*Excerpt from Lady M's Tumblr*
I have a file on my computer filled with screenshots of newspaper articles/flyers & press releases, website features & blogs plus pictures I was given or purchased rights to of me performing. I have a portfolio book I picked up somewhere that’s almost empty except for two prints two photographers gave me(Ralph Demelio & Sidney Wallace, Both were very kind & very talented) that I intend to fill with print outs of the blogs and these newspaper clippings & articles i’m featured in under my stage name. I’ve decided I’m going to write down some antidotes of escapades and experiences I’ve had the privilege to enjoy as a performer & all the ridiculous rubbish I do & all the crazy, non-conservative “unladylike” feminist, unoppressed, showbizzy, gay & sparkly things my family rolls their eyes at.Then, When I’m old & grey & the sleeve pages are filled with some of the clippings and prints are faded or yellowing. I will track down my young niece’s address…and send this collection of proof of her eccentric Auntys colourful life to her. & hopefully my brother has to listen to “HOLY CRAP MY AUNT WAS FUCKING CRAZY & COOL! Why didn’t you tell me about her? Why did you never let us meet?!” & When I’m a dying old lady with obnoxiously dyed hair, blue eyeshadow, red lipstick,vampire nails, and black fringed shawls, in my bedazzled Victorian style black wicker wheelchair, She’ll track me down and I won’t have to die feeling alone, because I’m probably going to outlive the rest of my ultra conservative family & my friends will all have been long buried after partying too hard, or doing too many dangerous stage stunts. We’ll drink wine & I’ll tell her funny stories until I finally kick it. & that’s how I plan to spend my final hours if I make it to “old” lol.
