Alexa Vaughn. 54. New York, NY


This is Alexa. She is the musical director for a children's theatre in New York City. She stands while she plays the piano, and has a high soprano singing voice with a very slow and deliberate vibrato.

Alexa Vaughn says things like, "I'm grateful and humbled to be on this artistic journey with you." She once told a 9 year old actress that she would be a more entertaining singer if her figure was "more pleasing". Alexa then winked sweetly and patted her knee.

She has a Border Collie named Zacharia that she won in a divorce settlement from her first and only husband, Keith. She never pets Zacharia because she's afraid of getting her fingers dirty, but she will occasionally sing for him.

When she sings Zacharia hides under the couch. The sound reminds him of the time his mother was hit by a train car when he was just a pup. Zacharia has nightmares, and worries that losing his mother at such a young age is the cause of his homosexuality and inability to commit.

Alexa likes the smell of steamed broccoli and has it almost every night for dinner. Alone. Always alone.
