about me
Well,
I love to dance most of all. I have a very "loud" presence. I dress odd and to excess, dance wild, love to perform, and play like a child. Don't talk to others much though, as I have spent most of my life a loner, I never really got the social conversation thing down. most people interpret this as stuck up, when I am actually just scared silly of people.
I started going to clubs many years ago, as well renfairs, rainbow gatherings, burning man, and various other types of festivals and gatherings, I have emersed myself into practicaly every culture since new wave...(punk, goth, glam, heavy metal, industrial, rave, hippie, rockabilly, reggea etc...) Some say "poser" I say bored!
"Scenes" usually have little substance. We go out for contact. As I am, not good at the social game I have adopted performance as my way of interacting and expressing myself. I do everything from bellydance to bondage, all sorts of fire performance, choeriography, ran a performance troupe, created a nightclub/circus arts venue, created one of the first web sites and weekly emails dedicated to uniting the artists and performers of the various tribes, created a rubber cyber/erotic fetish/fantasy clothing company, orginized large underground parties called Cirquanalia, and various other things to unite, and inspire people to remember their child. and treat every moment like a playground. I was working very hard to create a place that was not shallow in LA.
And for the first time in my life I felt purpose, proud, and appreciated. though still socially "special" people loved what I was doing. then it all fell apart. The building owner got the building torn down. shoe string budget became debt, and then I broke up with a girlfriend of ten years. the combined effect of losing everything I had ever cared about, left me homeless, hopeless, and broken. I lost it to the point of talking at trees with a shopping cart. To think anything was to remember so I let go completely.
It did not help, and something snapped. Here I am now. reaching out, hoping and dreaming again. My plans are clearer, my will and intent are sharp and concise to succeed. I am aquiring the neccassary funds currently, and preparing the steps, so I can get the new space hopefully about 6 to 8000-sq ft and start the club/circus/clothing and various other plans.
My life has been odd and hard, and sometimes embarrissing. but I am glad that I went through it finally. now I have the tools and knowledge to give something significant back to the world that blessed me with my life.
