KOOK TEFLON : KOOK's exit from 2011

Welcome to my thoughts,feelings and experiences for 2011

Always remember
"We all die the goal is not to live forever, but to create something that will"

2011 has been an adventure!

First I want to thank ERZULIE for helping my dreams come true I honor her everyday along with my "Teflon Sisters bond"-

I have been busy writing my Novella with POPS
" Bereavement Louisiana Socialite" which has been fun ,very challenging and very exciting!!!

Plus I have a new music project-
(after an 8 year hiatus)
"THE WITCHES TITTIES"
with Jen Gaye, Amber, Rio,
Neil Rogers and Xtina B
with backups by our "hype witches" Dustin Curtis and POPS

Teflon Sisters zine must also continue in 2012

I want to give alot of thanks and gratitude to DAMEBUILDER

and my tarot queen SCARLET FOUNDRY TAROT guru XTINA

and my BFF since 1986 KAREN
for sharing the magic of New Orleans to me it has changed my soul forever more....

Thank gawdess above that SISTER SPIT still tours and inspires with some of the queerest talented folks of our generation

At an Alabaster Choad rehearsal April 2010 Miss Oblivious left and KOOK Teflon took her place, I have explained this numerous times that through the Hecate' Tattoo that was drawn by Jack Shit- of me as Hecate' (witch goddess protector of outcasts of the night) guided this transition.

A video I produced for "Kelli's Starlite Wishes" The Swan Initiative
was featured on NME's British Mag Website

I missed Mardi Gras which really put me in a funk, but I let it go and moved on, I helped Vockah Redu get to Seattle for pride week witch was very very hard work and even more fun we even went to Sir Mix Alots recording studio!!!!!!

I attended my first Jazz Fest,
went on tour driving all the way down to L.A n back, that was amaze!!!

The Greer Lankton exhibit in Hollywood was exquisite and my fave of all year! Thank you Paul Monroe!!! Also I was on James St James web show!!!!! Got kisses from Holly Woodlawn and shared a hotel with DarbyJane and Lee Kyle!!! HIGHLIGHTS these are HIGHLIGHTS peeps!!!!

My goal is to be living in NOLA by 2014 We are working really hard to pay of any debts so that we can buy our dream home, I really want a southern structure that is at least 150 years old with high ceilings ,chipped paint doors and enough room to have continuous guests.Refurbished bathroom and kitchens a must.....
