Joie de Vivre

Just added several upcoming shows for August: my first live-singing show at the Bijou show at Martuni’s, another night of mayhem when we celebrate Dean Disaster’s birthday at the Charlie Horse Show at The Cinch and two dates for the Dream Queens Review at Aunt Charlie’s Lounge.

Back again my darlings! So much to catch up on.

Two weeks ago I helped my friend Donna Persona with her “Hotter Than July” charity show benefiting the Night Ministry. I tried out some new stuff: the retro-soul, “Bring It Home” by The Bamboos, featuring Alice Russell, who’s not well-known here, but is huge in the UK.

Then it was the Dream Queens Review at Aunt Charlies, where in honor of my friend Sheena Rose, the outgoing Miss Cowgirl 2007, I did a night of country — and even found a country Christmas song to go with the night’s “Christmas in July” theme. Dug out my cute little Mrs. Claus outfit to do “Let It Snow” by Rhonda Vincent, then Lisa Koch’s comedic ballad, “Back When We Had Sex,” and finished up with Jill King’s honky-tonk rocker “After All.”

Sheena had asked me to perform at her step-down, so I cowgirled-up and performed Miranda Lambert’s “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.”

Now I’m just busy practicing for my upcoming live-singing (no lipsyching) show at Martuni’s with the lovely Trauma Flintstone.
