Wednesday, April 27, 2005AJ SilverNYC Angelo Iodice AKA AJ Silver, did not let growing up in the Bronx interfere with his dream of becoming a Wild West Star. He started his career as a trick rider, performing such dangerous stunts as passing under the belly of his galloping horse and even standing on two horses Roman style while jumping over fire. He says the Roman Riding was a tribute to his Italian ancestry. He has performed his roping and riding in Madison Square Garden and Russia's Red Square and countless other venues thru-out the Universe.He would like to thank Keith and Stephanie of the Bindlestiff Family Cirkus and Lady Ace for introducing him to Burlesque.For more info www.angeloajsilver.com.Tuesday, April 26, 2005Henry Millerat Wikipedia An overly stimulated mind leads to a satisfied superego and Rachel is sure to satisfy with her erotic prose. Graphic tits and ass, you dont need them! All you need is Rachel's sensuous and erotic writings which will never sag overtime. She'll satisfy the lesbian in you and intrigue the non-discriminating sexually obsessed male too. Her website I was given one lamp for my endtableS years ago but never bothered to look for another one to match it. So I guess I'm buying a new pair. Before you head out to the store do a little window shopping first or buy it online. Lamps Plus Retail store in California and a few other western states. They sell online too. Lighting Universe Washington state store that sells online too. Starting a collection of books I shouldn't read but feel I have to corrupt my mind evenmore. I hate paperbacks, nicely bound hardbacks prefered. Audiobooks also wanted on these titles. Tropic of Cancer by Henry Miller in paperback ugh! Tropic of Capricorn by Henry Miller in paperback ugh!

Concept car that was scrubbed Google search Google image search Google news Joanna Angel is the founder and owner of Burning Angel.com and has been referred to as "The Madame of Punk Rock Porn.” Leading a smutty life both on and off camera, Joanna seeks out most of the talent on the site, in some cases sampling the talent before deciding to shoot with them. Before founding Burning Angel.com - as a punk rocker with a desire to irk people - Joanna continuously tested all boundaries of common decency. While righteously testing these boundaries, she discovered her right to the first amendment – freedom of speech - and used it to create BA. Joanna is loud, charismatic and passionate about her porn site. She will freely discuss her business venture, her scandalous photo sets and penetrating videos to anyone and everyone. She loves all aspects of the business, and enjoys being on both sides of the camera. She is without a doubt more perverted than the average man. An up-and-coming starlet with personality and intelligence, Ms. Angel does band interviews for the BA website and DVD releases, asking the bands intimate questions about sex and porn. She's interviewed over 100 bands including Marilyn Manson, Slash, and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Joanna's even been asked to contribute to a book about women who revolutionized the sex industry, to be released by Avalon Press. Other contributions include some of the most famous women in business, Jenna Jameson, Tera Patrick and Candida Royale to name a few. The first Burning Angel DVD, BurningAngel.com>: The Movie is her debut anal scene. Besides taking it in the ass and performing in two scenes, Joanna’s also a major creative contributor on the DVD. Joanna acted as producer and assistant director on the film, and conducted all the raunchy band interviews. With several more upcoming Burning Angel releases this year, expect to see her penetrated more creatively in future features. Authors

Opera Diva Shelly Watson and Circus Composer SXIP join forces to bring you a sultry ode to decendance in New York City... "THE TEMPLE MUST BURN!" photo by Carl Saytor Wednesday, April 13, 2005Polly PeabodyNYC Born Mary Phelps Jacob, and called Polly, she was the daughter of a prominent New England family. Her ancestry included Governor Bradford, the Plymouth Colony's first governor and Robert Fulton, developer of the steamboat. Polly, who would later rename herself Caresse, became a writer, publisher and bra designer. A childhood of privilege included private school, dancing school, and horseriding school. She was a rather disinterested student. On November 3, 1914 the United States Patent Office issued a patent to Polly Jacob for a "backless bra" she created out of handkerchiefs, ribbon and cord. While not the first modern bra, it was a unique and creative solution to the problem of supporting women's breasts . Crosby started a business that failed to properly market the product and she eventually sold the patent for $1,500 to a corset manufacturing company. In 1915 Polly Jacob married Richard Rogers Peabody. Peabody was the son of one of the most prominent Massachusetts families. By the early 20th century a case could be made that the Peabodies had supplanted the Cabots and the Lodges as the most distinguished name in the area. Of this marriage, two children were born: a son, William Jacob in 1916 and a daughter Polly ("Poleen") the following year. Richard Peabody was a well-educated but undirected man and a reluctant father. He would soon suffer the personal consequences of his war experiences and became an alcoholic with a fetish for fighting fires. Polly's life was difficult during the war years and when her husband returned home, significantly changed, her life soon changed abruptly too. The catalyst for Polly Jacob Peabody's transformation was her introduction and eventual marriage to Harry Grew Crosby, another scion of a socially prominent Boston family and another veteran and victim of the recent war. Polly divorced Richard Peabody who was now in and out of hospitals because of alcohol abuse. On September 9, 1922 Harry and Polly were married and two days later they moved to France to join the other American expatriates, spiritually licking the wounds suffered during the Great War. In 1924 Polly formally changed her name to Caresse. The next year she and Harry founded the Black Sun Press which published the work of a number of writers including Hart Crane, James Joyce, D.H. Lawrence and others. Caresse published her own book of poetry called Crosses of Gold. After Harry Crosby's remarkable suicide in 1929, Caresse continued her writing and publishing work at Black Sun. She also established Crosby Continental Editions, a book company that published paperback books by Ernest Hemingway, William Faulkner, Dorothy Parker, among others. In 1937 she married a football player, Selbert Young, who was nearly twenty years her junior. With Young she moved to Virginia. She opened an art gallery in Washington D.C. and started Portfolio a magazine about art and literature. She also was politically active and founded the organization Women Against War. In 1950 she divorced Young and moved to Italy where she planned to create an artists colony. She published an autobiography in 1953 called The Passionate Years. And in 1970, Caresse Crosby, then in relative obscurity, died. Adria Lang is a writer and an actress living in NY.Miss Jennifer Lynn Los Angeles Jennifer Lynn is very shy.

