Today is the 7 year anniversary of my cavernoma. The brain bleed that had me like a stroke victim and in a brain fog. In 7 years, I have recovered to most of what I was physically before, decided love a more fulfilling life, and followed the neurosurgeon's advice so well that he was surprised and impressed by my recovery progress.

Spite and willpower are powerful motivators.

Happy 7 year bleediversary to me.

1 year ago today, I asked the good people of if they would be my neighbor. I got to meet and perform with some incredible people (including one of my burly heroes !).

What an experience 😁

I know many of you have seen me do comedic burlesque, so I felt it time to remind y'all that I will and do cover myself in blood and eat a communion wafer on stage 😘

Pinups of my Ryder Knightly and Richtor Mortis personas! No matter who I am, there’s always some metal and spook to me 😉
