My “given” name is Janessa Black, but this year I’m going by Barbie Sparkle Ultimate-Destoyer and Endorser of Flower-Power. I was born near Salt Lake City, though in my wildest fantasies I wish I could have been brought up in a small island town close to Greece, to live out my days in youthful romance and hit Abba songs like in Mamma Mia. Hey, surprise surprise, this also happens to be my favorite movie. My recent favorite book is called the Cure For Dreaming. The highlight of my summer was not, unfortunately a tropical vacation full of drama and constant song and dance, but I did go camping a bunch. If I were an inanimate object I’d be a pom-pom, because I can shake it. 2 truths and a lie: I’ve lived in Arizona, I love cottage cheese, I can do the splits.
