“ Cocoa is a charm bracelet of word paintings, style tips, and beautiful images. [Penelope is] also a fantastic penpal, and always quick to put in a good word for a fellow blogger, so here’s mine for her. Add her now, cause then you can say you knew her when.

WHO IS PENELOPE BAT?
Hello, world. My name is Penelope Bat. I’m a former film student, current art student living part time in Palm Beach, Florida and part time in Brooklyn, New York with my daring darling loverboy. I’m a vegetarian, a slow-dancer, a daydreamer of epic proportions and a budding epicurean who lives for Pad Thai and soul food. Forever a kid at heart, I have a fluttering love of fairy tales and poetry slams and I have these fizzy champagne dreams of opening a tiny pink boutique and making tiny 16mm movies and writing novellas on an old typewriter and singing shamelessly in a ska band. I’m a saucy wild-child, an ENFP, a Cancer who is most un-Cancerlike and an 11.
I’m an eternal optimist in a little red bungalow.
I made my debut into the print world in early 2009 as a contributer to Australia’s eco-fashion magazine, Peppermint, writing about the evolution of clothes and the stories that they tell. With a little bit of luck and a whole lot of love, I’m hoping to continue in this direction of glossy magazines and full-page spreads, although I do have plans to start working on a tiny novella about life, love, and the magic in-between in the Summer of ‘09.
I’m addicted to meeting new people and hearing what they have to say, so if you want to ask me a question or share a song or recite your favorite poem or even just say hello, feel free to drop me a line! I will always respond.
Where to find me on the great big internet:
Twitter + Listography + Livejournal + Interview at Pink World
Always,
Penelope ♥
