Oh dear,
How could I forget that I met Steve Jones of The Sex Pistols Wed night?
He was very kind! Look for the star fucker evidence on my website!
Thanks to the photographer who snapped the photo!
Speaking of which, the piano duo I am involved with was shot by famous
rock photographer Pat Johnson yesterday. Wow, so cool to work with such a professional
person! The first photo looked amazing... no complaints from my own insecure peanut gallery that lives inside my head. www.patjohnson.com
Wow!
I actually got to attend an event last night as a non performer.
It was super!
Got to see APE, thanks for getting me in Frank Novivki!
Saw the sassyDevilettes do their grrove thang! So much fun and high energy.
Missed the belly dancers unfortunately.
They looked really great!
The Rickshaw Stop is where it all happend and it was nice!
My fellow feline Miss MiMi Le Meaux was there from San Diego!
Can't wait to be in Paris with her in 4 weeks!
Monique, I miss her so much, is having a great show tonight of the creatures she makes from
bones and vintage clothing scraps.... BEAUTIFUL....I am gonna go!

Wow, thanks to Will the Thrill and Monica for showing me around Palm Springs!
And that nice man included me in his article about Baby Doe and Otto's cool event,
Tiki Oasis! I was so delighted to be there! My voice gave out in the dry desert air but, I just kept on going! I got to perform with ukulele master, Frank Novicki from APE! Thanks for everything Frank! He even wrote me a song...."You Bring Out The Savage In Me"! It's awesome and I intend to ad it to my kitty repitoire on uke and vocals..... suiper snappy and catchy! Look for more Daddy Frank and Kitten collaborations in the future!

Also, my new duo with Rodney Austin made its debut this weekend for PRIDE. We even got press at www.artnewsextra.com for visual Aids Sweet 16 Party. Wow, that was neat to debut at Yerba Beuna Center for the Arts. David as Lucien Stern was a dreamboat as the MC with MRS VEra. I fell in love with drag super star Gina La Davina and her pal Muffy Sincere! Go MUFFY!
She won!

Last night at danced at Club NV. I was so out of it in the 80's I couldn;t keep up with the band.
Thank goodness they added a lil Southern Rock and AC/DC... whew......
Tonight I am a roller skating cupcake girl named Cutie for my pal Gregangelo. I am excited I get to see many of my performer pals tonight! Hope I don;t break my arm on those skates!
I need my paws!

Sunday, June 26, 2005

Wow,
An actual post!
I am trying not to just use blogspot to promote shows I am in.
I have had a pretty nice weekend.
Did a bunch of shows ansd met some friendly Frank Sinatra loving people at
my substitute job last night.
They got me primed to watch "Pal Joey" today!
ZIP.... is a great song!

Had bad nightmares though.
I am getting really sick of the bad thoughts.
Really scary, mean husband killing me and attacking me.
When will all of this badness go away?
I am actually really scared for my well being.
Can't seem to shake the sadness and anger of the horrible betryal of it all.
All right in my FACE.
Not so nice.
I know I am being vague. Why be polite when the other party was NOT polite at all?
Ever wish you could turn back time and not have to think of all the sadness?
Then my Mom would still be alive and I would have ever married.
It was so greatI was ALLOWED to have a career.
I really appreciated that. That was the one great thing I came out of this whole thing.
Someone ALLOWED me to work my ass off. AWESOME!
Wish I could meet someone who would be nice to me and treat me well.
I think after awhile I deserve it!

Tonight should be a fun show with Rodney!
We have a new dup called the MUD FLAPPERS...... bad flapper girls soked in gin and more!
www.rodneyland.com

I am going to do a new version of Hot Nut Swing!
I do that song at the Rite Spot but not at Burlesque Shows.
Should be fun and sassy.
There are many different versions of the song from the 1930's.
Georgia White and Lil Harding Armstrong are my influences.

