Let’s hear it for those tireless rock fanatics who pour their hearts and souls into letting the world know about new music…and manage to be politically conscious in the process.

Our NYC homeboy Tommy Victor from Prong was shredding it on guitar. I danced my face off.
For my interview with Crusher, Christine chose Crusher’s London writer Alissa Ordabai, because Alissa’s also a guitar player and gets all that guitar geek stuff. We got deep into it about female guitarists, the metaphysics of the blues, Camille Paglia and, oh yeah, the Get Free album.

Jo Boobs Takes It Off – to Devi!
Posted on 01. Nov, 2009 by debra.
Get out your sparkly pasties! Jo “Boobs” Weldon is stripping to Devi songs “Take It Off” and “All That I Need” in her hot new DVD Striptease for Burlesque, Exotic Dance and Every Day. Here’s a peek!
Jo is the headmistress of the New York School of Burlesque and one of my best gal pals. Supportive girlfriends are so important to us hardworking creative types! Jo, me, Jill Morley and Lily Burana formed a little posse (the P Posse; you’ll have to guess what the “P” stands for!) a few years ago. We get together for dinner and root each other on in our various creative pursuits. It’s been so exciting to see them materialize! Jill’s films (Stripped and her upcoming doc on female boxers Fighting It), Lily’s books (Strip City, TRY, I Love a Man in Uniform), my band and our new album, Jo’s school and now her DVDs and her upcoming book The Burlesque Handbook. Woo, go PP!
