I warmly welcome fun people with verve and GOOD MANNERS. Also people who write clever e-mail. Lordy, I love a wordsmith.I much prefer when people send a quick note of introduction with their friend request if it isn't going to be immediately obvious what we have in common.Always happy to add bands I like the sound of. Go musicians!
For burlesque: Little Willie John, Lavay Smith and her Red Hot Skillet Lickers, Big Maybelle, Squirrel Nut Zippers, Ella Fitzgerald, Blossom Dearie, Frank Sinatra, Louis Prima, Cole Porter.For other parts of my life: Pretty much everything. I have very eclectic taste. I love trashy, sweaty, stadium rock - yes, even some of those raised-by-wild-poodles hair bands of yesteryear. I love to shake it down on the dancefloor to funk, R&B, some hip hop, pop. And I do go in for that indie stuff as long as it makes me swoon.
Valley of the Dolls, Beneath the Valley of the Ultravixens, Butterfield 8, Funny Face, Harold and Maude, Best In Show, Gosford Park, AND THIS MUSIC VIDEO:
I'm a complete whore for makeover shows.

Prince. Because he knows how to make a concert feel like a party. And because he played until dawn on New Years when I asked him to.