Only one month until PARIS! Can't wait to go.
If anyone knows of any great places I should visit, let me know!
Tooodles,
Kitten

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:THE WORLD'S "TOP TEASERS" TO TAKE THE STAGE,IN CELEBRATION OF THE NATION'S LONGEST-RUNNINGBURLESQUE PAGEANT: MISS EXOTIC WORLD 2005"Burlesque is experiencing a revival, flowing from America's cultural centers, across the heartland, and slowly, around the world."-- ABC NewsHelendale, CA (May 16, 2005) -- Exotic World USA, home of the world's ONLY Burlesque Museum and Striptease Hall of Fame, is pleased to announce that on June 4, 2005, over 100 of the world's most talented, tantalizing teasers will join Exotic World proprietress Dixie Evans ("The Marilyn Monroe of Burlesque") and fellow legends of the burlesque stage Tempest Storm, Tura Satana, Kitten Natividad, Satan's Angel, Yvette Paris, Liz Renay and reigning Miss Exotic World, Dirty Martini, for the museum's 15th Annual Miss Exotic World Pageant & Striptease Reunion.Hosted by the one & only El Vez, along with San Francisco's friskiest feline, Kitten on the Keys, Sideshow Superstar "The Amazing Blazing Tyler Fyre" (NYC) and comedian Blaine Capatch (LA), this year's show is a joint venture of Exotic World USA and Lucha VaVoom Productions, and will take place on the grounds of the Exotic World Burlesque Museum -- located just off historic Route 66 in Helendale, California.A risque American folk art that all but disappeared with the advent of television, burlesque has recently re-emerged as a major cultural phenomenon. Its boa-clad, rhinestone-studded revival is as evident in the explosion of burlesque-inspired nightclubs (40 Deuce, Tangerine, etc.), as it is in the "retro-glam" fashions of such mall-friendly retail giants as Victoria's Secret & Frederick's of Hollywood.Widely regarded as the "Miss America of Burlesque," Miss Exotic World is the most coveted title in the increasingly competitive, high- profile world of retro-flavored bump & grind. With acts that range from the elegant, ballet-inspired striptease made famous by superstars such as Sally Rand and Lili St. Cyr, to fire-eating, hula- hooping and even gravity-defying aerial stunts, the Miss Exotic World Pageant consistently draws the biggest names in burlesque past, present & future -- including diverse, top-flight performers representing all shapes, sizes, ages and backgrounds, from exhibitionist grandmothers to thirty-something PhDs and classically- trained modern dancers.In honor of the show's landmark anniversary (Note: In addition to celebrating the Pageant's 15th year, 2005 also marks the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Exotic Dancer's League, by Exotic World's founder, the late Jennie Lee), this year's show will include several new features, including a nighttime "title bout" (with top performers competing for the Miss Exotic World title & crown, beginning at dusk), and the debut of two new competitive categories ("Best Newcomer" and "Legend in the Making"); as well as a "Best Costume" contest; special tributes to recently deceased stars of the Burlesque stage, including Evelyn "The $50,000 Treasure Chest" West; a classic car, chopper & hot rod exhibition; and an all-day bazaar featuring vintage & pin-up vendors and between-set tunes, courtesy of celebrity DJs Senor Amor (LA) & Scott Ewalt (NYC).The 2005 Miss Exotic World Pageant will take place on Saturday, June 4 at 1PM (gates open at 12 noon) at 29053 Wild Road in Helendale, CA. Admission is $25/person (advance purchase through ticketweb.com ONLY) and $30/day of show (venue only).Editors Note:Interviews, images and a full list of Miss Exotic World 2005 competitors and performers is available by request. Commercial photographers, television professionals, documentary filmmakers and print journalists must call in advance for reservations. For more information or to schedule interviews with Dixie Evans, exhibition participants, or to arrange tours of the museum, please email laura@exoticworldusa.org or call (917) 599-8178."