Absinthe
Rogue philosopher, epiphanaut, psychologist-in-training, body modification enthusiast, and future princess of Atlantis, these are just some of the roles that Absinthe takes on to fill in the gaps most other people call "spare time." Born in Austin, Texas, she's been a high plains drifter ever since, calling California, Oregon, and other mysterious locales home.
Adventurous and tomboy-spirited, Absinthe maintains a cool, femme fatale exterior. Though she has the ability to pry open the closely-guarded secrets of others like a psychiatric can opener, she's more likely to wear her own heart under several layers of sleeves and a padlock.
"I've come to believe that when I share something with someone, most of the time, it will become devalued in some way to me," she says. "So, my best secrets, I keep to myself. I believe that there is really no answer to the question 'why' and the enjoyment of asking such questions is called 'mental masturbation' and the obsession with asking such questions is called 'thinking too much.' I also believe logic is flawed."
But what would Mr. Spock say, we wonder?
"That pointy-eared bastard should give up on logic and go bake cookies in the big tree with his countrymen," Absinthe spits with scornful disgust. "Elfin magic is so much more useful than Vulcan so-called logic. Feh!"
Absinthe will be working her own elfin magic with Godfrey Silas on a film this summer, so be on the lookout! As a model, she's also been the subject of a veritable army of world-famous photographers including Craig Morey, Charles Gatewood, Justice Howard, Kevin Hundsnurscher, George Vernon, Sam Lovely, Kevin Break, Mike Anderson, Fallen Angel Studios, and Digital Apocalypse Studios.
