Lil Miss Hot Mess — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 08:19:16 +0000

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!

Early Video from Kate Bush Night

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:

Make My Dream Come True

Lil Miss Hot Mess — Fri, 26 Aug 2011 06:35:01 +0000

No, my dream is not to become a major movie star. It’s not really even to play Michelle Tea in a short film version of Valencia — as my roommate asked, “isn’t that every young-queer-who-lives-in-the-Mission’s dream?” The answer, as we all know, is YES. Which is why it doesn’t count as my dream.

My real dream has been to have a KICKSTARTER CAMPAIGN! Seriously, everyone is doing it and I want in on the action. It’s like free money right? And finally I have a reason! So please take a look at our campaign, chip in a few bucks (every dollar counts, NOTAFLOF, blah blah blah), etc. I’m always keeping score.

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.

A Farewell to Frameline

Lil Miss Hot Mess — Thu, 19 May 2011 19:44:58 +0000

Yesterday was my last day working for Frameline, which left me with a heavy heart. It’s a job I’ve loved over the past three years, but it’s time for new challenges and a change of scenery!

I once was given an award by a staff member for “Best use of the Frameline brand to promote herself,” so I had to live up to that one last time, and created this video to so “so long” (never “goodbye”) to my family there:

But trust: I’ll still be kicking it around the festival!

PS: Apologies that the video is a little squished — I can’t figure out the right compression specs for this mother!

Update: my video got reposted on Queerty (thanks!) and the video has reached more than 2000 views, which equals more than my little brother’s rap video so I am happy.

YouTube Activism

OMG, I’ve been SO bad about updating my blog lately. Sorry! I’ve been a very very very busy busy busy girl! I still don’t have time, but I wanted to post these two great videos, which both touch on issues (I hate that word) that I deeply care about:

Also, just such great uses of pop music. Really charming.

Bat Mitzvah video

Lil Miss Hot Mess — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 17:26:57 +0000

Thanks to Ains for sending this video along!

Don’t you love how it kind of looks like an actual Bat Mitzvah video, what with the Horah and everything?

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.
