Amada Gris
Bio: "The rest of us are merely journeymen, planting seed for someone else to harvest." —Wallace Thurman
“I disengaged, not completely, not successfully, not definitely, but sufficiently to figure out that this was not my place.” —Nell Painter
A typo created Amada. In English, Amada Gris translates to Beloved Gray. Amada Gris is an adventurous soul dancing in New York City. Originally, it was Amanda Gris. An ode to the pen name who wrote romance novels in the film la flor de mi secreto. Amada Gris first fell in love with photography, then they somehow seemed to fall in love with anonymity. They are passionate about lust, history, art, and traveling everywhere. Since this is a scandalous novela, Amada Gris lives happily and lustfully ever after. There may be other things along the way, but the eyes and the kisses and the shadows and the substance and the stars and the flowers are all that matter.
