About Me


You are a Goth Belly Dancer! Clad in black and
spinning the night away at the clubs, you find
that Arabic music and goth dancing just go
together. The ethnic police don't know what to
make of you, but you've always found yourself a
little outside of the norm, anyway. Snakes,
fire and swords often find their way into your
routine, and you wouldn't have it any other
way. See you at Burning Man!

When the show, at Brooklyn's Southpaw, was announced a month or so ago, I got all excited and bought a ticket right away. And then, no one else I hang out with did, and then the gig sold out. I was su...

My poor lungs

This photo is so disturbing. It's a cleaning crew powerwashing a building on the LES. Sure am glad I live in NYC and get to breathe all that junk in every day. Who knew the brick was so light-colored ...

Pam Grier's Afro

"An Afro holds up very well in action scenes. It gets wet, dries out, and fluffs right back up. It's handy when you need a pillow, and you can hide razor blades in there. I love to ride roller coaster...
