SAVE PUBLIC ACCESS:California's public access televison is in danger. The state assembly has passed HR2987, which would kill funding for public access. The vote goes to the state senate in a few days. Go to http://www.savepublicaccess.com to learn more. Or you could just sit on your butt and watch "Friends" reruns...for the rest of your life!
PODCAST:I have joined the ranks of the pod people with my own podcast featuring the many bay area funny music acts I have worked with over the years.

Sacrificial Lamb Suzanne Ramsey June 4, 2006
Sung to the music of a Chinese Restaurant
(new song from the upcoming one woman show-Does this piano make my ass look big?)
There's something wrong I fear
Save the family Kitty Dear
Mom's a washed up actress
Best career move on a matress
Sinks full of dirty dishes
And Babies Dirty Britches
Get us out of this predicament
From this filthy tenement
Nibbling Bon Bon Dad
No Alimony, NO PONY!
Bedroom Icicle
He prefers tots on a tricycle
I'll get real high on hooch
Then Sell my lil Cooch
Catch a buzz on ripple
as they nibble my budding nipples
I'll never never cry
as the drops ooze down my thighs
icky icky DOC
My lambchop He will POP
Shiff my wee cream puff
Hairy dudes in the BUFF
Slimy toughs from the sewer
My ass gets black and bluer
That man he does lear
As he sticks it in my rear
That slobby sweaty bloke
My Innocence he will poke
Down there should be bare
The customers all care
I pray to Jesus,
While staring at the ceiling ( I see bunnies and kitties and ponies and
hamsters and fluffy clouds that look like marshmellow smiles.....)
Yucky car dealer
He's a bottom feeder
Everybody Knows
Where the clown's red knows grows
Clamor for the camera
My Lil girlie glamour
Close my eyes real tight
Badness go away tonight
Sticky bun delight
Close my eyes with fright
I'm the sacrificial LAMB
FOR GENITAL CRAM

We need to all come to this benefit for Heather McCallister!
Read on:
Please contact Lady Monster for more information at ladymonster@earthlink.net .
Fat-Bottom Mama’s Benefat
A benefit for the Founder and Artistic Director of Big Burlesque and The Original Fat-Bottom Revue, Heather MacAllister
December 20, 2005: San Francisco, Calif. —
On Saturday, January 14th at the Center For Sex and Culture (at 398 11th Street @ Harrison), a benefit will be held at 8pm to raise money for Heather MacAllister.
Battling ovarian cancer for over two years, this young Detroit fat and queer activist needs the support of her community at large.
She is also the founder of the Venus Group, a social and support network other fat artists and activists.
Performing under the name, RevaLucien, she brought her passions to San Francisco, and onto the burlesque stage. She created the world’s only touring plus-sized burlesque troupe (The Original Fat Bottom Revue).
Performers at the Benefat will include those in the Bay Area that have supported and performed with Heather in the past – including burlesque, dance, spoken word and song performances. On the list to date are: Annie Sprinkle and Elizabeth Stevens, Carol Queen, Scarlot Harlot, Big Burlesque, Kitten on the Keys, Big Moves’ Phat Fly Girls – West Coast, Creamy Goodness, Jennifer Blowdryer, the Diamond Daggers, Kelly Keggers, Lori Selke, Marilyn Wann, and appearances by the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. There will also be various donated items up for auction.
In 2005 Big Burlesque traveled the country-wide. A smash-hit East Coast tour, a Southwestern swing with Candye Kane (including knocking off the celebs socks at the infamous Brown Derby in LA), elegance-extraordinaire at Tease-O-Rama, and our flabulous production, `Hot Summer Nights` at Theater Rhino, PanTease II, and performances at the following events: Dyke March, NoLose Conference, NAAFA Conference, Exotic Erotic Ball and many other shows, including our usual frolicy fun at The Dark Room.
Big Burlesque has also had a great deal of amazing press from being featured in Leonard Nimoy`s photographic series, “Maximum Beauty”. This includes the following magazines in international circulation: Time, New Yorker, Bizarre, and Juxtapoz, and several newspapers. These photographs were also featured on the Style network in an interview special with Leonard Nimoy. AND, we hope you caught the KQED SPARK episode that featured Big Burlesque.
In the November 2005 issue of Bizarre Heather says, “Any time there is a fat person onstage as anything besides the butt of a joke, it’s political. Add physical movement, then dance, then sexuality and you have a revolutionary act.”

