1:11 pm - Free show today!!
I'm very proud to once again be part of Low Life at the Howl Festival! Sunday September 7th (That is TODAY!!) from 5-7pm in Tompkins square park

http://www.mothernyc.com/lowlife/index.html

LOW LIFE CITY was inspired by the seminal LUC SANTE book "LOW LIFE: The Lures and Snares of Old New York." It continues a body of work born at JACKIE 60 a decade ago, with past editions in London, Minneapolis and of course, last year's HOWL! For the show's producers, East Village residents for over two decades, this annual show is a Valentine to the neighborhood's past, present and future stars.

This year's superb cast is now complete - MCs PAUL ALEXANDER (of "The Ones") and HATTIE HATHAWAY, Bowery Belle DEBBIE HARRY, icon JOEY ARIAS with master puppeteer BASIL TWIST, burlesque supernovas DIRTY MARTINI, MISS DELIRIUM TREMENS and JONNY PORKPIE and NASTY CANASTA of PINCHBOTTOM BURLESQUE, GOON SQUAD featuring MISS GUY, drag divinity SWEETIE, butoh ensemble VANGELINE THEATER, WORLD FAMOUS *BOB*, LOGO song star ADAM JOSEPH as The Irish Tenor, slapstick drag duo DUELLING BANKHEADS, sister act ACID BETTY and EPIPHANY, sensationalist AMBER RAY, members of THE PIXIE HARLOTS, Bay Area artiste FAUXNIQUE, BLACKLIPS eminence POISON EVE and New Bowery treasures TRINA ROSE, HEATHER LITTEER aka JESSICA RABBIT DOMINATION and TIGGER!

It should be a blast, and did I mention, its FREE??

Hope to see you all there

10:45 am - Leaving a trail of glitter through Italy...
No I'm not performing, just shedding glitter.

I was in the bathroom, washing my face and on the side of the basin, i notice that fucking confetti glitter from the Pinchbottom Slumber Party in Pink show!

That stuff will plague me for the rest of my life!!!

I've also glittered the sheets thanks to the glitter caked inside every pair of shoes I own.

And I barely USE any of the damn stuff!!

oh the glamour!!

current mood: amused

3:19 pm - I love my daddy


Today is the one year anniversary of the day my father died. So I wanted to post a picture of him and his obituary:

Dr. Arthur H. Wilkins died March 14, 2007 in Manhattan. He had long suffered from Multiple Sclerosis and various associated ailments.

Born in New York City in 1918, Dr. Wilkins was raised in Kew Gardens Queens, the son of eastern European Jewish immigrants. He graduated from Columbia Grammar School, Yale University, and received his PhD in Sociology from the University of Chicago.

After teaching at Brown University, Dr. Wilkins moved into the field of Marketing Research, where he had a distinguished career as Director of Market Research at Papert Koenig Lois and at Grey Advertising, and served as President of the Market Research Council during 1975-6.

Dr. Wilkins was an erudite person with varied interests and an engaging sense of humor. One of his most abiding passions was jazz music, dating back to his days of growing up in New York. In his lively conversations, he was as likely to quote from the “Great American Songbook” as from Shakespeare.

He is survived by his wife of 37 years, Patricia, and their daughter Sarah; his first wife Kathleen and two of their children, Thomas, and Patricia Parker; six grandchildren and a great grandson; and his sister Shirley Liebowitz. His eldest son John died in 2003.

current music: fats waller

6:39 pm - POOH

Your Score: Eeyore


You scored 17 Ego, 16 Anxiety, and 11 Agency!




"Do you know what A means, little Piglet?"

"No, Eeyore, I don't."

"It means Learning, it means Education, it means all
the things that you and Pooh haven't got. That's what A means."

"Oh," said Piglet again. "I mean, does it?" he
explained quickly.

"I'm telling you. People come and go in this Forest,
and they say, 'It's only Eeyore, so it doesn't count.' They
walk to and fro saying 'Ha ha!' But do they know anything about
A? They don't. It's just three sticks to them. But to the
Educated--mark this, little Piglet--to the Educated, not
meaning Poohs and Piglets, it's a great and glorious A.

You scored as Eeyore!

ABOUT EEYORE: Eeyore lives in his own thistley corner of the forest and wonders why people don't come to visit him more often. He is master of the Guilt Trip, and is always gently forgiving his visitors for neglecting him. Eeyore considers himself to be smarter than the other inhabitants of the Hundred Acre Wood, and is often exasperated by their habit of having adventures and general merriment.

WHAT THIS SAYS ABOUT YOU: You are an anxious person, and you tend to expect the worst. Your friends find you somewhat cynical at times, because you have found that it is best to expect disappointment. You often feel unappreciated by the people you work with, but you rarely actually try and do anything to change that fact.

Your close friends admire you more than you think they do. They wish that you would learn to stop worrying so much and actually start trying to fix what is bothering you. If something is making you unhappy... change it!

4:15 am - Cat??
I found a cat tonight.
He was running past my door, i said hi kitty and he stopped, then followed me up the stairs.


We cannot take him. We put out food and water.

Does anyone want him? He's sweet as hell, very very friendly. Definitely homeless (skinny, torn ear) but very cute and apparently healthy.

I really want to find a home for him. He's adorable and so friendly. Vocal too.

I don't know if he'll be hanging around, though with the food (he was so hungry) he likely will be.

Please, someone take him. My heart is totally breaking. if we didnt have 3 (one of whom has been extremely ill this summer) I would totally take him myself.

Anyone!?!?

12:48 pm - Free tonight? Come to Galapagos!!
If you haven't seen many burlesque performers, this is a really
wonderful opportunity to see a wide range at a good price, while
helping out an organization near and dear to my heart, the Exotic
World Burlesque Hall of Fame. Dress up and come out!

It is also rob's actual bday today--so come wish him the best!!

Wednesday 5/23 LAS VEGAS or BUST! Exotic World Benefit @ Galapagos
(Williamsburg, Brklyn)
Amber Ray invites you to:
LAS VEGAS OR BUST! (Or Both!)
Striptease might seem like a transitory art form,
over as soon as the clothing hits the floor. But the
Exotic World Burlesque Museum is proving quite the
opposite. Founded originally by Burlesque Star Jenni
Lee in the Mojave desert decades ago, it was passed on
to golden age burlesque queen Dixie Evans in 1989.
Exotic World collects the playbills, feather fans,
lip-prints, and jewel encrusted garters of our
centuries greatest peelers. But now, Exotic World is
looking for a new home...in Las Vegas.
Amber Ray, a veteran New York City burlesque dancer
and nightlife personality, is throwing a Las Vegas
themed burlesque benefit for the world's only
striptease museum.
On May 23rd, look out for "Las Vegas or Bust (or
Both): A Benefit for The Exotic World Burlesque
Museum."
The party promises showgirl go-go, raffles, auctions,
and burlesque numbers by Dirty Martini, Delirium Tremens, Angie
Pontani, Jo Boobs, Nasty Canasta, and many other top NYC dancers.

All money raised will go to getting Exotic World a
permanent home in Las Vegas.

Las Vegas or Bust! (Or Both!) happens on Wednesday
May 23rd, 2007
at Galapagos Art Space
(70 North 6th Street, between Kent and Wythe.
Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NY 11211. 718 782-5188)
8pm until 2am. $15 Cover.
$10 if you come in Vegas theme suggested dress: Boas,
Pearls, Gowns, Showgirl, Fear and Loathing, Casino,
Dealer, Lady of the night, Rat Pack and Black Jack!
