The Four Agreements
see all our publications 1. Be Impeccable With Your Word
Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.
2. Don't Take Anything Personally
Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you wonít be the victim of needless suffering.
3. Don't Make Assumptions
Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.
4. Always Do Your Best
Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret.

Here's a description...
"Amber Ray's pageantry is reminiscent of many iconic genres of the past and present and a major force in the evolving future culture of popular art. Her chameleonic qualities measure vast differences and are sure to startle with grace, confrontation and fantastical flamboyance. She embodies the dream of other mythical worlds, reavealing her stature as a provacative exotic creature. Known for her many charactarized adventures based on collaborations with style makers such as Anti-gravity, Susanne Bartsch, Thierry Mugler, ChiCHI Valenti and Johnney Dynell of Jackie 60 Fame, and a thrivingly talented New York City Performance community composed of the freak chic, theater, fashion world, and burlesque.
You will find her most often musing the masses through various stage productions, art installations, sitting for severly talented painters, photograpers and designers as well as dazzling at High end events to which she ardently shares her love of style, luster, and her brand of spiritual artistic expression of the whimsical and the real.
Amber Ray is an artist, costume designer, singer, entertainer and all around creative force of nature residing in NYC. Brace Yourself for her power-packed manifestations of absolute fabulousness"
"...Creative Sexpot..."
-Ny Magazine
"My favorite model, Amber Ray, is a veritable chameleon...."
-Molly Crabapple for Village voice interview
"Amber Ray, Dressed as an orange and black butterfly, did not enter (the costume contest),but should have won every costume contest in town. on all four days. Someone give her something."
-Tricia Romano, Village Voice
"...A coffin painted by Poison's Rikki Rocket (used to dramatic effect by Burlesque vamp Amber Ray durring a live strip tease that included blood, glitter and a human chandelier (Muffinhead). Deathrocks flair for the theatrical never dies, does it?"
-Lina Lecaro, LA Weekly
"A mini-malitia of flamboyant performers has taken ahold of the floorboards,armed with outlandish themes, extroardary costumes and performances that leave the most jaded hipsters with mouth agape. Astonishingly, this battilion of BQ bad-asses all live in the heart and mind of one woman: Amber Ray. Since her arrival in NY 2 years ago, Amber Ray has become one of the most inventive and prolific performers in the burlesque and fetish scenes..."
-Kara Mae, Tease Magazine, issue #9 (6 page feature on AR titled "Genius in a G-string")
