Welcome to My-Vanity!

ABOUT ME

My full name is Maria-Elena, but I don't really like being called that out loud. It's messy and confusing, so I go by Maria.

My birthday is the 27th July which makes me a Leo. I'm very much a leo, so watch out.

I started "graphic designing" when I was about 12. It started on Neopets with MS Paint and shortly after became Jasc Paint Shop Pro 7. Within a couple of years I came to realise that Adobe had software on offer... I downloaded it but never really explored much of it for another year.

Eventually, at age 15, I began using PS and as time progressed, used it more confidently.

I'm always learning new things on CS, which is why I love it!

I aspire to be a Fashion Designer... my goal feels unrealistic but I aim to start small. Owning a clothing shop and stocking popular brands and designing 15% of my stock. Depending on how the 15% sells will eventually determine my career.

I love Fashion Illustration! I also love drawing and painting... I guess you could say I'm an artsy person.

I have two cats, one black and one white. The black one is called Queen Latifa and the white one Tinkerbelle. Latifa is very social whereas Tinkerbelle is very caucious around everyone.

My girlfriend taught Latifa how to high five (seriously). She out streches her paw into your hand with lots of pats in return.

I also have a dog named Vodka, who is a Siberian Husky.

I did have a little bunny named Stevie but we had to give him away. He was extremly active and hated being in a cage, even though we let him out for an hour a day!

I'm in a relationship and have been for the past two years now. I believe it's forever!

One thing I always wished I could do was sing. I have a horrible voice which produces horrible sounding notes and words...

I love clothes, I love my wardrobe, I love my shoes. My signature piece is my gorgeous Rolando Patent Christian Louboutins which are so high they rule out mose occasions... but on the occasion it doesn't rule out, it looks fabulous!
