The most powerful, creative, dangerous, funny, and empowering work I have ever experienced, and I’ve experienced 5 different productions of theirs in the last 6 years.
A large performance group - always at least 10 to 30 female and non-binary nude performers. Wide range of ages and physically abled bodies. Elaborate stage and sound designs. Dangerous physical feats, emotional discussion, live body modification. Aerial suspensions with motorcycles, helicopters, cars. Fire, chain sawing, Houdini water recreation. Classic & contemporary art reinterpretations, trickery, reality and more! It’s exciting, important, palpable and inspired!
I’m not making this up!!!!

Grab a couple friends, watch (once per week, together or separately) classics/canonicals you otherwise would never have gotten around to, discuss irl or on Zoom. Feel free to hate, but also feel free to love
There is literally no other way to get yourself to watch Jeanne Dielman, but boy-oh-boy you’ll be happy you did

Film Forum is the OG but Metrograph is younger and hungrier, with a more diverse slate of films and an emphasis on rediscovered or neglected classics. Great atmosphere too, with a restaurant and bookstore. you can’t go wrong!

My cats, Sad Jazz and Miss Vanjie. I have included a pic so you can know what I’m on about. I love their weird quirky personalities! They are strongly social, patient, and so different from each other. They give me so much joy - just look at them!

Now that all my costumes are at my home, I can reflect on the last 25 years of wearing them. This is my most prized costume, a piece Charlie Le Mindu made for a show he did in collaboration with Crazy Horse in Paris. Crazy Horse is a cabaret show of sexy dancers that all have the same body type – an idea of “perfection”, but Charlie turned them all into multi-boobed glorious hair creatures!
After the show run was completed, he told me that I inspired this work and gave me a one-of-a-kind costume from the show. It has four parts - a cone shaped, long blonde hair wig, long blonde hair wings, a silicone multi-boob bra, and a silicone boob thong. I love it for its playful critique on body image. I love using it performatively as an absurd reinvention of a strip tease in four parts.
You might know Charlie’s work from his recent collaboration with Doja Cat for Coachella. Her brilliant dancers were tearing it up in his long blond hair suits.
Note: Mentioning that Charlie was “inspired by me” is not to show how great I am, or that people want to make unique pieces for me, but to show how we are inspired by each other. Through sharing we open up a community and find commonality and purpose.

I love Las Culturistas! It feels like hanging out with friends as I practice my active listening skills. Friends who love and critique culture with many cute and uncomfortable opinions. Realness and queerness!
I particularly love the recent episode “Rode Hard and Put Away Wet” with Harper Steele and Will Ferrell where they chat about their Netflix documentary Will & Harper. The doc is beautiful! A road trip that revitalized the relationship between the two friends after Harper's transition at 61. This film brilliantly and generously includes us in both struggles and joy, and focuses on so many topics - age, friendship, openness, privilege, mistakes, learning. This episode is next level - comedians showing vulnerability, grace, queerness, and still being funny and entertaining af!
