Hey! Reintroducing myself! -

Hey everyone! I joined couple years back but haven't interacted much, my bad! But now I'm ready to rock n roll, and hope to meet some cool people that I can chat with and help out with Adidas quests. Here's my old intro, a bit modified for new happenins, in hopes some of you remember me and a few more say hi:
I'm a Baltimore girl with serious love for ink, Adidas, and hardcore and metal (not necessarily in that order). I'm graphic designer by day, and do illustration, design, and block printing at night, mostly Mexican folk art and pet portraits. Frida Kahlo is my favorite artist. I fractured both my legs last year training for a marathon and had to lay around for 8 weeks. In my head, I was going to create great works of art from my bed, like frida did. In reality, i ate pain pills and watched Love and Hip Hop in Atlanta. I'm still disappointed in myself.
As far as my love of sneakers is concerned, I'm a bit of a whore, and have what i call the holy trilogy: Adidas, Vans, Puma (in that order).
Superstars are by far my favorite sneaker--right now, i only have around 8 pairs, but more are rapidly coming. My favorite pair i had to devise a scheme to get them from Adidas Canada because the bastards wouldn't ship to the US or accept US payments. I had to hunt down friends of friends that live in Canada and would help me out. The first guy agreed to do it for Big Red gum and a variety of flavored Mountain Dews (he got all giddy when i told him i just drank an orange one) but then he flaked. But my friend's sister totally rocked out and came through though, so now my Precious are sitting in my room waiting for a grand premiere (the weather has been iffy and wet here..no way am i rockin those girls with the threat of a Baltimore city puddle lurking).
I have a seven year old daughter that is learning to play the guitar and wants to "play like Rob Zombie and Motorhead." God, I'm proud.
I am still schooling her in sneakers, though. We were perusing some sneaker shops in the hood a while she pulled a pair of green Nikes off its stand and brought them to me "look mommy, I like these, the green is cool." The salesgirl came over right as i said "yes hon, the color's cool, but those are Nikes. Put those back. We don't wear Nikes in our house."
Hope to get to know some other Superstar lovers! Cheers!

Hi, thanks! Yea, my girl is a big Vans wearer..she loves the slip ons. She wants some Adidas but i told her she has to show more respect for her shoes before i get them. No jumpin in puddles and all that nonsense in some superstars!
