My aim is true.

Tuesday, August 11th, 2009

Well, ladies and gents, are your most stunning outfits pressed and ready for the Red Carpet? It’s almost Absolut Sexy time! I’m going to be performing my very first singing act.

You heard it here first: I’m singing “Alison” by Elvis Costello! It’s a completely new dream pop arrangement by Chicago composer Michael Kunc. Mike doesn’t have a website yet (because I’m still working on it — hee hee!), but if you’re interested in some shameless crossover promotion, you can hear the album we worked on together here on Facebook.

If you need more Apple to satisfy your cravings, then come out the following weekend for Salon deVine at Joie deVine! It’s my first time performing with Girlie Q and I couldn’t be more excited. A little singing, a little dancing, a whole lot of sexy!! Not to mention a great wine selection and some killer cocktails. Be there!

More shows on the horizon, and some new photos posted on Facebook that I’ll get on the site soon, I promise. Much more fun to come… I’ll see you at the shows!

Absolut rambling.

First of all, I just realized I hadn’t announced that I will be in the late set of the Absolut Sexy show on August 15th! I’m excited. There’s a Red Carpet at 10pm, so if you want piccies with some hot ladies, come early (and often – ha! I’m a dork) and stay late: my set starts at 2am! I know it’s long haul, but I’ll shake you all night long, baby. :)

Now, if you’re just keeping up with what I’m doing, you can stop reading right there! But if you want to see what’s going on in my brain… stay tuned for that wonder after the jump. ;)

I’ve been thinking …. I’ve been thinking a lot about burlesque.

(more…)

The way you make me feel!

…is probably my favorite song by the late MJ. Have some good memories dancing to that one. That guitar lick by Slash in Black or White is KILLER, tho. Gotta love that.

Captain EO (yeah, I so went there) aside, just reporting a couple things on the horizon. You may have seen on the shows page that I’m gonna be performing at the late set of July’s Broadzilla at Exit. (But just because I won’t be there doesn’t mean you shouldn’t hit up tonight’s show at Exit as well! I’ve heard rumors that it’s gonna be a Thriiiilller, Thriller night…)

Anywho, come see me July 31st @ 1am. I’ll be debuting a new act at that show – you really shouldn’t miss it. In fact, I have dropped a hint as to what the new act is about in this post… You just have to find it! ;)

And sometime in July, I’ll be participating in bcj photography’s All That Glitters project! Yay!

On the non-performing front, I’m going to see the Girlie-Q Queer Prom on Saturday, and I’m so geeked! Just started reading MsBeaHaven’s blog this week, and I love it!

Stay well, cats and kittens. Much love.

Reporting for booty.

Hi guys. Thanks to everyone who came out to the Blue Bayou shows, and everyone I got to meet or talk to online as a result! April, Ian, Siren Jinx, Brian of bcj photography and Alex Zander (rad blog shoutout, btw! Thanks!)! Hope I’m not forgetting anyone! And thanks to my new FB fans! TELL YOUR FRIENDS! :)

No gigs on the horizon presently, but I think that’s actually a good thing (at least, in the short term). I have been super busy in my personal life, and I am working through details – props, costumes – for upcoming acts. Plus I need to take some new photos and get some business cards made up… Ahh, so much to think about!

Lastly, expect some changes coming to the site soon… Gonna add a bottom bar with links to everything – FB, Myspace, Twitter – all those social networking things the youngsters use!

Be well, cupcakes! Talk to you soon!

On my way to Exit! First time ever posting from my Crackberry. A little nervous about the new act. But hopefully whatever happens, my new fabulous purple lashes (and the booze) will make it okay!

Hope you’re there to see what I mean! And pics will follow if not. :)

I just made some new pasties with tassels, and then taught myself how to twirl ‘em. Oh hells yeah.

Come see the new act at the end of this month @ Exit!

An Apple a day…

Monday, April 27th, 2009

Well, the design is up! All it needs now is some photos of little ol’ me to fill that gaping hole on the left side of the screen. ;) (Updated! That’s me over there!) Also, the inner pages need some work. But enough nerdy talk. On to boobies!

I had a FABULOUS time making my burlesque debut at Broadzilla @ Exit this past Friday. Everyone from Vaudezilla was super supportive and just obscenely nice – and I mean that in the most literal sense! What’s better than a little boob grabbin’ between pals?! Hee hee.

I’m gonna be doing it again at Brando’s on May 12th, and then hopefully I’ll be debuting a new act at next month’s Broadzilla. I promise to keep you posted.
