The complete video. Better late than never, eh?

Many thanks to my dancers Laura Arrington, Cara Rose DeFabio, and Rachael Dichter. And of course, to Cousin Wonderlette for the documentation!

The Future of San Francisco

Lil Miss Hot Mess — Fri, 23 Sep 2011 07:22:35 +0000

I am OUTRAGED. Between the execution of Troy Davis last night (with this cherry on top today) and the suicide of 14 year old Jamey Rodemeyer, it’s all I can do not to cry my eyes out. I’ve been feeling helpless and can’t fathom how innocent people can be killed like this and what that says about our country. I can’t help asking myself, Why Didn’t Anybody Stop This?

I was going to write a cute and cheeky blog post about the Homo Homecoming fundraiser I’m putting on for John Avalos next Saturday. But instead I’m about to get serious about why I’m supporting him. After years of Bush and Arnold and Gavin (and all of them really), I want someone in power who’s watching out for us. I want someone in City Hall who’s a real person, who’s part of the community, and who’s willing to put their ego aside to fight. I want someone who isn’t going to sell our city to the highest bidder, because I want my friends and the freaks and the families to stay. I want somebody who will help stop some of this madness. I don’t normally put any faith in elections, but I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a viable candidate who gets it and who can hold it down with very few compromises. And that’s why I’m putting my time, energy, and money behind John Avalos.

So please, please, please do 2 things for me right this minute:

1. BUY A TICKET NOW!

2. Invite friends + colleagues by email, Facebook, Twitter, or talking to them!

And for the haters: Do I think that having John Avalos as mayor will solve all the city’s problems? Hell no. But I think he’ll be a thoughtful advocate who will help shape the right conversations and shake up the way things happen in this city. The rest will be up to us.

If you want to get more involved in the Avalos campaign, talk to me or take a look at the campaign website.

UPDATE: Just wanted to add a link to the sweet write-up we got in the SFBG (for posterity).

Thanks to Michael for taking this video on his phone – it’s just a teaser with some footage cut out in the middle (sorry!). Hopefully I’ll get the real deal soon!

For those who don’t know, the inspiration for this number is after the jump:

All Is Love

Lil Miss Hot Mess — Fri, 22 Jul 2011 00:17:23 +0000

One of my latest performances (at least the ones I remember to record) from Some Thing’s Pride show on June 24 at the Stud. It’s to Karen O’s “All Is Love” from Where The Wild Things Are (which I loved, don’t hate). I really wanted to do something sweet and about queer love and connection and family and you know. Enjoy:

Thanks to my chorus of kids: Marc, Maziar, Alex, Jerry Lee, Devon, Jesse, Ivan, Bobby, Matt, Ryan, David, Oscar (and am I forgetting anyone, sorry!). And thanks to Michael for taping! Also, I messed up at one point, but you totally can’t even tell.

tonight!

Sorry it’s belated. I was sick last week, so I canceled and then canceled the cancel. And I’m excited to perform with Sweetcheeks!!!

Night of Cultural Resistance

Lil Miss Hot Mess — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 06:21:59 +0000

10th Annual Night of Cultural Resistance:
We Shall Not Be Moved

Friday, February 26th 6pm-10pm
UC Berkeley Multicultural Community Center
(near Bancroft & Telegraph)

With the 10th anniversary of our Night of Cultural Resistance, we remember the struggle endured by the third world Liberation Front and their fight to secure our right to exist and thrive on this campus. In the face of budget cuts that overwhelmingly threaten underrepresented minority communities, we gather for this year’s NoCR to make it known that WE SHALL NOT BE MOVED. As we celebrate and experience our Night of Cultural Resistance with music, dance, art, poetry and prose from our various cultures, religions, identities, and intersectionalities, we claim the existence of a space that allows our differing worlds to come together as one within the haven of our very own Multicultural Community Center. NoCR is not only a celebration, but a declaration of our solidarity and resistance. We will plant the roots of our resistance and raise our voices like branches far into the skies and into the night. Join us in this year’s Night of Cultural Resistance.

With performances by:

DJ Jose Arias
Kane Aku
Berkerkeley B-Boys and Girls
Lil Miss Hot Mess
Youth Speaks
Yining Chou
Tavae Samuelu
iDub Collective
Night of Cultural Resistance (NoCR) Alums and more!

SOME THING for the Boys

Lil Miss Hot Mess — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 08:58:18 +0000

Photos and video from my number at SOME THING last Friday!

Eternal gratitude to Ed and Ryan for being adorable gay sailors (and kind of last minute too). Everlasting thanks to Des, Jae, and Philip for lending their nautical wear. And appreciations forever to Jerry Lee for taking video (as well as to Maura for taking the video Ryan posted on Facebook, which I don’t know how to embed – but it’s basically the same)!

SOME THING was so fun and I’m so excited to have a new weekly AND weekend show to look forward to.

Here’s video:

More photos are after the jump.

Photos below (and the one at the top) are by Shot in the City – you can view more photos from the night on their Facebook album:

There are also some photos up at SF Weekly, but I’m waiting on permission (and bigger images) from the photog.
