Hello, mysterious stranger.

What incredible twist of fate has brought us together? For I am but a humble temptress with a carefully curated website advertising on many public platforms and you are a weary internet traveler with a penchant for intriguing strawberry blondes with perfect brea... breadth of knowledge.  Quelle chance! With lady luck firmly on our side, shall we put our cards on the table?

Born to itinerant actors in turn-of-the-century Boston I was orphaned by consumption and sent to an upstate boarding school where I earned distinctions in French and Latin. Having so romanticized my forbears and to escape considerable gambling debts I regularly pretend to· set off for Greece and St. Petersburg in some idealized aristocratic pursuit of freedom. Wait, no, this is Edgar Allen Poe’s biography.

I’m Lille, a wholesome gal from a small mountain town who packed up her (all natural) snow-capped peaks in search of adventure. Or perhaps I was raised by wolves, which explains my passion for steak tartare, hiking and Danish modern furniture.

Under the bright lights of big cities I flirted with my distinguished professors for many  years and recently returned for a degree in art history. Once completed I hope to effortlessly seduce you with facts about Manet’s affairs in Montmartre as we whisper our way through quiet galleries. I aim to be well-rounded in all the right places. 

While I cannot claim to be particularly modest with all my visuals I do keep my face as private as my vanity will allow.  I have memorable femme fatale bone structure that hotel bartenders never forget and look most like a young Cate Blanchette or Gillian Anderson. I gravitate toward clothing that prioritizes craftsmanship over obvious labels and I keep my makeup on the natural side - in public, should anyone stumble across our dinner table at an intimate moment I readily pass for a charming colleague visiting from the Dallas office. In private, you’ll find it hard to believe I didn’t emerge fully formed from the depths of your wildest imagination. 

To exploring the depths, 

Lille
