My name is Irene, native Greek and passionate for life. People usually recognize me by my nickname Zirconia and/or TanyaTreed in many other sites and forums. If I could describe myself, I would say that I am hard-working, creative, kind, smart, sarcastic, friendly, honest and much more, but I prefer that people realize on their own what I am and draw their own picture in their mind. I am a member on Vampirefreaks since September 01, 2005 but I don't login so often because of my daily routine and works. So, if I don't answer back quickly please, do not feel ignored. I rarely ignore people.
I have chosen the nicknames Zirconia (or Zircon) as it is my favorite gem and character in the Sailor Moon anime series who was a kind of monster without a specified sex and absorbed energy. I am a child at heart and I tend to have some kind of a "Peter pan complex". I don't want to lose the kid inside.
I graduated from Vakalo School of Art & Design (BA and MA from the University of Derby, UK) in February 2003 (Athens, Greece). Graphic Design is my main source of expression and my profession as well today. I am a Graphic Designer, not exactly an artist.
I cooperate with Bloodcult Zine as a digital photographer and editor of events, one of the biggest magazines in Greece, related to black metal, Gothic, electro, industrial, EBM, noise music and generally to the dark alternative scene.
I attended vocals' lessons in the past at the Atheneum Odium but I left them for other important activities. However I still like singing and I have many different kinds of hobbies.
I love "exploring" music. Music and dance are my life and 'sex is a substitute for music and dance' to me! I love moving my body and 'going with the flow'. It is not just a way to stimulate myself, but my lifestyle. I work as a gogo-dancer for huge events. I have danced at many clubs, for gigs, festivals, parties and artists in Europe. So, in case you would like to know when and where is my next appearance, check out my blog entries and calendar.
I love animals, although not a vegetarian. I have a cat and a dog. I rarely drink, I don't smoke, I never did any drugs in my life, but my weaknesses are candies and chocolate.
Spoken languages: English, French, Italian and -of course- Greek. I travel a lot.
For further information check out below and don't hesitate to contact me as I really like to meet people!
My boyfriend Jan. He means a lot to me! We are together from the first days of July 2004. We met at the 13.WGT at Leipzig, he is from Germany and we are still together. He doesn't like to have any of his photos on-line so, you won't see him in any sites or forums. Japanese art, manga, anime, hentai of all kinds, androids. Mini-sculpture, painting, free sketch and computer design in different forms, exhibitions, cinema, concerts, art in general. Music Industrial for the masses, clubbing, gogo-dancing. Just put me on a stand, stage, gogo-box or cage I'll do my best. I am very energetic, especially if it's about my favorite music. Music means the world to me, music is my life and I give all myself to it. Cyber-industrial accessories, vinyl-fetish clothes and gadgets, PVC, dreadlocks, cyberlocks, multi-colored extensions, transformer-boots, platform shoes, high heels, goggles, piercings, synthetic furs, flashy colors, UV-reactive spikes, mirror chokers, reflectors, flashy-glittery make-up, corsets. My pets Christie and Tristana. Good food, going out with my friends, traveling, sightseeing. Although there is no leisure time for me I enjoy reading books and magazines, learning foreign languages, networking, clubbing, deejaying, shopping. I contribute to gigs and festivals by taking photos and interviews from bands, as well as reviewing new releases and concerts in general.
I am a real workaholic and I enjoy it!
I hate receiving my bills and cult invites. Sorry guys, I have no time for cults. I am in few ones and I don't even participate. I don't like people who believe they 're "the center of this world" or "the best" while they know there's always someone better. Liars, ignorants and losers are in the first place of my ignore list.
'Greek Lovers' and their general attitude. In case you try to piss me off don't even start with me, you won't win.
Anyone who doesn't accept originality or uniqueness. I dislike low quality in many things, especially in music. For SPAMmers/haters/non-lifers: If you don't like my profile, just leave it. My favorite quote is 'GET A LIFE'.
Things you should never ask me for:
- MSN, AOL/AIM, Yahoo etc. I don't like losing my time in chatting so, I don't have most of these things.
- What's the cost of vanity, if I'm snobbish and similar things. I'm not here to tolerate any silly, ironic or jealous comments. I know who I am and your crappy opinions mean nothing to me. Not to mention that I am in love with the [block user] button.
- "Would you do me a sexual favor", "web-cam", etc.. The answer (if I give any) is NO. I don't answer to cheap and rude questions. - How do I edit my photos and do my hair, where do I buy my clothes etc.. There are many websites about that stuff so please don't bother me.
Important: I don't give away graphic works for free. Graphic design is not for free, otherwise it won't be appreciated.
I may sound bitchy but believe me, I am a very approachable person.
