Art at Large

FEM is more masculine than FEMME, so that appealed to me. (Sorry I couldn’t resist)....What I bring to burlesque is my passion for the things I love and a desire to share my weird/twisted/crazy/sexy stories with an audience. [...continue...]

I wrote about my experience at “Diaghilesque” in April, a night of burlesque and ballet and genderfuckery and much nudity presented by Kinetic Architecture and Faux Pas le Fae. It was a wild experience and it got me really, really thinking about bodies and art and sex. To whit: [...continue...]

I just had three poems accepted at a lovely lit journal, and spent the afternoon talking with someone at Silent Barn about an art installation made of porno DVDs. I won’t go into any details because none of this is set in stone yet and I don’t want to jinx anything, but it’s been [...continue...]

I got myself through the final, stressful days of my art show by listening to Low on repeat. I force myself to keep working when [...continue...]

But I am not doing that! (Oh, sweet jeebus, do I want to do that! So much to unpack! So much [...continue...]

You guys! You guys. You guys. (And non-guys, too.)
