About me: As an infant, I fell off the back of a gypsy caravan. Soon after, I was lauded at dinner parties throughout North Jersey for performing “Mein Herr” in a feather boa and a bowler hat.
I escaped over the Jersey border and lived a sordid life on the New York stage until, seduced by the legends of the Beat poets and the Beach Boys, I headed for sunnier shores.
I am a writer/graduate student by day and a neo-burlesque starlet by night - kind of like the ‘80s movie 'Angel,' but with more beaded fringe. I dance and sing with the Velvet Hammer Burlesque, Margaret Cho’s Sensuous Woman and at various other seedy speakeasies around the world. I am famous for my shimmy and for my naughty homage to the only truly cool Disney Princess.
I am also a bossy rock wife and a mouthy political activist. I work with Axis of Justice, Food Not Bombs, The Green Party and Amnesty International.
Look for my upcoming non-profit: Boobs Not Bombs.
Who I'd like to meet: burlesque fans, crocodile wrestlers, tap dancers, ukulele enthusiasts, circus freaks, snake charmers, calliope players, time travelers

LA area readings, discussions, and book signings with
Myriam Gurba, author of Dahlia Season...
The bzzz:
"Combining the spark of Michelle Tea, the comic angst of Augusten Burroughs, and the warmth of Sandra Cisneros, Chicana author Myriam Gurba has created a territory all her own. Dahlia Season, her debut collection, contains the title novella, a fast-paced riddle of madness and redemption narrated by Desiree Garcia, an undercover Chicana goth dyke. Ali Liebegott, author of The IHOP Papers, describes Garcia as the kind of 'sexy badass [girl] we rarely get to see in literature.' Several of Gurba's acclaimed stories are also included."