Meow Meow!
A brand new review of Pretty Princess Day!
Makes me feel good that it is still out there in the Universe!
Yippeee doodle!
Had fun playing at the Mariott last night.
They do not need any piano tonight so I am performing at Dirty Little Secret.
RJ is off so we now have Eddie Dane!
That will be great.
Doing Granny Sells My Panties on Ebay with him!
Kids shows tommorrow.... kinda early.... but should be gratifying.
Purchased 75 or more kazoos so the kids could play along!
I have to say I am liking X-mas music this year.
Why?
I can't say!
Thursday, December 01, 2005
Oh my god...
I am listening to the Darkness and having fun with my computer.
The first Darkness... I think they have a new album out.
Or do we call it CD now?
I guess that is a guilty secret that I am sharing with the world right now.
All my pals have restraining orders either against them or they are putting them on other folks.
So hard to get along with crazy people.
Do people just forget to take their meds?
Or are the meds not working?
Are my meds working?
Hard to say.
Sometimes I am paranoid.
REALLY paranoid.
It was raining so HARd today and I had ice cream in the rain with Rodney.
It was minty and I felt fresh in the buckets of rain.
We have a leak in the ceiling.
Joan was awesome and got right on the problem.
Cool for an 86 year old lady!
I am alwasy so fearful that the mean old church will kick me out for being a sinner asshole.
I am a sinner asshole but I am a nice sinner asshole who listens to the Darkness in secret....
I mean it was a secret.
I think I am going to listen to someone else now.....
SOPHIE TUCKER rhymes with fucker.
I have liquid poos from all of the stress.
It feels bad.
I have realized that I am difficult because I have a certain standard.
Things do not have to be so difficult.
I just want to work with people that have their poop together.
Is it that hard?
Having a show at 8PM and not having a set list yet at 8:05 is irritating and UNPROFESSIONAL.
Lying is also VERY unprofessional.
So funny how I become the butt of jokes due to someones inferiority complex about themselves and their sexuality. Why do these guys suck so bad?
And it is always MEN!
They really have huge egos and try to dominate me.
I have just gotten PISSED off lately and will not put up with it?
Why should I?
I hate it when men are not fair and pit other women against eachother.
BAD!
I am so happy I am leaving.
I keep looking at all these places and the best is just AWAY.
I guess I can leave before the church kicks me out.
I have no husband.
No real skills or anything I do really.
I am just kinda a bog marshmellow moonpie with liquid poop who listens to the darkness.

Richard Hall, the pianist remembered all of my songs!
So wonderful to work with great musicians!
Got to tinkle the ivories and fool around with Chave.... she is sweet.
Doing Goodship Lolipop strip
Lola for the Lollies
and a fun version of Hilo Hattie on my uke for the girls and RJ to hula to.
Sounds GREAT!
Had so much fun at the last Viva Variety.
There were fantastic performers on the bill!
Mathew Martin, Peggy Judy, Peggy L'eggs doing Ophelia, Will Franken is AMAZING, and so much more! I feel so good to be included in such a wonderful show that donates all of its money to charity. www.makeitsoproductions.org
I will misss performing there.
I played piano for Dr Elmo's new Prison Without Martha SOng and then we did his big hit
"Grandma Got Ran Over By a Reindeer". Thanks to Velocity Circus for having me there as a guest. Dr Elmo is so super sweet. He gave me his blessing to do his song at a little X'Mas show I am doing at Madrone Lounge 12/24 with Uni and her Ukulele.
Then I was off to Trannyshack where the Savage song got a great response!
I love Trannyshack.
So fun to do 2 shows in a row where people are actually nice to me and appreciate me!
Yippppeeeee, about time.
Moving away is going to be hard but I have to do it for my sake!
I only have a teeny tiny bit of sanity left!
I am writing lotsa new songs including a sad ballady waltz about a loveless X'Mas for Jon Bennet Ramsey.

Mathew Martin, Peggy Judy, Peggy L'eggs doing Ophelia, Will Franken is AMAZING, and so much more! I feel so good to be included in such a wonderful show that donates all of its money to charity. www.makeitsoproductions.org
I will misss performing there.
I played piano for Dr Elmo's new Prison Without Martha SOng and then we did his big hit
"Grandma Got Ran Over By a Reindeer". Thanks to Velocity Circus for having me there as a guest. Dr Elmo is so super sweet. He gave me his blessing to do his song at a little X'Mas show I am doing at Madrone Lounge 12/24 with Uni and her Ukulele.
Then I was off to Trannyshack where the Savage song got a great response!
I love Trannyshack.
So fun to do 2 shows in a row where people are actually nice to me and appreciate me!
Yippppeeeee, about time.
Moving away is going to be hard but I have to do it for my sake!
I only have a teeny tiny bit of sanity left!
I am writing lotsa new songs including a sad ballady waltz about a loveless X'Mas for Jon Bennet Ramsey.

