~ Avril: August ~

Avril Korman (generally known as bronxelf on the net and everywhere else) is a carbon-based, NYC native. She can be accurately described as an INTJ poster child, a replicant, a mentat, and not the droid you're looking for. For good or bad, she came up with the idea for this project, and is responsible for running the show, herding kittens, cracking heads, and generally being blamed for whatever goes wrong. When not coming up with zany ideas to help her friends and suckering other people into going along with them, she is a professional designer specializing in restaurants, retail environments, hotels, and products (like this calendar, and all the other nifty stuff we'll be selling in order to raise money for Heather.) She has her eye on an architecture degree and enough letters after her name to play anagrams.

In her entirely nonexistent spare time she takes photos (mostly, but not exclusively, of NYC), hones her PhotoShop skills, eats in a hell of a lot of good restaurants, cooks when she can, and generally Makes Stuff with paints, bits of glass, clay, fiber and whatever else she happens to think is interesting at the time. She likes cartoons, uninterrupted sleep, inside jokes, silly southern monsters, and British architects. When not actively engaged in the Designing of Things, Avril can be found cleaning up after four lazy, overweight cats who shed far too much and are occasionally threatened with becoming catapult ballistas. No, she doesn't want any more. Really.

She owns her own siege engine and a cache of weapons and knows how to use all of them. She does not, however, understand how to run a sewing machine, though she has in fact, recently mastered the use of her coffee maker.

Far from being a social crusader for much of anything (save the right for everyone do pretty much be left alone to screw up their own lives however they want), Avril really doesn't have much to say about cancer, save that it sucks and obviously no one wants it. She really came up with this idea just to help ensure one of her best friends didn't go broke just to get medicine that would help save her life. She is not an altruist or a humanitarian. She's not even sure she's human herself half the time. But she'd really like it if you sent some money to Heather, who is much nicer than she is.

Avril can be reached at bronxelf@limeproject.org, but would like to note that all creepy mail is subject to mockery on the Internet, where she is the sole arbiter of what "creepy" entails. On the other hand, if you need a restaurant designed, she'd like to talk to you.