Friday, April 08, 2005FishermanFisherman's Xylophonic Burlesque Orchestra Fisherman is a crazy-cool bandleader and mallet player (vibes, marimba, xylophone) who has been making the hep cats and chicks groove across the nation for over a decade. His shows deliver the kind of action not seen since the golden years of Be-Bop, Burlesque, and Lounge Exotica. With his fez, goatee, and vast collection of Tiki shirts, he looks like he stepped out of a Technicolor beatnik drive-in extravaganza. And the way he plays� well you probably haven't seen anything like it, unless you caught Lionel Hampton or Red Norvo back in the day. Fisherman is the alter-ego of Brian Lease, a classically trained percussionist who exited the stuffy concert-hall to raise the banner of vaudeville showman. After releasing albums and touring with Frenchy (one of California's proto-loungecore acts in the early 90's), he founded Fisherman's Famous San Francisco Burlesque, the first live music burlesque seen on the West Coast in our memory. He co-produced the first Tease-O-Rama, now the largest annual Burlesque convention in the world. Lately, he can be seen mostly in New York, playing with his epiphanous trio at the hottest Tiki bar in town (Otto's Shrunken Head) every week and producing his Burlesque at such venues as The Slipper Room, Siberia, and Marquee. next performer 2004 Fisherman NYC

Saturday, April 02, 2005AmmoNYC AMMO is a bewitching seductress one minute and a naughty nun the next or you might even catch her swigging liquor out of a jack bottle while hitchhiking in a bikini.2004 Astrid Von Voomer was born in Berlin in 19--. Her mother Zsa Zsa, was a Bavarian Princess, her father a dwarf and a carny. Astrid was a twin until the tragic death of her sister, Ilsa, in an arson fire set in their home. After years of troubled homelife Astrid ran away from home at the age of 12 with her first love Fernando. Fernando & Astrid traveled through Europe, eventually landing in France. In France they joined the famed Cirque de Lune Circus where they learned and mastered the art of trapeze. Within five years, Astrid had become the headlining act at the circus and the most famous circus act of the century. Then at the apex of her career tragedy struck. Romeo Zuccolo, a lover of Astrid's and a knife thrower in the circus, took revenge upon her by purposely plunging his knife into her head during a live performance. She survived the savage attack, but it caused the loss of one eye, thereby destroying her career as a trapeze artist. Astrid was only 20 years old. When she murdered Romeo a year later the courts ruled it a justifiable homicide. For several years Astrid plunged into a deep depression. There was a succession of husbands. A one night stand with long-time friend Siegfried Fischbacher (of the famed Siegfried & Roy) produced a son Adolph (who later changed his name to Rudolf). It was a dark time in her life until she met the man who was the love of her life: Sammy Davis, Jr. It was Davis who helped Astrid recover from the loss of her eye and set her on a new career path. Had it not been for Davis' love and guidance, Astrid claims, she would never have become the international singing legend that she is today. After years on the European circuit, playing in the largest halls and palaces, Astrid decided to move into so-called "charity work". Wherever she feels people are most desperately in need of entertainment she travels. She has brought scaled down versions of her shows to the smallest venues throughout the United States. Her goal, was and is, to be the "Mother Theresa of Entertainment". 2004 Miss Astrid of The Va Va Voom Room NYC
Miss Astrid became an international star as the headlining trapeze act of the Cirque De Lune. After her notorious accident which caused the loss of one eye, she retired from show business and became a recluse. After much public speculation, her triumphant return came in a series of one-woman shows at the Moulin Rouge. When her album, Live From The Moulin Rouge! went triple platinum her new career as a chanteuse was cemented.
