because then you will lose the ability to learn new things and move
forward with your life. Remember that fear always lurks behind
perfectionism. Confronting your fears and allowing yourself the right
to be human can make yourself a happier and more
productive person
Live your life with your arms wide open~
Luv Always, ~Toot~

I, along with Dana Lorge, am hosting a weekly variety show in NYC at The Iguana VIP Lounge in the heart of NYC (240 West 54th Street 8-11PM/with an intermission). We are calling the show WEDNESDAY NIGHT AT THE IGUANA! What we are doing is NOT being done anywhere else! Each week we will feature 5 entertainers. Other entertainers that show up will be inserted throughout the show as time permits/this is done by lottery! AND each are joined by Barry Levitt on keyboard and Saadi Zain on bass.Each week will be different. The price is ONLY $10.00 with NO food or drink minimum (although the food at The Iguana is top notch). This is a nice night out with the family! The show will also be done with class and elegance. My goal is a "throw back" to the variety shows I grew up with. For more info on me, please visit www.RichardSkipper.com
