• Bio:
Alicia Blake was born on March 25th, 1983 to Brenden and Alana Blake. Born in London, Alicia was an Army Brat. Her father originally from Maine and her mother a small town outside of London. While her father was shipped from base to base in Europe, she and her mother stayed with her grandparents until she was 8. Her father was stationed back in the states and assigned to recruiting for the US Army. Her mother was very reluctant to move stateside, afraid of the difference in the style of up bringing she opted to raise her daughter in.
Once in the states, Alicia was immediately swamped in family. Her father came from a rather large family. There were plenty of aunts, uncles and cousins but she was an only child. She grew a tight bond with her grandparents who she tended to spend more time with as her parents marriage began to fall apart. Her grandmother was a talented florist and taught her granddaughter the ways around the shop and a passion grew. By the time she was 15, she was working in the shop part-time between school and family.
At the age of 16, her parents marriage hit a breaking point when her mother left to visit family in England and failed to return. It was a defining moment in Ali's life. Things changed and it went from simple and carefree to taking care of her strict military father. He was extremely controlling. She was no long allowed to work in the shop, her father had to know where she was at all times. Ali had strict curfews and was not allowed to date. She was too afraid to rebel so she did as she was told and after graduation, Alicia went to college.
Attending Boston University, it was a sharp contrast from being under the thumb of her father and constantly being surrounded by her large family. Her major was journalism and Abnormal Psychology. However, not having that structure around her, Alicia didn't stay on her studies and was put on academic probation her Freshman year. Drinking, partying, and dating took control until her mother came back into her life.
Moving to Boston, her mother and her new husband were like a breath of fresh air. She'd always been in contact with her mother. When she first left, Alicia didn't understand but as she grew older, under her fathers control, it was clear she did what she had to by getting out when she could. She dreaded weekends when her father would come into town, he would be over critical of her friends, her apartment, her boyfriend, her hair. His idea of spending time together was doing drills and running through the park. While when she'd go to her mother and step fathers, it would be shopping, dinner and lots of laughs. They encouraged, unlike her father, her choice in major.
When she graduated college, her father had gradually slipped out of her life. Her mother and step father helped her get her get settled in, buying her an apartment and helping her get a colum in a local newpaper there, in Boston. Her whole life, she really hadn't been big into dating but when she was in college it took a turning point. She became a serial dater. Never one to settle down, it was always better in her opinion to be with someone that loved you more than you loved them. She would rather be worshiped then fall in herself. Until she met a man who changed her life. His name was Keith, he brought the best out of her. The two had met when she was in college while visiting her grandparents. After meeting randomly just walking, they were almost connected at the hip for the rest of her stay there. The two wrote constantly and would go see each other as often as they could. It was really honest to God love for Alicia but as time passed and she graduated college, things started to fall apart. They went their seperate ways but once in awhile still kept in touch. He was truely the owner of her heart but she would never let anyone know that.
After their break up, she closed up but met a man who fed off her negative energy and once again she changed. The many heartbreaks and sad sap stories that she had endured listening to from her friends, was just not what she wanted to get into. Then again, there is always "That one" the man that you can't ever shake. Even after break up after break up, Ali would always go back to that poison.
Alicia didn't surround herself with just anyone. People who knew her and got past that shell knew that she was a devoted friend but over all she put up a iron curtain to her emotions. Sex on the brain, is how she was described by everyone. It was her job, she worked for Cosmopolitan magazine and freelanced for several different magazines. Currently, there was an option for her to do a book but she had yet to really decide if she wanted to do a compilation of columns or the do's and don'ts that she had learned from her flings and friends relationships. Love was just not a subject that she wanted to to touch.
Having just finished her fourth book, she was working on a screen play with a producer friend of hers and getting settled into New York.
•Random facts about Alicia•
• She thinks she's better than anyone when she first meets them.
• She may have spent a majority of her life in the states but she has a British accent and doesn't think of herself as American.
• She has a handful of friends that know the real her and that she trusts.
• She isn't the type to sit and talk about her emotions. She'll listen to anyone but they aren't exempt from becoming material in her columns. Names changed of course, if the person wasn't a complete asshole.
• Just because she is a "sex-pert" doesn't mean she's a slut or that she will give it up to just any man that passes her by.
• She doesn't get along with her step siblings, she will be the first to tell you that they are arrogant and spoiled.
• Deep inside she knows there is "THE ONE" but thats for her to know and no one to ever find out.
• She's very judgemental about herself. You'll never see her without her hair or make up done. Now that she has money, she isn't thrifty about anything. Having gone without, growing up now a days its all about labels.
• Once you get past her shell, she is really sweet and friendly but it takes a little bit to get her to open up.