...As 'burlesque mania' edges ever closer to a fever pitch, a trip to the Pageant is a true must in the dust." -- Style Monte Carlo, Winter '05###-------------------------ABRIDGED RELEASE & LIST OF SATURDAY'S PARTICIPANTS:As you may know, the one & only Miss Exotic World Pageant & Striptease Reunion is finallyupon us… in fact, it's this coming weekend, June 3-5!That's right, Exotic World USA, home of the ORIGINAL Burlesque Festival & Striptease Reunion, proudly presents the 15th Annual Miss Exotic World Pageant -- hosted by El Vez, with Kitten on the Keys (SF), Blaine Capatch (LA) & the Amazin' Blazin' Tyler Fyre (NYC)... and featuring an ALL-STAR CAST of the world's top teasers, taking it all off in the ultimate battle for STRIPTEASE SUPREMACY!But wait… there's more!Saturday's main event will also include a classic car, hotrod & chopper exhibition; vintage & pin-up vendors; raffles & giveaways, food & drink *and* Celebrity DJs Senor Amor & Scott Ewalt, spinningthe very finest "take-it-off" tunes all day long!So: what the hell are you waiting for?Get your tickets here:http://www.ticketweb.com/user? region=socal&query=schedule&venue=exoticworldorvisit www.exoticworldusa.com for more details… and don't forget to SPREAD THE WORD!Team EWPS: Here's a peek at the earth-shattering ecdysiasts currently confirmed for Saturday's show:Adonna VichetAlotta BoutteAmber RayBambi the MermaidBella BerettaThe World Famous *BOB*Bunny LoveCharlotte La Belle AraigneeDelirium TremensDesire D'AmourDiamondback AnnieDolores De MuelaEsperanzaEva Von SlutEzili Belladonna StarThe Flying FoxHarvest MoonHot Pink FeathersIndigo BlueIsis StarrJami DeadlyJulie Atlas MuzKalani KoKonutsLady AceLili's Burlesque RevueLittle BrooklynLucy FurMimi LeMeauxPanty RaidPa-Ooh-LaPeekaboo PointePeek A Boo RevuePenny Starr, Jr.Scarlet SinclairSkin Tight Outta SightSparkly DevilSummer PeachesToots L'AmourTorchy TabooTrixie Little & The Evil, Tap-Dancing Hate MonkeyVenus DeMilleVienna LeRougeVivienne VaVoomMiss Von LividThe Wau Wau SistersZaraa Ra'naaWith special appearances by:Bambi Sr.Camille 2000CynthianaDaiquiri St JohnDixie EvansKitten NatividadKiva, "Queen of Fans"Liz RenayMarinkaRicci CortezSatan's AngelTempest StormTura SatanaYvette Paris... & other Vintage Stars of the Burlesque Stage!For more info, please visit www.exoticworldusa.com.

Show listing!The Empire Plush Room Presents:Dirty Little Secret Campy Vaudeville Variety Burlesque ShowThe York Hotel940 Sutter StreetSF, CA 94109415-885-280021 and upFriday and Saturday Late Nights ongoing11PM$25.00http://www.adirtylittlesecret.com/There was a time when those in “the know” snuck out of the house and into the night to find themselves some excitement. This usually meant one of two things; a night in jail or a night in one of the City’s numerous Speakeasy’s. Now-a-days, people in “the know” are sneaking into the Empire Plush Rooms Dirty Little Secret – A Roaring 20’s Revue. Part Camp, part Burlesque and all Vaudeville, this Dirty Little Secret has brought together acts that are sure to amaze and titillate. Your Emcee for the night, the ebullient magician RJ Owens, guides you through this fast-paced hour and a half show much like Willy Wonka guides one through the chocolate factory…you never know what will happen next. Where else can you see vintage Vaudeville sketches interwoven seamlessly with a guy who makes and juggles pancakes, the finest and sassiest chanteuses belting to the back row, and the most scintillating of burlesque performers all on one stage? Dirty Little Secret, that’s where! A place your Grandmother might have warned you about! TicketsThere are three ways to obtain tickets:1) Through our box office, by calling:
