ABOUT ME

Cristina Alexis (Teena T): On-line and Marketing Manager for PrettyUnused

I am an Old soul with a heart of Gold. Birthed by one of the most amazing women to have walked this earth. Started my love for fashion at the early age of 3, walking in mom's stilettos, playing in her makeup and insisting on putting my own outfits together. I drew and colored my little life away and created fantasy lands in backyards (Doctors told my mom that I had a vast imagination). I am in love with life and the lovely people who have all become a part of my personal novel. I am a firm believer of this quote, "What defines me is not how fast I fall, but how well I RISE after I have fallen". My style is chic, refined w/just the right amount of sass and I wear it well with confidence. My hair is always changing as I enjoy the 'shock factor' when people don't recognize me. I've studied dance and spill my soul on paper with my poetry more often than not. Dance and writing are a great release for me when I am going through some difficult times. I am a FIDM graduate, having majored in Apparel Manufacturing Management. I've worked in the fashion industry as an Assistant Buyer, Showroom Manager, Freelance Stylist and Sales Rep. Versatility is key and the mind is the only limitation. I always remember that my own hand is the only thing holding me behind. So, no matter how many times life has me trip, fall, or get set back... I will continue to push forth and live my dreams;)
