BIO?
Well I’m 29, yech! and unfortunately live south of Houston in Clear Lake and I cant wait to get out of here. I have a degree in photojournalism from Stephen F. Austin State University in a little town that nobody has probably ever heard of called Nacogdoches, Tx. My minor is in Deaf Education of all things and I work as a graphic artist and cartoonist for my family’s Company, I got married to the man of my dreams in 2005 who has completely accepted my cars addiction and will happily drive me around and join in the hunt with me. We have two dogs, our loves Bastion the Beagle and Parker the Puggle. Â Sometimes we even make a game of it when we are in the store and he is ALWAYS the one to find the car that we dont have. Â I realized after school was over that my lifelong dream was to find my way to Pixar one day. I have spent the last few years becoming a deeply rooted Pixar-carsaholic and am totally proud of the monkey on my back. Its totally fine if Im not good enough now because that goal wont ever change Ill just have to get better. Â A little birdie told me that Pixar was harder to get into than the CIA so i had better get to work hadn’t I? LOL
WHEN DID YOU START?
I started shortly after the first run of desert card backs with 12 were released with absolutely NO idea what I was getting into. I had decided that until I could get to Pixar I would do whatever possible to feel like I was there. So I spent hours watching all the extrafeatures on all of the Pixar DVDS and when I was watching an interview with John Lasseter and realized tha I had to start collecting Pixar toys for my cubicle when I would get there. Â I really was drawn to the cars when I saw them and I was lost from there.
WHAT WAS THE FIRST CAR YOU GOT?
If i’m not mistaken my first car was the desert back Lightning McQueen. Â I believed he was as good a place as any to start the collection.
HOW LONG BEFORE YOU HAD CAR #2?
Oh goodness i dunno maybe seconds? milliseconds? it would be awhile till I really understood what I had gotten myself into…
WHEN DID YOU DECIDE/REALIZE YOU NEEDED MORE THAN ONE?
Probably right away when I saw that they were from Wave 1 my husband looked at me and he was like oh boy am i in trouble LOL
WHEN DID YOU REALIZE YOU HAD TO GO BIG INTO THIS THING?
I’m pretty sure that there was never any question that if it was there if there was a car part of the collection, I would have to try and add it to mine. But it really and truly wasn’t until I discovered Take Five before I realized just how ginormous it was.
WHAT WAS THE CRAZIEST THING YOU’VE HEARD ABOUT COLLECTING THESE CARS? (NEVER YOU, SOMEÂ OTHERPERSON’S CRAZY STORYÂ ).
HAHAHA It would have to be Pirate Dad driving from Canada to South Carolina so that he could stop at every WM TRU and Target that he would come across along the way. Â I was laughed at when I asked why not fly?!!!
WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE CAR?
its a toss up between Lightning Storm Mcqueen and Darth Mater, Lightning Storm because of the way I was able to get him and because he was the most beautiful sculpt of his time.
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR TO ADD TO YOUR COLLECTION?
In bulk the Haulers but really 09 feels like it is going to be an amazing year for Cars, ones coming out that I for one never thought that I would see so oh yeah and the Dinoco girls of course
