AZURE

AGE RANGE: 50s-ish

LOCATION:

ZODIAC: Gemini

ABOUT ME:
I am an Audio Describer for the theatre - it's a cross between live broadcast and poetry, enabling blind audience members to better appreciate the scene unfolding on stage. I also take films and film professionals into schools. I live in Southampton England and have paid many enjoyable visits to the States - New York, Colorado, Los Angles, Texas.

MY STYLE:
I would describe my style as 'Euro Chic' - I love the clean tailored taupe look of Armani, which I try to interpret with high street purchases! I also love the classic American 'Sportswear' look - e.g. Donna Karan, Calvin Klein, classic Bill Blass and of course Isaac! But being somewhat dramatic at times, I love to brighten things up with stand out colours - fuchsia, burnt orange and turquoise are among my favourites.
