If I have one thing perfect, it's my eyebrows. And my feet. I love my feet. They're like Japanese feet. The rest I would like to hide. Especially my freckles. I feel ridiculous.

My parents sent me to Montreal because I kept getting kicked out of school in France.

I dream about singing. I would love to sing and write.

My looks mean nothing to me. If anything, they are a hindrance.
