I was accepted to be in the Miss Michigan USA 2012 pageant.

YES. WHAT. AWESOME. I’ve never done anything like this before- the closest I’ve ever been to being in a pageant is an obsessive “Miss Congeniality” phase soon after the release of the DVD. [I can still quote the commentary.]

I have to raise a whole bunch of money to be able to compete, and the run down of what I need to do is on my IndieGoGo campaign, where you can donate via PayPal or credit card. There are different perks or prizes for different amounts that you donate, including hand-painted tshirts, handmade pasties, and [at the highest price point] a song written just for you about whatever you choose!

In other news, I’m thinking about starting a podcast, both video and audio, of me ranting about whatever, playing music, doing burlesque acts, etc. I’ll probably record a couple episodes before I start it, so I have regular content to put up at first. I was inspired by my friends over at WDDP, the Working Detectives Dragnet Podcast, who recenty featured my Dragnet burlesque act!  That and I need someone to hear all this music I write and don’t have the means to put out an album right now.

CROWN THE CLOWN PRINCESS!

Love always,
