About me: ** If you are interested in booking a private boudoir or pin-up photo shoot, please contact me about my new collaboration with photographer Cate Corbitt!!**
I love drunken tree climbing, the perfect last bite, old photos of my parents. I fear baby corn. I hate Sean Penn. I once got my head caught in a ceiling fan, and I don't have a favorite color anymore.
Here's one story...
Rose Pistola is a solo practitioner of "Vintage, Modern and
Death-Defying Burlesque." A classic beauty with a twisted sense of reality, gender, and sexuality, this gal is like a trip to the beauty parlor on acid, a trip to the whorehouse with grandma, or a trip down the stairs. You may find her in many of the indecorous and holy joints around the city and beyond... "To entertain the company of Rose is to lightly roll your heart over shards of broken glass, to enthusiastically draw small abrasions across your soul and fall slowly into the sea of salt, to orchestrate your own demise one dance at a time and crumbling to your knees beg for more, to.....well you get the picture."
I'm a costume and tiny hat maker, and I also have a line of costume inspired clothing and haberdashery for sale about town. For more info, just drop me a line!
Who I'd like to meet: Rebels, troublemakers, wallflowers, experts, savvies, queers, show offs, someone to clean my room... People who don't harbor preconcieved notions, and can ignore first impressions once in a while. People who can fool with the best of them, but whose hearts are true.
People who appreciate good theories as well as good shoes.
People who can get into a good clean debate or a down and
dirty tussle.

Only a true artiste has the fibre and depth to truely appreciate the cocktail bonnet... It is more than an accessory! It is a state of being.. And you shall have one!
It was so good to see you last night. You must have summoned Blixa by mentioning his name. I can't believe we were there for that. *dies* Earlier in the day Nick walked right in front of Lia and I while we were outside.
Tonight Rose will be impersonating Elvis as performed by the Indra...Thanks for loaning me your costume and your act... I looked so retarded... I looked like an angry trucker dyke pimp as Elvis... YOU look MUCH better as Elvis... You own the retardedness... I so did not own the retardedness... sigh.. I think it's much easier for me to own the retardedness when I'm not thinking "What would Rose do?"
