOXOXO
