I did it all for SAMO

About Me

I am a documentary filmmaker, cinematographer, art show curator, ballet teacher, choreographer, professional dancer and rising burlesque starlet who is obsessed with fashion and all that is frivolously fabulous.
Mark your calendars, BURLESQUE-A-GO-GO is the THIRD THURSDAY of every month at MR. T'S BOWL in Highland Park. We will see you at THE BOWL on THURSDAY, JULY 17th!!! Be there or ELSE!

And Bump & Grind Boot Camp is here!! Classes begin SATURDAY, JULY 13th and continue through SUNDAY, AUGUST 10th!!

On SATURDAY, JULY 5th we kick off the month with SATISFACTION at The Bordello.

Then join me on MONDAY, JULY 14th at The Monday Night Tease as we pay tribute to the brillance of Quentin Tarantino.

My Interests

Art, Art and more Art - it could be music, visual, dance whatever motivates people to express their emotions and exercise their demons.

I'd like to meet:

Some kind (rich) soul who is interested in financing my Jean-Michel Basquiat Documentary

Music:

I'm all over the board when it comes to music. I have a slight obsession with Jane's Addiction and Sonic Youth, an ongoing love affair with The Clash and The Ramones, and a unhealthy commitment to Greg Dulli, Lou Reed and The Velvet Underground.

Movies:

I love movies that defined an era; MGM musicals, Black Exploitation movies, 70's sex flicks etc...and being a race conscious, paranoid, bitter, neurotic, New Yorker explains my weakness for Woody Allen and Spike Lee.

Television:

I am not a big television person, but I do have a few weaknesses; The Wire, America's Next Top Model (hey, at least I'm admitting my cheese) and Six Feet Under.

Books:

I adore JT LeRoy and eagerly devour anything and everything that he writes. I also have a fascination with Bret Easton Ellis and Jim Carroll.

Heroes:

Heroes and Heroines are in no particular order: Patti Smith, Joe Strummer, Lena Horne, Dorothy Dandridge, Chuck D, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Yoko Ono, Malcolm X, Kim Gordon, Bianca Jagger, Betsy Johnson, Josephine Baker, Cornel West, Hunter S. Thompson, Oscar Micheaux, Angela Davis, Frida Kahlo and many, many more...
