- Meg Strout
- I'm tall with long brown hair, green eyes, and a big smile. I have the posture and manners of a ballerina and the walk and work ethic of a cowgirl. Some things I enjoy are big fires, riding horses, asking questions, good stories, chivalry, ballroom dancing, learning new things, swinging, vintage jewelry, having my own sense of style, good conversations, cracking my bull whip, making a difference wherever I am, and bunches of other things!