I was so happy I got to MC the Laughing Squid 1oth anniversary party at the Varnish Fine Art Gallery downtown 12/10. I was fortunate enough to MC amazing acts as well as play piano and sing. My wonderful pal Joshua Ellingsaon did the
artwork of the squid.
I made a squid necklace and also made squid pasties with golden squid sparklies for my boobies.
I was squealing with kittenish delight as the amazing Nik Phelps of Sprocket Ensemble played naughty 1920's standards with me.
WOW! Was that fun. We really jelled on such classics as "King Size Papa" and more!
Usually at those events people don't listen but a couple people mentioned they really enjoyed the songs!
Mr Lucky was fabulous as always and he even had the one and only J Raul Brody play with him.
I got to sit on MR Brody's lap (he was wearing cordouroy pants so it felt good). Mr Brody backed up Pee Wee Herman and Florence Henderson in the same week once.
Scott was so happy! What a sweetheart!
I also got to hang out with Freddie Price of Rube Wadell fame and his lovely gal Lily from
Yardogs Roadshow. They enjoyed my new song "Leather Daddy".
Nik and Nancy were dolls and gave me a ride all the way home!
Some photo links from the party:

Don't forget to come see me sing for the Lollies at Dirty Little Secret at the Plush Room 11/26
at the York Hotel! Many fun surprises abound!
My pal RJ is the host of the show!
I had such a busy week!
First I did exceprts from my upcoming one woman show Kitty Glitter for Fool's Fury
Theater Company Factory.
Then I did my gals the Lollies a favor a sang "You Bring Out The Savage In me" at Douglas Good's Cabaret Verdalet at DNA. The show had a becy of beauties including Jill Tracy as the MC, Veronica Klaus,
Rj Owens Magic, The World Famous Bob from NYC, and of course the Lollies.
The band was fantatsic!
Friday I got to hand out with a fabulous old friend.
So nice to catch up with her!
Saturday just made me fall to pieces.
I was in Paul Nathan's Dark Kabaret.
www.darkkabaret.com
My ride never came so Miss Cat had to come and load her car.
She was not feeling well but she came to the show looking FABULOUS!
Ended up to be so much work because I played piano for myself and also had to play for others.
I was not counting on that so it put me in super stress mode.
Unfortunately my own work suffered because of it.
I did two new songs, "Vodka" and the "Hot Nut Swing" on ukulele.
Mt Tinkler loaned me his new tenor ovation uke. So much fun!
Singing with Eric McFaden is a dream come true.
Paul ended up thanking me profously so it was all worth it.
There is a reason I want to quit show biz but thanks makes it better

More info at:http://www.campburlesque.comSuicide Girls: The First Tour (WEST COAST PREMIERE!)The Suicide Girls documents the sexy fun and absolute chaos that made the SGLive tour a showstopper and continues to attract throngs of fans. The110-minute film features the show performances stylistically edited andinter-cut with candid interviews from the girls, photo shoots, andbehind-the-scenes antics like trying to set up a topless photo shoot on thestreets of San Francisco at midnight.Review from Film Threat: " The Suicide girls are young, tattooed and piercedwomen who strike an erotic pose on the net in a tightly knit community ofsimilar individuals. It's grrrrl power (or savvy marketing depending on howcynical you are), and this (film) is a chronicle of some of those girls'first tour around the continent as they put on a burlesque show. You'll seeinterviews with the ladies, their acts and photo shoots. The less astuteviewer will think it's really just naked punk chicks dancing around, but asthe hilarious photo shoot in San Francisco proves, you can't easily classifyanything when it comes to the Suicide Girls.If you like hot, tattooed and pierced females (and the bad leather - Lordknows I do), you'll want to check this film out as soon as humanly possible.You'll come for the flesh, but you'll stay for the personalities. Rating:**** "The Victoria Theater:Located in the historic Mission District of San Francisco, the ornate andstately Victoria Theatre, seats 500. The theatre, built in 1908 as avaudeville house, is now a city landmark and the oldest operating theatre inSan Francisco.Originally called Brown's Opera House, it was operated as a vaudevilleshowcase by the ancestors of two California governors. The theatre drewcrowds who delighted in observing the grand performances of internationalstars who came to San Francisco. As cinema began to displace live on-stageentertainment, the character of the Victoria Theatre began to change. In the1930's, it became a motion picture house offering dishware door prizes toentice moviegoers. In the 1950's the Victoria Theatre was renamed El TeatroVictoria, showing Spanish-language films for the growing Latino community inthe area. In the 1960's, under the name New Follies, the theatre became aburlesque house and closed in 1976.Two years later, restored and refurbished, she was once again Victoria, andtoday she is the oldest operating theatre in San Francisco. In her longhistory she has presented Mae West, Whoopi Goldberg, Bill Irwin, DonaldO'Conner, and Hedwig and the Angry Inch.

