ART!!





I manufacture leather fashion items. I made this bag, from soft leather. It works nicely, but you have to have strong hands. I got those from gymnastics and dance.

I like all kinds of art, from classic middle ages stuff, through the impressionists, like Mary Cassatt and Berthe Morisot, to the symbolists and the surrealists like Miro, and if I had to pick a favourite painting, I would only be able to get it down to three!

I made this harness outfit, and it is a standard request I get now from clients/customers:

Examples of the leatherwork I do Alcochete, my hometown..



Manoel II



In performing shows, we often worked with snakes! Yes, I can bend over backwards with my heels and palms on the ground, flat. I have a very supple back, from years of gymnastics and ballet.










Lots of photos I have were taken by my ex-boyfriend Alexandre, who now works as a professional, but who was a member of our performance group. Others were taken by another ex boyfriend, Robert. For those who are obsessed with pussies...

Music

I love the piano, the violin, and the clarinet. I only play the piano! My favourite classical composers are numerous, Mozart (of course), Bruckner, Moussorgsky, Liszt, Chopin, Grieg, Schubert, Beethoven, Schumann, Shostakovich, Ravel, Faure, Adam, and Sibelius.. Modern popular music, I have a liking of the Nineties Grunge movement, and especially the bands Soul Asylum, Soundgarden and Pearl Jam. I play music in my unit when I am creating my leather fashion items to order. It helps my concentration, the flow of the day is almost dependant on the music I play.

I like traditional music too, some from my homeland Portugal that has a quite unique flavour.









Tiberias.

Movies

I have Netflix I have family here, in Galilee, some not far from Golan, although with Israel being so narrow as a country, there aren't great distances anywhere, unless you're walking!



I love shopping trips to Paris!

Television

I have Prime



The apartment block in Hertford.





I have been a performer rather than a viewer in the audience!

Books

I have a great interest in metaphysics.

Books are wonderful adventures. You can take them anywhere, leave it on the beach and no one will steal it while you're in the sea. You can learn from them, much more than is currently on the internet. Books have served man for two thousand plus years. The internet, has been around how long? You don't need electricity with a book!





Gazing through the window, watching the world go by, is a favourite past-time, even when I am home. There's always someone moving around, distracting you..

The divisions of the lands of Israel, by tribes. Glock17

Armalite AR10 = this and the Glock my Dad taught my sister and me to use. Issachar, my forebear, I'm told.

Heroes

Golda Meir!





Friends are my heroes too!

Bring the hostages home!

The iconic Che! Theodor Herzl, as a child with his sister.
