documentaries, indie films, DJing, traveling, hydrolic robots, crafts, cool chick magazines like Bust and Ms., funny music, karaoke, healthy food and learning how to make it. animation. gender fucking.
Craig Baldwin's, Martha Colburn's, Micki Polklar's, assorted indie films, documentaries. "Constantine." God vs. the Devil movies. "Harold and Maude." "The Jerk." "Men in Black." "by hook or by crook." "thank you for smoking." And "Arise" always seems to get me in the mood. Praise Bob!
When I'm in the US I like Rollergirls, The L Word, Wife Swap.
when I'm back home in Berlin I watch the Simpsons in German, but only once in a while. too much to do in Berlin to watch tv.
Books
I like Laurie Foos and Erika Lopez. Cruddy by Linda Berry was wicked! Michelle Tea, Tom Robbins. Tom Spanbauer. I used to love Russian lit. I always love books on strange music and many books on women and art.
Heroes

I've had a lot of stage names in the past, Mary Magdelane on a Stretcher, Flying Jesus, King Leah. In 1998 I joined the Church of the Subgenius and needed a new one. I wanted something that was tough and cool like Cleopatra Jones and something that was feminist, sexy and silly. A friend suggested the name and it fit like a glove. I thought it was so perfect as my aim in those days was to make awkwardness sexy and sexy awkward. I wore my underwear over my clothes and used props like a dildo harness with a three headed plastic hypodermic needle, duct tape, giant metal boots, plastic hands and funny hats. I wanted people to say vagina when they saw me and feel strange about what they thought it was before. I'm a woman, so it fits, but what does what I do have anything to do with this organ? Vagina means everything you think it means, but it also has connotations to it I like to explore: sex, blood, birth, vulnerability, pleasure, pain, etc
When I do performances on stage I purposely go in unexpected directions, ones that appear to have absolutely nothing to do with it. By doing so I create new meanings and question again and again how I define Vagina. It's not just a hole to pee from or have sex with and it's not the only thing that makes me a woman. (That said, I don't believe all women have them.) And if I am redefining it's connotations, I hope that the audience will do the same.
VAGINA JONES
"Few cassettes have terrified me as much as the tape I received from Vagina Jones (AKA Berlin-based artist King Leah). Shouts, scrapes, and a pitilessly long yet compelling track called "His Name Is Gomez" remain burned in my brain for life." Chistopher Delaurenti

Dafür würde so mancher seine gesamten Habseligkeiten veräussern. Die Indie-Legende, unsere Lieblingsschotten hautnah, zum anfassen im Bang Bang Club! Bevor in wenigen Wochen der " The Life Pursuit"-Nachfolger in den Läden stehen wird, kommen die Glasgower zu einem exklusiven DJ-Gig nach Berlin und zeigen schon an den Plattentellern, wo die musikalische Reise hingeht. Unterstützt wird von den Motor.de Djs und den King Kong Kicks Djs Christian Vorbau & Dominik Grötz. Für alle die, keine Karte für die Mumford & Sons Show kürzlich im Magnet ergattern konnten, stellen wir vor der DJ-Runde noch Langhorne Slim (USA) auf die Bühne. Kommt vorbei, es wird euer Schaden nicht sein.
