photo by Miss Oblivious

SO here we are 2011, I hear this is the year!
i feel this is the year! to become stronger, successful,more inspired, feeling the empowerment, its time for that new revolution it has been over 5 years and with every 5 years comes a new sensation. I feel i have learned so goddamn much, have grown even more spiritually and driven into the right direction.Yet still feel empty and lost at times.."so is life"
I have been told that things are about to change!
I taste things are about to change!

I have been told that birds falling from the sky is more common than you may think?
I BEG TO DIFFER!
High end fashion is still evil but oh so classy..or so i have been told...it is time for females to take over again ,we have sat back the last few years: it is way to comfortable!
Be a Slut, Be out-spoken cause the more things that are shamed/denied/hidden and disguised, the longer it will take the nimrods to just get used to it!!!!
Cause they are most likely "doin it to" just undercover/in the closet..
Make mistakes it is how we learn...
and most of all be FORGIVING no one is perfect!!!
"oh wait" and most most most important use protection!!!!!


speaking of birds..

we need to ruffle ALOT of feathers,
piss in the river
and open our mouths ,eyes and ears to overpower the idiots,

get the attention that your mother always warned you ABOUT!!!!!!
you know mom always said "that was the "Wrong" way to get attention", HELL
cause that kind of attention: it's EMPOWERING to your woman hood!

Take photos of your naked body!!

I am sooo sick of seeing the inflated tits and oompa loompa tanned torso!!!!!
I want to see pasty skin, i want to see REAL....
shadows and bitches!!!!!
touchy feel-eeeeeeeeeee...
gush about you, your self,
your friends ....BE PROUD
go create~ make something!
.have some tea with your friends,
.get a crush( i don't care if your married),
.gossip,
. bond over a bottle of champagne
(cause god-dam-nit you only live once and we all really need to make every minute count).

Maybe you haven't done much lately but you did in the past?
then start something new!!!
ITS TIME LADIES!!!
UNITE..
CONQUEER...
CREATE...
NOW
something, anything!!
and travel..please travel
go places that make you uncomfortable!!!!!
FUCK Hawaii,
FUCK Vegas,
FUCK those plastic reality TV sensations
to be con't.....

on a self-absorbed note...I am currently working on my largest installation which will be in a gorgeous 1920's window front in San Francisco on Guerrero at 25th..I am aiming to have it completed by the end of February!
Zines,dolls,paintings,and photographs of SF eccentrics....
whores,queens,madmen n more

over-acheivers,go-getters and heartaches

foto by Lammy Dammy
Here we are friends, the end of one of the greatest years 2010. I have been overly productive, I spent 30 days total in New Orleans this year, five weeks in California and the rest in the NW.
I vow to spend more time in Portland this year and to visit some new p[laces, maybe Tennessee/Austin/Rome and Berlin those are my visionary vacations that I'd like to bring the dollies to, and show em off they do love to travel...
I produced about twenty five shows this year and will plan on doing half as many in 2011, my soul can't be spread so thin.
EVERYDAY i DREAM OF WAKING UP IN NEW ORLEANS, WALKING IN THE QUARTER HAVING LATE-NITES HOPPING FROM ONE DECREPIT DRINKING HOLE TO ANOTHER.
For now I am happily nestled in the NW. I have fallen in love again with SF, the warm sun on my body felt divine last week, driving over the bay bridge in the morning with Jayne County blaring from the Speakers...priceless..
My soul is torn...I may have three lovers now!!!just what i needed!!!!NOLA,SEATTLEI know i need to bring in a higher income this year to survive and to get me to where i need to be!
i will start my grant writing skills so i can create installations and performances and not rely on buyers and voyeurs so much,I have deleted my website, and have decided to be a lil less in the public eye, i feel that there are vultures out there trying to poke and peck at my eyes and heart, giving to much takes away from my creativity, as I learned the hard way in 2008, yet i am filled with the love and inspiration from others, finding the balance is the true trick.

