Me, sexy? I'm just plain ol' beans and rice.

I grew up in a family where we weren't allowed to talk about beauty or to put any emphasis on physical appearance.

I was a child of the women's movement. Everything I had learned was from my mother and my grandmother, who both had a very pioneering spirit. They had to, because they had to change flat tires and paint the house - because, you know, the men didn't come home from the war or whatever else, so women had to do these things.

Thats what I crave that diversity.

I'm an Air force Brat and I've lived all over the world and this country and there were people in my community who were gay - nurses, hairdressers, designers - people who just had a different way about themselves.

I really hate to see abusive behavior being passed on from generation to generation to generation, when we have access to health and counseling.

Sometimes I'm angry, sometimes I'm not angry.
