To say I loved Lynn Breedlove’s newest book “Lynnee Breedlove’s One Freak Show” would be a bit of an understatement, I had to read the thing twice before I could even decide how I wanted to review it! The first time was a quick read in less than 24 hours (I couldn’t put it down), [...]

Johnny Blazes and I met when we had the pleasure of working together as part of the 2008 tour of The Femme Show.

As someone whose performance work is almost exclusivly word based, I also really [...]
I got linked to this on Facebook this evening, and wanted to pass the info along to all of you!
