LOS: Tell us a little about yourself.
Nora: My name is Nora. I am a 24-year-old queer Stone Femme. I grew up in Los Angeles, and I lived and went to school in Montreal for five years before coming to Brooklyn in September 2010. I have a shop on Etsy that sells vintage clothing, accessories, notions, treasures, and some handmade goodies as well! I also have a blog at norasnecessities3.blogspot.com/.

LOS: What was the best moment of your day today?
Nora: Getting morning cuddles from my partner before they went off to work.

LOS: How do you express your creativity?
Nora: Very verbally! Ha ha. I have done everything from singing in a punk band to being a ballerina, but these days I express my creativity through my Etsy shop, my environment, and my outfits.

LOS: What makes you happy?
Nora: A cozy bed, little kisses, peanut butter and chocolate, very fluffy cats, making treasuries, studying queer theory, DJing dance parties, having long talks, being with family and friends.

LOS: Who or what inspires you? Why?
Nora: My friends inspire me…they are all so driven and fabulous and talented.

My family inspires me, my dad is so principled, and works for social change, my mom is an incredible artist who shows her interior self to the world through her art.
Los Angeles inspires a lot of my aesthetic: Rockabilly Pin Up Girl Calavera Beach Queen Weetzie Bat 50s Hollywood Glam.

Music always inspires me. I’m a musician, and a DJ and It gets the artsy side of my brain flowing.

Thanks Nora!
