Though she was born in the San Francisco Bay Area, Kim Ranjbar felt New Orleans calling her home as soon as she hit puberty. A graduate of granola U (a.k.a. Sonoma State University) with a BA in English and a concentration in Creative Writing, Kim took her passion for the written word and dragged it over 2000 miles to flourish in the city she loves.

After over seventeen years as a transplant β€” surviving hurricanes, levee failures, oil spills, boil water advisories and hipster invasions β€” Kim hopes to eventually earn the status of local and be welcomed into the fold.

John and I got crafty and for the first time ever, John and I got crafty and for the first time ever, made Mardi Gras flowers out of deco mesh. They turned out pretty well, but then we couldn't figure out how to put them up without putting too many holes in the siding.
