About Me

I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

Bonbon's Merchandise can be found at www.cafepress.com/bonbonvivant.

My Interests



Rock n' roll, architecture/architectural history, burlesque, go-go and sewing. Playing with my Dora and Porter. Remodeling my house. Watching my garden grow.

I'd like to meet:

Ira Glass and Garrison Kiellor. This is probably a dead giveaway that I'm one of those NPR people. I have thus far managed to avoid wearing turtlenecks though.

Music:

Lordy, where to begin? The Stooges, Count Five, Ramones, Johnny Thunders, MC5, The Barracudas, Pandoras, Vagrants, Austin's most fabulous Ugly Beats, Slayer, AC/DC, Hank Williams, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Hank Thompson, The Sons of Hercules, Roy Brown, Wynonie Harris, Motorhead, Django Reinhardt, Josephine Baker, The Dwarves, Skip James, Tommy Johnson, the High Dials, the Mummies, Motley Crue, the Priests, Judas Priest, Mary Dixon, Patsy Cline, Janice Martin, Thee Headcote/ees, Elvis, Gene Vincent, Velvet Underground, Hank Thompson, The Go-Gos, Venom, The Fall, The Epoxies, the Who, Webb Pierce, the Damned, Count Basie, Bessie Smith, X, the Racketeers, Darkbuster, Joy Division, Sisters of Mercy, James Hand, James Brown, Gatemouth Brown, the Sonics, the Chocolate Watch Band, Thirteenth Floor Elevators, Teengenerate....and lots and lots of other stuff. I don't like polka, although the outfits are charming.

Movies:

Anything with Joan Crawford. I love Fritz Lang. I have a healthy addiction to pretty much all film noir and 1930's melodrama. Oh, and the Coen Brothers.

Television:

The History Channel. TV Land. Back when I had cable that is.

Books:

Too many to choose from. I have a mini-library.

Heroes:

Dogs are my heroes.
