About Me

Hey, thanks for looking at my page. If you want to request me as a friend, please send me a message first. Just want to make sure you're not another person who wants me to subscribe to their webcam. Thanks.Grew up Christian and had to deal with a difficult coming-out process which included some time in an ex-gay ministry. That experience led me to the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence - a charitable guerilla theater organization. Those drag nuns changed my life and I'm very grateful.I love music - as you can probably tell from my playlists. I currently spin at the Eagle LA in Silver Lake on Friday nights. I hope to see you there. Stop by and say hello.I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
