Name: Chris Jay
Age: 35
Occupation: Graphic designer/photographer
Identify as: Lesbian?
What are you looking for in a mate? I’m looking for a partner. Someone who understands my hustle and will support it. It would be awesome if she has a hustle of her own. I am attracted to “go getters” and strong women. She has to have a great sense of humor, knows how to have fun and is outgoing.
Biggest turn-off: Someone who is close-minded and feels like they have nothing left to learn. Also someone who is content with their current situation. I need someone who is always looking to do more with life.
Biggest turn-on: Someone who makes me laugh. It doesn’t hurt to laugh at my awful jokes too.
Hobbies: Producing and performing in drag and burlesque shows around D.C. Being on stage is such a rush and it is completely addicting.
Describe your ideal first date: I like to keep it simple with a good meal and drinks at a place that isn’t too loud for good conversation. Anything that allows us to get to know each other better.
Favorite TV show: “Drunk History”
Celebrity crush: Janet Jackson
One obscure fact about yourself: I love watching shows like “American Dad” and “Archer.” I have a very weird sense of humor.
