The Girl

Miss Expatria was born on October 9, 2002 on a sofa previously owned by Robert Altman, whom she has never met. She raised herself in an empty palazzo on the sea in Lavinio, Italy. Later, she moved to Rome and became the doyenne of the Gay Mafia.

Quite by chance, she was swept off her feet by a man in the South of France. Jet-setting glamour ensued. Love was in the air. But suddenly, she was forced to return to the city that broke her heart - New York - for one year, during which she plotted her escape.

After languishing in exile, she finally was able to return to The Continent, where she lives in the South of France with the above mentioned man and a cat named Ladybird Johnson. She confounds locals by speaking French with an Italian accent.

Not everyone has her circumstances, and not everyone has the same desires as she. But whatever your ideas are about how life should be lived, she begs you to follow them until you drop.

Miss Expatria comes to you from the other side of her dreams, and she is telling you it is worth it.

She wrote a book about it. You can read some of it here. Soon, she’ll be returning to Rome with man and cat in tow. Stay tuned.
