Books
The Fountainhead, Lolita, The Virgin Suicides, Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption, biographies... I lurrrve biographies! I also love reading on the history of NYC, especially Brooklyn. I'm a fan of nonfiction, specifically focused on courtesans, girly shows, sideshow performers, strippers of all kinds, old actors, serial killers and the history of the Gowanus Canal.
My book wish list: Patti Waggin' bio (out in the Spring) and the bio of Evelyn Nesbit. If ever you are looking to buy me a gift, is all I'm saying....
Heroes
Both of my Moms: Burlesque Mom, Jo "Boobs" and actual birth Mother, Rene' "Flea" Whittaker, my auntie Whitney, and Phyllis my Obaasan!
About me: After years of desk jockeying for "the man", this Gal Friday decided to take her talents and apply them to the stage. The lady that once typed 70 words a minute, with a sardonic smile on her face and a clever quip playing on her lip, is now one of New York's Burly-Q bombshells. She can be found performing all throughout NYC. Hiding a gal like this behind a desk is a crime!!!
Gal co-produces "THE SKULLDUGGERY AND SKIN SHOW" alongside the magical mind of ALBERT CADABRA, the first Saturday of every month at THE PALACE OF WONDERS in Washington, DC.
Gal Friday performed at the 2008 Miss Exotic World Pageant in Sin City, Las Vegas!
Gal was also Miss Coney Island 2009. Supa sweet!
