about coco

hi, my name is colleen. somehow, somewhere i picked up the pseudonym ‘coco’. coco likes to refer to herself in the third person. i’m afraid of thunder and celine dion. even numbers are auspicious. lower caps make me swoon. i prefer baba ghanoush over hummus. i rode an ostrich once. babies and animals like me. republicans and celine dion fans…not so much. i’m (still) easily star-struck. i’m a sagittarius with a virgo sensibility. i always take surface streets. my handwriting makes my mother weep. you can talk to me about religion and politics. i’m a native new yorker who say’s ‘y’all’. i like wearing dresses. you can woo me with ee cummings and/or strong espresso. i don’t do the valley. i like to copy-edit menus. i’m a humanitarian worker, ergo i’m self-righteous and carry a passport. i’m also an actor, ergo i’m tragically flawed and carry a headshot. i hate the cold. my first crush was tom brokaw. i’m supposed to be doing my laundry right now.
