About Me

I'm so bad at this...I wish I knew James St. James, he'd have something FABULOUS to say I'm sure.I'm a domestically well traveled and unsettled queer. I've lived in Tulsa OK, Champaign IL, Indianapolis IN, Los Angeles CA, and Portland OR where I now not only reside, but reign and rule the land. Been on tour with Cirque Du Soleil and also traveled a great deal with my first "real job" in California. So between moving, touring, and that job, I've pretty much seen and spent a decent amount of time in all the major cities in the US. However, Vancouver BC is so far my favorite city that I've been to. Did you know that 7 out of 10 home owners there grow their own weed?My middle name is Sundown. NO my parents weren't fuckin' hippies, god damnit to hell and back...As clearly evidenced by the alabaster/reflective nature of my skin, it comes from the Cherokee Indian part of my family...Was hell to deal with when I was growing up, but I dig it now...It's THuper!I can't even tell you how many times I've been asked "Are you that kid from 'A Christmas Story' ?". When I lived in LA, we'd actually make bets on how many times I'd be asked that night..."Yeah, and now I'm in porn.", used to be my standard response. It was either that or bitch slap them. In their defense, I do kinda' look like that "kid", especially if I shave. I was "mobbed" several times the Christmas of my third grade year at Disney World.I've met a few celebs in my short lifespan thus far. I've had the honor of briefly speaking with Diamanda Galas, and have heard a voicemail left by her Mother on a friend's phone. As for the average, run-of-the-mill, garden variety celebs well...I've met CHER! Yes that's right queens, eat it up I met CHER...neener neener neener. Also met Candice Bergen, Juliette Lewis, Sean Hayes, Gary Busey, Gwen Stefani, Johnny Knoxville, gave a "high five" to Celine Dion (I know *ick*), and have partied in Val Kilmers house...and I have his underwear and a video to prove it! Val if you want it back, call me on the cell. Oh yeah, and I didn't put that dent in your Volvo!I bought a record player off of eBAY and since then, spend WAY too much money on vinyl. How very Portland Oregon of me. Some of my best finds include "Sticky Fingers" by The Stones (OG COPY WITH THE ZIPPER), Patty Smith - Horses, Iggy Pop - New Values (I'm the Chairman of the BORED...HAHAHAHAHA!), The Ramones - Rocket to Russia, and The Velvet Underground and Nico - The Velvet Underground, just to name a few. If any of you bitches have a copy of either one of Jobriath's LPs...HAND 'EM OVER! Oh and I have EVERY Diamanda Galas album on vinyl too...so THERE!My favorite bourgeois diva on the planet right now is Anastacia and she should be yours too!Your results:

Here's a quote from her that I love...I intend to add more:“Bono’s like ‘opposed to genocide’, but guess what? He got all his money from Seagrams and all these companies that are responsible for the imperialistic fuckin’ rape of all these countries. And once he’s got all this money he can walk around like Bob Geldof, like some fuckin’ good housekeeping woman, putting the world to rights. He’s such a fuckin’ jerk – he’s got that Napoleonic urge that extremely short people have, you know? He’s an ugly little fuck; he makes me physically ill." - Diamanda Galas
