(1986) Re: Tapes
You could probably use the tapes and not listen to them. Pull out the tape… make a dress out of it… pull tapes and dance… wrap them around picture…. etc.
The tapes might be too terrible to listen to. Destroy them as art.

(I practiced singing and dancing as I untangled my hair. This is me in 1993.)
How Do you feel?
I’m not good at finishing things. I still haven’t watched the last episode of HBO’s True Blood, which ended last year. I was waiting for “the right moment” to watch the finale, but it never came. I just never wanted the show to end.
Now it’s time for me to close out my birthday performance (which was 2 weeks ago). Right after my performance, my friend Hilary asked me,“How do you feel?”
I answered automatically, “I’m glad it’s over.”
I thought about what I just said and I took it back immediately, “Wait… actually I’m not glad that it’s over.’
“I like that.” Read the rest of this entry »

Act Three – VHS dance. Because the camera is broken. Prep for the song
Act Four – Spring Garden School 2003 anthem – cut off tights – “The Greatest Love of All” song and music video. Have intro repeat multiple times. Whitney swings around.

Last week, I was sick and confined to my parents couch so I watched a bunch of movies on HBO. Mostly partial movies and most of them tear jerkers. In one sitting, I watched most of Pearl Harbor (because Josh Hartnett is in it), The Fault In Our Stars and the second half of Titanic. I think I started watching when the ship started to sinking. I cried the most watching The Fault In Our Stars. It wasn’t a good film but I blame the crying partly on PMS. Read the rest of this entry »
NOTE: I am over this. I’ve learned from it and am looking on the positive side of things. I have renewed inspiration to make new/more performances 🙂 steak face revival.

“This girl flailed around in her swimming pool before screaming that there wasn’t enough water, then cut it up with an electric knife….. She then used the knife to cut a fat steak in half, threw it on the floor a few times before dancing around with it, and then screamed about wanting to swim before sitting down to cut her swimmies up. #lumen #lumen2014”

“No water in the pool but she threw raw meat in there and rolled around and screamed then popped it with a saw. That’s art!”