They host"Thrillville," a cult movie cabaret, at The Parkway Speakeasy Theater inOakland, as well as "road shows" around the universe and beyond. Will wasborn in New York City and raised mostly in New Jersey, and in addition tobeing a beatnik lounge lizard he is also a freelance writer specializing inlounge music and vintage B movies, while Monica, a Bay Area native, is anaccomplished actress and model. They cite Elvis and Sinatra as their patronsaints. You can visit them in the small, swanky town of Thrillville via theirweb site, http://www.thrillville.netCamp Burlesque (SF PREMIERE!)It's titillating, it's shocking, it's CAMP! Los Angeles Director, AntonioMarsico brings you Camp Burlesque! Filmed in dazzling Swing-O-Vision color,Camp Burlesque is a wild romp of eroticism featuring today's most popularstars of burlesque: Erochica Bamboo, Kiten DeVille, Mimi LeMeaux, Eliza Bane,Jessika Von Fuhr, Blue Angel, Deadly Tiger Lily, Esperanza, Loud Louisa, MayaO'Migh, Lou Lou Roxy, Miss Cherry, Roobie Breastnut, Anna Bells, LuckyDiPalma, Victoria Lane.....and many, many more! More info at:http://www.campburlesque.comSuicide Girls: The First Tour (WEST COAST PREMIERE!)The Suicide Girls documents the sexy fun and absolute chaos that made the SGLive tour a showstopper and continues to attract throngs of fans. The110-minute film features the show performances stylistically edited andinter-cut with candid interviews from the girls, photo shoots, andbehind-the-scenes antics like trying to set up a topless photo shoot on thestreets of San Francisco at midnight.Review from Film Threat: " The Suicide girls are young, tattooed and piercedwomen who strike an erotic pose on the net in a tightly knit community ofsimilar individuals. It's grrrrl power (or savvy marketing depending on howcynical you are), and this (film) is a chronicle of some of those girls'first tour around the continent as they put on a burlesque show. You'll seeinterviews with the ladies, their acts and photo shoots. The less astuteviewer will think it's really just naked punk chicks dancing around, but asthe hilarious photo shoot in San Francisco proves, you can't easily classifyanything when it comes to the Suicide Girls.If you like hot, tattooed and pierced females (and the bad leather - Lordknows I do), you'll want to check this film out as soon as humanly possible.You'll come for the flesh, but you'll stay for the personalities. Rating:**** "The Victoria Theater:Located in the historic Mission District of San Francisco, the ornate andstately Victoria Theatre, seats 500. The theatre, built in 1908 as avaudeville house, is now a city landmark and the oldest operating theatre inSan Francisco.Originally called Brown's Opera House, it was operated as a vaudevilleshowcase by the ancestors of two California governors. The theatre drewcrowds who delighted in observing the grand performances of internationalstars who came to San Francisco. As cinema began to displace live on-stageentertainment, the character of the Victoria Theatre began to change. In the1930's, it became a motion picture house offering dishware door prizes toentice moviegoers. In the 1950's the Victoria Theatre was renamed El TeatroVictoria, showing Spanish-language films for the growing Latino community inthe area. In the 1960's, under the name New Follies, the theatre became aburlesque house and closed in 1976.Two years later, restored and refurbished, she was once again Victoria, andtoday she is the oldest operating theatre in San Francisco. In her longhistory she has presented Mae West, Whoopi Goldberg, Bill Irwin, DonaldO'Conner, and Hedwig and the Angry Inch. Current Victoria presentations areeclectic, usually edgy, and include locally produced original plays,concerts, film festivals,musicals, and international performing companies.Contact Tease-O-Rama!For photos, interviews with performers or organizers, press credentials andanswers to all and sundry inquiries, contact: Alan Parowski atspacecapades@hotmail.com.