A recent Tarot reading for ye ol' heart



This is a period for communication, a period for social life, for meeting new people. Pursue new activities. You'll find in them the solution to many problems; you'll be positively surprised. 



You need to think about you. You have to take a break; you are dominated by the speed at which events are happening without realizing that you've forgotten about you and your feelings. You have the support of your friends. Enjoy loneliness! It will help you discover what you really want but can't have yet. You'll find love sooner than expected.



Look at all the things that surround you. A new kind of energy has sprung in you, filling you with love; it is time now to learn how to use all this. Enjoy even the smaller things of life. Your bright ideas will favor the people around you. Favorable period to start a stable relationship.

You are seeing the results of your efforts and this stimulates you; you’re getting closer to the goals that you’ve set. Think carefully before taking any decision, this is a period of drastic changes in your life. You'll have enough confidence to move forward with courage and not to give up. Period of spiritual growth. A dream will be reborn. New lovers and relationships.



TEMPERANCE AND DREAMS: You have to set goals, objectives, dreams; those are the things that give meaning to our lives. Be confident; you'll achieve everything that you want because you have the energy and strength to do it.



This is a favorable period for friendship. Let new people enter in your life. Discover new and interesting friends in your workplace or college. You'll feel protected by people who love you and respect you. Suggest new and exciting activities to share with your friends; you'll live unforgettable moments.


JUSTICE AND SEX: During this period it is very likely that your personal conflicts will affect sex with your partner. You'll feel confused, and even in some occasions, you'll have to pretend to be alright. Try to talk about this with some intimate friend because the negative consequences of this period may affect the future stability of your relationship. If you don't have a partner, be sensible when selecting one.

Each show was very special and i like to think very different from the others, from cabaret trash,gutter glamor,glittery bunny bottoms to raw ear candy!

The new project i am involved with debut in Sf and OAkland, we had a great response..People drove far to perform and I had my first art show "in" OAkland, which it happened to be the first night of heavy rain so attendance was low but we had a blast none the less!

Salon du Troll/Vortex Room hosts MIss O's Female FRont 2010 SF



The Vortex room is a sort of home away from home for me. Since 2006 I do a few shows a year there with my very lovely pirate in crime Dog Swan.
I had taken a year long hiatus from the bay area due to all my New Orleans traveling, n dolly stitching.
Yet as always my homesick ache for the bay creeps in and I need my fix!
This was my fourth show for Female Front 2010. I promised SailorHank an opening spot,he practiced for a month solid,costume shopped and most def got his drag on as you see here...

he was so graciously followed by Hollywood/Paris superstar Veronique with Transylvania vamping n rhymes cabaret .
Mary st Meri read song poetry which i accidentally missed as I was aiding SailorHAnk with a costume change to accompany Dame Darcy's sea-shanty set...I played a slide-show of images i have captured in the last 6 or 7 years between sets..Alot of pals showed up for this night and it was great to see all of you!


We were also lucky enough to have one of my fave SF dj legends Neel Boyett spin some funky,soulful 70's sounds along with my long-time mate DJ Joan MArrow with her dark wave.no-wave ambiance...

Lady E graced us with angelic raspy escapades


DAme DArcy was up in her most breathtaking 1920's Mermaid attire......my heart swooned and i had to refrain from blushing! I love her shanties...


I was very very very honored to include an installation of art for the Vortex room by one of my female photo heroes Ruby RAy..she really empowered my youthful eye candy with my yearning to have been a bit older in 1977 to experience the west coast art and punk movement..she did a fine job of capturing all of it and now displays psychedelic collages with lens twirls and hidden messages....

Dog Swan and Ronni Guitar wrapped up the entertainment with hot rod, goo-roo, matching facade....oh what a finale'.....

BUT the night was NOT over, a night is not a night without a pile up in one of Dogs rev~ving beauties of metal from the 1960's..an early breakfast followed by cruising the empty streets of the city , chilled-joy, laps overlapped and friends....nothing quite like it......I heart u all........
