My best guy La JohnJoseph - here we are trannying it up at Galapagos:
As a good Sagittarius, my main heroes are my teachers - all who came before, those who are here now and all of those on their way. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your strength of expression, artistic integrity, ferocity, and the abundant inspiration you give me. I love you Lili St. Cyr, Bettie Page, Tempest Storm, Dixie Evans, Julie Atlas Muz, World Famous *BOB*, Dirty Martini, Jo Boobs, Little Brooklyn, Immodesty Blaize, Pinchbottom, Kittie Klaw, Fancy Chance, Foxy Tann and my NYC and London girls! Thank you for inspiring me to be the best dancer and performer I can be.
I love Bjork - one of the most fiercely independent and individualistic artist that I am aware of on the world's stage. And Mae West for being so g-d true to her leonine nature and owning it.
And crazy geniuses who come up with things like this:
About me: If you want to be my friend, be sweet and send me a message along with your request, won't you? Friend requests out of left field or by people whose profiles are private are deleted with glamorous efficacy...

Who I'd like to meet: transatlantic travelers, dancers, twirlers, friends, enthusiasts, muses, bacchanalian deviants, enablers of joy, champions, ambidextrous wonders of the world, those who come in second place, people who suprise and delight, wide-eyed spirits of ecstasy, fire-breathers/eaters, snake charmers, people tattooed within an inch of their lives, and most importantly, those who focus on what they love and follow their hearts, especially if it involves taking ones clothes off!
