Name: Alexandra Waters

Age: 28

Occupation: Creative account coordinator

Identify as: Queer

What are you looking for in a mate? A wild explorer confident enough to choose her own adventure. A creative spirit with the ability to both waltz intellectually and get down on a dance floor. A friend with an appreciation for beautiful anomalies.

Biggest turn-off: Jealousy

Biggest turn-on: Watching someone get lost in their greatest passion, most recent curiosity or nerdy obsession.

Hobbies: Scavenging abandoned objects I can turn into art, biking fiercely through D.C. streets, composing letters sent with stamps, standing breathless in front of beautiful art and hosting extravagant brunches.

Describe your ideal first date: First, we’d grab coffee. Once we’re both chatting with the enthusiasm only a first date and caffeine could inspire, we’d start walking. Maybe I’d be brave enough to hold your hand, since at this point I’d be smitten. We’d stumble along hand in hand and see where the world takes us.

Favorite TV show: Let’s talk about books!

Celebrity crush: Melissa Harris-Perry, Rachel Maddow, Anderson Cooper — see the pattern?

One obscure fact about yourself: I was once a drag and burlesque performer so am well versed in the art of glitter
