My Way of Life

Tonight is the final performance of Die! Mommie, Die! and it will be sad to put Angela Arden to bed. I had a blast playing her and I will miss all of my DMD co-stars and crew.  Peter Mavrik, who works backstage with us has been meticulous in choreographing my quick costume and wig changes [...]

My Way of Life- Fag Attack!

I just had a mini fag attack. What is a fag attack? Well it has nothing to do with horrid gay bashing. A fag attack is that burst of homosexual adrenaline that shoots through your body like a pink laser beam when you see something like this. It causes your inner screaming queen to go [...]
