In the beginning...
I was one of three children and, as luck would have it, I was the only girl who also happened to be the middle child. (hehe) I was born and raised in a small town called Okmulgee, Oklahoma. My brothers and I oftentimes found ourselves using our imagination at home alot since there really wasn't anywhere to go and not many people to hang out with that got us. However, I grew up in the 80's so there definitely wasn't a lack of things that inspired me. Watching JEM!, Transformers, G.I. Joe, He-man, ALF, Count Duckula, Rainbow brite(the list goes on and on), playing my NES and watching WWF with my dad ruled my whole world as a kid.

The big move...
My family then decided to move to California-- leaving the snow for some sunshine. I grew up getting involved in anything that interested me-- book clubs, bands, dance groups and took up odd jobs doing makeup at local malls while going to school for business. I took up jobs in various spas in Napa teaching and doing makeup as well. In my search for creative freedom, I took a chance and started taking classes at Paul Mitchell, Toni and Guy in London and Tokyo, Japan for schooling in advanced styling and such. I have had the honor and chance to work along side many amazing artists who inspired me to find my own sort of art. After spending a lot of time contemplating and figuring out what makes me happy, it occurred to me that I wanted to be inspired like I was when I was younger. To be creative and to get my hands dirty and create things at all costs. It is this thinking that has led me here to where I am today. You may ask, with such a strange set of influences, what kind of person am I? Well, if I had to describe myself in a few short words, it wouldn't be "stylist, model, nerd, gamer junkie, etc" but moreso the girl who refuses to never stop dreaming.~

How did you get your name?
In 2005, I was working on a makeup line with my cousin in London and wanted to name it VampBeauty. Things didn't pan out as I am in the bay and it was in London. However, it is still a dream of mine to have my own makeup line. Since then, I've really been into all things dark, like vampires and such. My friends started calling me Vampy and it kinda stuck with me ever since.

What are your favorite colors?
RED, black and white.

Do you like to travel?
I am quite intrigued by how others live and their way of life and I love learning about new cultures so it's always fun to go abroad.

What countries have you been to? Which are your favorites?
I have been fortunate enough that my career has taken me all over Europe, the Middle East, Japan and other parts of Asia. My three favorites have to be Transylvania, Israel and Qatar -- all very different places. I've always wanted to go to Romania and got to see it so now I can die happy.

How would you describe your look?
I'm into extremes. Whether it be really evil, cute, high fashion or natural, I don't think I have just one look. I guess it just depends on how I feel and my mood at the time.

What are your major influences?
Music really drives me. I can wake up to a song or music and I'll know exactly what to do with my look for that day. My biggest influences here are #METAL and Bjork. However, I also like a lot of music from Japan as well.

Robots or Zombies?
zombie woebot.

Do you have pets?
I have tons of dogs. I love all kinds of pets and animals though.

What is your favorite word?
awkward!
