Hi, I’m Clara Velásquez, from Puerto Ordaz, Venezuela, and I am (begrudgingly) 25 years old. My boyfriend, @cafeyarepas, is how I heard about Steemit.
He was always jabbering on about this magical place where you could be yourself, express yourself, show your interests to the world and then-wait for it-GET PAID FOR IT. I told him, “I’m sorry, but you’ve got to be f#*&ing kidding me!” But then he showed me and I was blown away; not only by the getting-paid-for-doing-what-you-loved crap, but by the sheer amount of positive vibes I encountered on this platform. The way everyone is working towards a better and happier exchange online. I was mesmerized. I was hooked.
Now I’m here, and I want to tell you a little about myself. Personal info coming at you at supersonic speed:
I am:
- A Mass Media university graduate with a Masters in Marketing and Advertising
- A makeup artist who likes to post videos on Youtube (channel)
- Living in Panama at the moment
- A Spanish, English and a bit of French speaker
- A movieholic
- A romanceholic
- A pretty decent shower singer
- A bookworm
- A kpop listener and Korean drama watcher
- Easygoing
- Forgetful
- Persistent
- Very clumsy
This was the makeup I did for the photo studio I collaborate with in Panama. We made a really cool Halloween Special video which I produced.
These are a few of my favourite things…
- Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens. Ha! Ok, now seriously:
- Movies: Avatar, All Studio Ghibli, Bicentennial Man, Inception, The Lion King, Under the Tuscan Sun, Interstellar, Peter Pan (the 2003 one), Moulin Rouge, Amelie, chick flicks in general.
- Books: Harry Potter saga, all Colleen Hover (especially Maybe Someday), most of Tammara Webber, romance or magic in general.
- Dramas: Coffee Prince, Goblin, Because this is my first life, Can you hear my heart, Descendants of the sun, Master’s sun, I can hear your voice, Tomorrow with you.
- Series: Game of Thrones, The O.A, Supernatural, Gilmore Girls, Once Upon a Time, American Horror Story, Sense8, Stranger Things, Switched at Birth.
- Sweets: Nutella. Nutella waffles, Nutella crepes, Nutella biscuits, Nutella shakes. Just…Nutella.
- Food: Nut-nah kidding. Pasta.
- Movie soundtracks in general.
More about me
When I was 4 years old, my parents went to study in England and dragged me along. I came back home to Venezuela 4 years later (an absolute mess in Spanish class) and lived there until the situation became unlivable and we moved to Panama in 2015 after my graduation from college.
I never was a morning person. Here I am on my first day of school for Neville's Cross Primary School in Durham.
I now have odd jobs here and there doing makeup for weddings and photoshoots (Instagram, Facebook) and am regularly teaching Business English to company groups.
This was at the last wedding I did makeup for. It was a chinese wedding and I was in charge of all six bridesmaids.
So…
…that’s why I’m here. I want to become a part of this wonderful community. I want to share my art, my likes, teach people about the things I find fascinating. If you want to accompany me on this wild ride, I’m all in for a new friend.
Here I go.
