Back in Black

Ok, it's somewhat criminal that I've been posting to Facebook and other semi-private places regularly, but I've ignored my public blog here. So here's a quickie post of some pictures I took a few days ago, sporting a brunette look.



Lots going on with me lately, I've started doing drag shows among other things, which has forced me to up my makeup game. Will hopefully also do another piano/cabaret gig at Cafe D'Mongo sometime soon as well.

At the Talent Show

Yeah, I know this was a couple of weeks ago, but I just ran across some pictures I took at the Talent Show fundraiser for Astro Coffee on Feb 26. I hadn't seen any other pictures posted, so these may be highly valuable artifacts --

I think the guy at the mic is Dave from Supino's Pizzeria, or someone who looks kind of like him.

This looks like Joe, Robert, and someone else I met there but I didn't catch the name of everyone.

Anyway, the Talent Show was pretty loose and a lot of fun! I even got up there and played a few songs, which was not easy playing on the Casio mini-keyboard and being somewhat drunk. I've resolved to attend more Detroit-y events when possible, and this was a good one. And if this fundraiser can help a place with good coffee open up in the city, that's also a great thing.

Cindy the Socialite

I've made my first appearance in the society pages! Well, sort of, it's the "Velvet Rope" pictures section of the Metro Times, the local weekly alternative/arts paper.

This was at the Dirty Show in Detroit last Friday. It was fun to go out in public (with my friend Lynn and a few others), which I haven't done much yet. Well, insofar as an erotic art exhibit/sideshow can be considered "public". It was an interesting event at any rate, and I did buy a photo print. And I had my picture taken by the newspaper man, how exciting!

See metrotimes.com -- Scroll down to the Velvet Rope viewer, and I'm about a dozen pictures in. Or use this more direct link for that weekend. I ought to be in the print edition too, I think.

Unfortunately I didn't follow Sheena's advice in her comment on my previous post... I am basically grinning like an idiot. Eeek! Next time I will be sure to strike a pose. And the lighting seems harsh. The paparazzi are just relentless, I say.

Update March 2010 -- Yes, my picture did appear in the Feb 24 print edition of the MT. And Sheena emailed me a very helpful pose to use in the future! Here it is:

Well, hello there.

Alright, I've started up a public blog. I'm not sure how much I'll be posting about my exceedingly glamorous life in Detroit, I mainly wanted to set up something to comment on other people's blogs. If I do post I will try to keep it quick and spontaneous.

I will however include a couple pictures of myself, as a thank-you to all my fans. Which I am going to work on accumulating, starting now.




An icy stare, just for you.
