Fiona Apple, Portishead, Tom Waits, Tori Amos, A Perfect Circle, Poe, Green Day, Ani DiFranco, Radiohead, JC Chasez, The 22-20s, Emilie Autumn, Nina Simone, Beck and many others that I'm not thinking of at the moment.
Movies
Just off the top of my head: Amelie, Moulin Rouge, Dangerous Liaisons, Labyrinth, The Lion in Winter, Noises Off, The Adventures of Robin Hood (the Errol Flynn version), The Three Musketeers (the '70s version), The Great Muppet Caper, The Princess Bride, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, House of Flying Daggers, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Television
Not much of a TV watcher, actually, but I'm a dedicated viewer of Simpsons reruns. I used to watch Buffy and Angel, but alas, they are no more. Grey's Anatomy is love and I also watch House, because Hugh Laurie is a stubbly, bitchy sex god.
Books
I could go on forever, but favorites include The Vintner's Luck, by Elizabeth Knox, A Pilgrim at Tinker Creek, by Annie Dillard, Wonder Boys, by Michael Chabon, The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Brideshead Revisited, by Evelyn Waugh, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, by Hunter S. Thompson, The Lyre of Orpheus, by Robertson Davies, The Virgin in the Garden, by A. S. Byatt and The Left Hand of Darkness, by Ursula LeGuin.

To see more of me (like, *a whole lot* more if you know what I mean and I think you do), view my fine art modeling portfolio here (although not if you're under 18):
NOTE: If you're under 18, I've got nothing against you, but I'm not going to add you as a friend. I mean, I was eighteen once too--THIRTEEN YEARS AGO.
NOTE THE SECOND: I am not a swinger, nor am I a dominatrix. Also, I don't "chat."
NOTE THE THIRD: If you can answer yes to any ONE of the following questions, I will probably accept your friend request:
1) Do you live close enough to Chicago to come see my show?
2) Are you in any way connected to the visual or performing arts?
3) Do I know you in real life?
4) Are you a burlesque performer or serious aficionado?
If you can not answer yes to any of those questions, chances are that I will not accept your friend request. I have an additional prejudice against pages with thousands of friends and pages that display an unreasonable number of thongs. Seriously, people.
My tribute to Gypsy Rose Lee's famous Talking Strip.
See why they call me the Risqué Russian!
Who I'd like to meet: People born in the wrong decade, or even the wrong century.

George "The Administrator" of BurlesqueCommunity.com who made appearances at both events announced the promotion at the conclusion of last night’s performance in Montreal. He said, “Our support of Burlesque Performers is one of both time and money.” He added, “Based on the current membership of the site this promotion represents another US$2,700 commitment and one that will be beneficial for the entire community.”

I mean really is it? A couple of years ago, MySpace use to be where it’s at. Folks were conversing with each other, like really conversing. They were connecting with each other. MySpace use to be a place where like minded individuals could communicate and share interests. Man! I use to be put up on sooooo many indie bands through this site.
Nowadays, it seems as though most people are here solely to stunt and promote. Not that there is anything wrong with promoting. Hell, I always plug my going-ons on MySpace… Like my video blog --YouTube.com/ChasityChaos (shameless self-promotion). This is a great venue to make people aware of happenings, but what happened to the real connections? What happened to the dialog? What happened to the silliness? I miss it!
These days, I spend more time on FaceBook (FaceBook.com/ChasityChaos). So much time, that I have actually been contemplating the necessity of my MySpace page… So I am writing this message to ask all of the MySpacers of the world… Should I give up on MySpace, delete my page and turn to another social site for nourishment, or do you feel in your heart of hearts that there is a possibility of MySpace being resurrected?
Yes, yes, yes… I finally drank the Kool-Aid. I never thought that I would start a video blog, but I decided – with the persuasion of my friends – to go for it! I mean what the hell, you only live once. Besides, as much as I like to write, sometimes it’s better to show than to tell.
I kinda started it on a whim. With my music, the burlesque, the photography and all of the other passions I am currently pursuing, I know that this is gonna be an exciting and trying, yet fulfilling journey and I would like you guys to come with me!
Check out my first Vlog. If you like it, please subscribe to my videos and leave me comments and questions. Thanks for your love and support.
Happy Birthday n stuff. :P I owe you big fat hugs! I still am doing the burlesque playing card set. I'll be getting a hold of you soon about this with all info. Let the other ladies know. I have plenty of car spots to fill. Hugs~Bradley
