''A fantasy writer, who is known for books like ''Dance with a Sulfur'',
''Silver Sword's Coast'' or bestseller- ''Day of the Dead''.
































A young man with mismatched eyes glances your way before making his way over...
"Hey there, you interested in a cut or style today?" He asks with a sultry look in his eyes before noticing your questioning eyes at him.
"Ey, I see. Why don't I introduce myself?" He says before twirling the long strand on hair near his eyes with his fingers.
"My name is Brady, Brady Holiday. I am the owner of this hair salon along with the side show of dog walking. The shop's name is Holiday Hair and Honor. The dog walking service is named after me, Holiday Dog Walking Services."
A bark almost sound like the dog was chattering can be heard before you see a small Dalmatian pup by your feet. You see there is a hot dog in his mouth. His eyes look innocent and oblivious.
"Sorry bout that, it's my pal Dipper" Brady says with a chuckle before bending down to Dipper. "Go on now, I have a guest."
And with that, the small pup went on his way.
Brady stood up again, leaning on the side of the barber half wall. He crossed his arms before tilting his head back to you.
"So, you come to get some information about me?" He sighed. Brady rolled his eyes before giving you a teasing look. "I have been getting alot of you kind of people lately. So...let's hear it..."
And so you begin the interview...



"Ugh! I am better then that!"
I grew up in a household where I was the only child. I lived with my mother, father, and my mother's sister, my aunt Casey.
My father was a banker for small town for the first 10 years of my life, while my mother and aunt worked as cleaning ladies. I would hear them be called "busy bodies" or "maids" too. I often was with them when they went to work at their client's homes.
Both my mother and aunt were stubborn women who not only believed what they said was right, but would hear nothing about back sassing or having "the last say". They were hard working ladies, and i respected them very much. I did what they said and listened as well as i could. Unfortunately, my content forgetfulness irritated them to no end.
I feel guilty for not being able to what they said. I wanted to do what I could, but i simply was not enough. I began to believe perhaps if i was a girl my mother wouldn't be so harsh. She told me once, "It's because your a boy! And when your grow up, you'll be a man, but that changes nothing. Still useless."
That's when I think i lost a little of my self control.
It became more clear to me. Mother saw me for my gender. For the stereotype, not me.
Fights began, and i began to speak more.
I also began to get irritated and verbally fight as if i was at war.
It has been over 5 years since i spoke to my mother. When i left the house at the age of 23, nothing had changed.
She still saw me as a no good man, and i thought it over, realizing where she had these ideas.
My mother had divorced my father when i was 18, after getting fed up with his spending habits and carelessness.
I saw...that she was mad at him. And she saw him in me, in that blaming me.
I still mail her birthday, mothers day and Christmas cards regardless of the fact she never answers.
Because she still is my mother. And I am proud, because love is more then what i believe people think it should be.
Roses and smiling faces.
Sometimes, if you love someone, you must let them go.
"Pride is only ugly when there is nothing to be proud of!"
It's a complicated emotion, something that I wasn't always. In fact, as a young child I had no pride, so being this now is a night-day difference.
As stated before, my father was a banker for alot of my life. As such, I am sure you believe he must have had good money and a good head on his shoulders.
Unfortunately, that is very much wrong.
My father had bad habits that he never let go, even now.
He grew up in a well off home, given a good job as a banker before stealing from his own family, whom quickly wanted nothing to do with him. He liked money, and spending it.
Though my father had these habits, he could easily play the good banker in front of anyone. That's how he kept his job up for so long, even being promoted to come to NYC. But, that money he made rarely came home.
He would go out to spend it on luxuries like gambling, drinking and useless things of the like.
My father made a good check too, that my aunt and mother wouldn't of had to work. We could have lived on his check comfortably. We could of...done alot.
Father just could never learn from his mistakes nor listen to anyone. Eventually mother finally saved enough and worked enough to leave him. She never deserved that treatment.
So...where does my pride come in?
I have pride in the fact that i didn't do a "monkey-see, monkey-do" scenario that would have lead me down his path of gluttony and greed. Instead, I can say i am a graduate, a business owner, a home owner, and have alot more control then him.
