I want to do things so wild with you that I don’t know how to say them. —Anais Nin

Hi. I'm Kate.

Welcome to my nook of the internet - I'm tickled you found me!

Where do I start...?

I'm a PNW girl; I used to refer to myself as a yankee, but that’s not entirely accurate. While I have deep ties to the east coast, I actually grew up in the lush, Pacific Northwest - on a farm and horse ranch, no less - and made my pilgrimage to Austin just over a decade ago. (12 years in this magical city, I’m two-shades shy of a local - almost.) I spent most of my formative years in pointe shoes and lounging on tree branches, my nose nestled in a book. I love to learn and dedicated my 20s to chasing higher education - the fruit of which has secured me with two undergraduate degrees and one graduate degree.

(Complimenting my intelligence will get you everywhere with me!)

 
 

A true hedonist at heart, I crave carnal pleasure and affection in addition to intellectual stimulation. I believe eye contact is the most sincere way to actively listen and my favorite place to get lost is in conversation. I laugh easily and often, and I'm a sucker for witty banter. I’m playful and affectionate, and am often described as outgoing, free-spirited, and full of life.

I am the perfect girlfriend.

An attractive brunette with a devilish smile, I'm more than just another pretty girl; I'm smart, I'm ambitious, and I'm driven. My bright green eyes may captivate you - and my trim, feminine physique will certainly entice you - however, it's my heart and my mind you'll remember, and the way I make you feel you'll never forget.

If you prefer the company of intelligent, wild-hearted women with a thirst for life - and if you crave an experience you can sink into, and savor - then come with me, darling. I know just the place.

I’m a voracious reader & love spending nowhere-to-be-afternoons in the company of great (or even ‘okay’) literature. I have a deep affection for Fitzgerald, Vonnegut & Cormac McCarthy, and my heart-on for Hemingway is both cliche & crushing, as I feel his poignant precision of prose is absolute mastery. He was a maverick and perhaps literature’s last; like the beat writers Kerouac, Ginsberg, and William S. Burroughs - who liberated my quick-to-question, answer-seeking curiosity - and philosopher Alan Watts, who remains my most visited and revisited author and lecturer. I love writers who encourage their readers to think for themselves, and who pursue curiosity with an endless, robust and shameless supply of questions. Which is why Chuck Klosterman remains my modern favorite. His long-winded, yet succinct monologues fold fact into fiction like everyone you know, who’s ever retold a time-old-tale-turned-nostalgic anecdote - but better.

Beyond the books, I invest my time into yoga, writing, and music. When home in Austin I can be found daydreaming prose from coffee shops, finger-flirting with my bass, or on my mat, teaching and practicing asana. I’m secure with my tendency to deliver lengthy monologues and have a deep affection for alliteration. If writing is my strongest connection to self - and yoga is the lens through which I understand that (my)self - then music is where my soul burns brightest. I love the fullness of bass-forward sound and the texture of punchy-guitar licks; my affection for 60s garage rock, and all shades of punk, grunge, and psychedelic, is rooted in the first time I heard Magical Mystery Tour (Beatles), Songs the Lord Taught Us (the Cramps), and The Stooges (self-titled) on vinyl. (Holy shit, batman. More of that, please.) An avid-pursuant of experience and active-participant in life, I love meeting individuals who share my insatiable thirst for more -

more learning, more adventure, and more pleasure.

More of the things that light your soul on fire. Like the smooth pop of vinyl, brisk mountain air, and moments you can feel. I embrace the philosophical headwinds of curious conversations and pursue both knowledge and connection with deep reverence and vigor. I believe love & respect come from within; through intention and nourishment of my mind, body, and spirit. One of my favorite pleasures in meeting you is sharing that energetic spark which fuels my curiosity and compels me to show up in the experience of life. I want to savor the moments spent breathing; because the world is wild, full of wonderment, and I long to get lost chasing all that magic.

let me light you up.
