About me: One of the following statements is false:
I am over 5' tall.
I spent the first year of my life in Margate NJ; my first memory is of Lucy, the hotel shaped like an elephant.
I graduated Temple University Radio/Television/Film (Go Owls!)
I am an independent filmmaker and my titles inlcude AGENT 15 (starring Paget Brewster), LE JEU DE KINDERSPIEL (with those irrascible Duffy twins), MOUN OF TUNIS PRESENTS PRINCESS FARHANA/BOOM BOOM: HOT BURLESQUE MOVES FOR COOL CHICKS (instructional dance videos) and my feature length documentary THE VELVET HAMMER BURLESQUE.
As a Costumer, I have worked on films and TV shows such as POPULAR, THE PRIZE WINNER OF DEFIANCE OHIO and CHUCK.
I was the centerfold of Barracuda Magazine, issue 12.
As my stage persona Penny Starr Jr, I was First Runner Up of the 2004 Miss Exotic World competition.
I produce both VICTORY VARIETY HOUR ("high fallutin' low-brow") and CLUB SCHMUTZIG (dark, dirty den of bygone debauchery) at El Cid in Los Angeles.
I am the only award winning filmmaker and award winning burlesque dancer.
Who I'd like to meet: Flappers, Fops, Dandies, Puppets, Dolls, Indie Filmmakers, Costumers, Burlesque dancers. And Investor/Patron/Sugar Daddy types--seriously, I'm just waiting for the right producer to swoop in and exploit me.