Whenever I think I have messed up or feel I have not done enough, i remember him.
I remember at least...I am not him. I am me. And that is something to be proud of.
"It's a bad habit they say. I wish it was."
I think this is something I came with when i was born. If i could remember, Im sure i was always like this.
Where's my keys? Where'd I put my backpack? Who's my 2-a clock appointment again?
These are the questions I see myself asking over and over again.
I feel that the hostile and unwelcoming environment I grew up in didn't help, but encouraged this.
I was nervous and worried whenever I lost of forgot something. Because, I knew mom would have a fit.
Even as a grown man, I tell you, I am still searching. It's like running after your own tail, I imagine.
Being forgetful may not be so great to have as apart of whom I am...
But I know, that i allows me to ask for help, to want to understand more.
Even if I ...
What am I talking about?
"Be lively! Be ready for anything!"
Energy is such a simple but wondrous thing! The ability to move, speak, think...all of that takes energy!
We get it by eating, drinking, exercise and sleep. To not have too muc or too little is always something to figure out...
I believe that as a child, being told to sit and stay quite, drove me to being me today.
I can jump, run, and do what I want when I want. It's freedom, something I didn't always have.
Taking advantage of it, and doing all you can it what drives me.
I love acting, not so much talking. Well, I am a good talker too!
Overall, let's keep this simple; I am known for my upbeat aura, and it's no lie. There's just so much to do!
"Don't just love. Be loved. Love love. It's everywhere!"
Is it so odd to state this as apart of who i am? Never heard that before?
I see, that's a shame, as I guess many people don't see love like I do.
Want to know what I mean? Alright...
Love is... everything. It's an emotion, a time, a place, a person, a thing. It's every sense you can have.
I'm sure you think I'm being smooth or some poet. But, I am not.
I have always believed that if you want to be loved, love others. Feel what they feel. See what they see. So on.
To be love-able, I think, is to be easy going while aware. To put yourself out there, ready to care, but not to be stepped on.
It's pretty complicated, but believe me, if you have kindness in your heart and are capable of understanding others...
You too, may be love-able.



Shopaholic ;;
That's right, Brady loves to shop, like a girl with her crew. Be it clothes to groceries, he has a blast...and may spend a bit much along the way. It probably comes from the expectation to look good in his profession, but we think it's because he's materialistic.
His favorite place to shop is a block away from his apartment, called Freshin. This is a vegan/non-dairy/farm to table kind of store. He likes to see all the unusual but delightfully yummy treats they offer, along with other things. He himself is not a vegan of the sorts, but rather likes the health benefits. (Or spending his money)
Hairstylist ;;
Brady is a professional hair stylist with a associates
in business management. This enables him to not
only work for himself, but have abilities not all
hairstylists can say they have!
Brady really loves the time he has helping his
clients find the right look or do "the usual" for them.
He has become quite popular in the area for his
upbeat aura and skill. Though at times his
forgetfulness gets in the way, at this point,
his clients know and shrug it off as his "niche".
He can do a variety of hairstyles, be it for men
or women, children to elderly, wigs to even pets!
This challenges him and gives him more ways to
offer ideas to his clientele. He also helps with
waxing, dying hair, and conditioning.
Dog Walker ;;
Brady does this on his spare time, usually it
being Saturday and Sunday mornings. He has a
sign outside his hair shop that states he offers
dog walking as well. Some wonder what a
professional stylist could want walking dogs, as
it certainly isn't a profession or money maker.
Quite simply put, Brady is a dog lover and will
take any chance he can at interacting with them.
He is quite busy of a guy, so having only one dog is
all he can afford with his time. He makes up by
bringing his buddy Dipper, his Dalmatian pup, to
the shop alot. In addition to that, Dipper is
beside him on all walks he takes with the others
he needs to walk, making sure the other dogs listen.
(Though...Dipper is a bit air-headed to actually help.)

Brady met Eloise by being told about his hair salon.
She was visiting NYC for the first time, and it
also being her her first time in America.
She went to a cafe a few blocks from his
salon, and after commenting to the waitress
about her lovely do, she was insisted to vist
Brady's shop.
Once the two met, they got along well.
