ursidae

Since I've had a couple of questions about it already, I figured that I'd go ahead and explain my name to everyone, ya know, so it's out there and all.

I've had the nickname Bear since I was a teenager, it was given to me at TRF (for all of you non Texans, that's short for Texas Renaissance Faire). It stemmed from the fact that I was running around the Faire grounds in a Gloomy Bear Kigurumi like a mad woman after eating a copious amount of LSD - which in itself is another story

But, Urisdae if the scientific name for "Bear". On all my other pages my name has always been Bear, whether it's for my live performance or modeling work. So, when completing my application, I requested the name Bear, only to receive an error message. No one else has the name, I'm just not allowed use it. No big, so I did the next best thing - I still used the name Bear. I was a silent rebel with a nerdy prowess. Everyone has heard of the constellations, Ursa Minor and Ursa Major (the big and little dippers) which in Latin also means, "Smaller Bear" and "Larger Bear". I personally find the sound of Ursidae, or "Ursa" for short, to both be very feminine and pretty. And poof! The name was born.
