Shivering in Antici...
I’m not quite sure how old I was the first time I went to a midnight showing of the Rocky Horror Picture Show. I would say I was somewhere around 14 or 15 years old. I remember being shocked, amazed, and intrigued. I loved the energy. I loved the music. And, more than anything, I loved the…

Something New for ABQ
Most of you know that I am a burlesque performer. Most of you know that I am very proud of what I do, and the international community that supports the burlesque movement. Every day I learn something new, and am in awe of and inspired by what performers in this genre are doing. It is one of the most eclectic and jaw-dropping performance mediums I have ever known. The traditional bump, grind, and tease aside - burlesque is…

Morning Fix: Royale with Cheese

my light green thumb appreciates the true skill of others
I was thinking today about how it's finally summertime. The pool near my house brims with kids and floaties and sunscreen daily. All the animals at the Zoo can be heard chattering away late into the evening. And my tummy has started to crave all the fresh local summer produce that I yearn for during the cold winter months.
One of the many things I love about… Continue

Fat Man & Little Boy ON THE MOVE!
Two of the most controversial artifacts in the collection of the National Museum of Nuclear Science & History moved to their new home today. I took a ton of pictures and VIDEO! The whole process was much smoother and simpler than I imagined, and it is such a relief to see them sitting in the new space - alongside other artifacts that the museum had in storage all this time (like the… Continue

for the love of curves, sparkle, and twirling tassels
I think growing up I never knew what beauty really was. Looking back at childhood pictures, I realize that I didn’t really acknowledge the common notions of fashion, beauty, or mainstream iconology. In the past few months I have spent an ample amount of time looking at family photos, so this is something that has been on my mind a great deal. Those of you who know me best know that this was spawned by some extreme family drama culminating in the… Continue

only my mother could bring me to tears with so few words
"Hi my dearest family & friends:
Like all of you, I have such a great sense of joy and hope now that Obama has been elected president. It reminds me of the feelings I had at 2 different times in history when Kennedy was president and Dr. Martin Luther King’s speech at the March on Washington.
When I was 16 in 1962, going to high school at Roswell High School in New Mexico, I frequently would stay after school to play… Continue