Brady pretty much bragged about himself,
and Eloise listen happily.
She hasn't been able to visit in over a
year now, but knows she has a friend in
the Big Apple whom will welcome her back.
Brady finds her quite refreshing to talk
to, not only for her outgoing bubbly
behavior but French accent.![]()
Azula met Brady through a chance meeting.
Brady was does his dog walking services,
going on with three other dogs beside his
pup Dipper. When they took a turn, a
very unsuspecting passerby was
bombarded by the dogs. Why?
She was holding a box of meat lover's pizza.
Azula was on her was to a conference that
she needed to attend, hence why
she is in NYC. The pizza was a request
by one of her colleges, and now
it was a dog's meal.
Brady quickly helped her up and
got her a new pizza for all the trouble.
They ended up chatting up and
became alright friends.
Azula likes him just as he is, as
he reminds her of her daughters back home.
Brady likes her as-well, but can get upset around
her easily because she reminds him of her mother,
or more or so, how he wished she could have been.

~~~~~~~~Dipper was found by Brady while he was being chased by a dog catcher. He was a stray pup that had been stealing hot dog s at a local vendor nearby. Brady was on his way home from work when the dog jumped into his arms. When the catcher asked him to hand him over, Brady looked at the pup and said, "I'll take him home, he won't cause no more trouble."
As much as that would have been nice, Dipper is still quite the rascal and still finds a way to steal hot dogs from the same vendor. Brady brings him to work alot to keep him company, and keep watch over him.
Dipper's name came from the night he was brought home. Brady saw the little dipper in the sky and thought it just made sensd. They are best for friends!


Where were you born? Where have you lived since then?
I was born in Bangor, Pennsylvania in the early morning of January 4th. It's a small town in PA, with a population of 5,000. I grew up there with my mother, father and aunt Casey until I was 12. We moved from there to New York City, where my dad got a job as a banker near main street. It was a pretty big deal. We lived in lower Queens.
I loved living there that when I moved out, I moved down into Brooklyn where i could see the statue of liberty from my window!
Do you have a nickname?
Some people think my name is a nickname, but it really is my name. I guess some people call me "Brady Bunchie" or "Holly", but i don't like those!
What is in your refrigerator right now? On your bedroom floor? On your nightstand? In your garbage can?
I have alot of vegan snacks and fruit smoothies in it...and some left over Chinese.
Carpet, dog hair, socks and whatever Dipper feels like throwing on it.
A lamp, some cut up pictures for a magazine for ideas and loose change from my pockets.
Well...trash.
What is your most precious item? Why is it?
My scarf. I have had it for...5 years now? It is very important to me, as i bought it the same day I bought my apartment. It was just a scarf then, simple but with flare. But, it grew on to me, as if reminding me how far I've come and my home. It's not easy living in NYC, and everyday is certainly a test! But me and this scarf have made it so far.
I hear your a dog lover, does that mean you hate cats?
Ah no! Cats are cool, don't get me wrong. Eloise has one and he is pretty chill. I just like dogs more, i guess since when i grew up, we couldn't have one. My neighbors all had one or so and my family traveled too much or where just too busy for pets. I guess now i'm on my own i take advantage of what i didn't have.
What does your sexuality mean to you?
As you know, I am pan-sexual. I quote it with "show me love". Why you might ask? Simple but not so...
As i hit puberty, i began to find attractive features in others and have the "butterflies" alot. It was quite annoying as I neither understood nor liked it. When I realized what it meant, I also realized i felt similar in emotions to males and females.
When I told my parents, they were shocked and didn't quite understand. I would be asked "is she cute or she?" and I would say; "I don't know either, so they only look cute." I would shrug. When I met people, I could understand them and see qualities i either liked or not. That's what drove my "sexuality" I guess.
Name the top 3 places you want to visit one day, and why.
~ Paris, France : It's the city of love i hear and i want to see if it's true. I also love french cuisine.
~ Putta Cana, Mexico : I have seen pictures of friends going there for vacation. They have the clearest water, and I love me a good party!
~ London, England : I am a hairstylist after all and this place is known for the fashion shows! I love style, be it hair to clothes, women or men, it's super cool. I have never gone to a real show but it would be an honor!
