Kim Singleton

Job: Art director at the College of Charleston, instructor at Trident Technical College and freelance graphic designer.

Song that best describes you: "I'm an Animal" by Neko Case.

On a Saturday night, you are usually: Bar hopping and dancing with friends (30 is the new 20, right?).

Favorite event in Charleston and why: There are so many great events in Charleston but I would have to say my favorite is Bubbles & Sweets at the Charleston Wine + Food Festival. It combines all my favorite things: Signature cocktails, chocolates, pastries and you get to put your fancy dress on and dance the night away!

Talents/Hobbies: Creating and wearing my fun skirt designs, shopping (I could be your personal shopper/stylist), designing printed pieces, Facebook stalking, modeling, volunteering for local animal rescue organizations.

Music in your CD player right now: Lady Gaga, "The Fame Monster" (heart her).

Best thing about Charleston: Living downtown! Plus, the diversity of the city including the people, the places, the food, etc. ... Love it all!

Worst thing about Charleston: The potholes and flooding!

Favorite book: "Invisible Monsters" by Chuck Palahniuk.

In love?: No time for that right now! Seriously though, if I met the right guy, I could change that.

If your friends described you in one word, what would it be?: I asked around and received several questionable answers but, I think my favorite was either "fierce" or "toothsome."

How would you describe yourself, in one word: Awesome

Things you do in your spare time: Spare time? What's that?

Unforgettable moment in your life: This is so cheesy but, here goes: I went out with this great guy last summer (who shall remain nameless), we went to dinner and then decided to take a walk on the beach. In all my years of Charleston living, I had never done this on a date. So, we get out there and it was a really beautiful night. The sun was setting in one place and a storm was approaching in another, it was crazy windy and the lighting was very odd. I was wearing this flowy white sundress that was practically glowing in the light and billowing out. The whole situation was very surreal. We had this incredible make-out moment and then as the storm got closer we had to leave. He later told me how beautiful I looked and that night reminded him of a perfume commercial. That had to be my most unforgettable date ever.

Where do you see yourself in 11 years?: Older and wiser with lots of cats.
