LIfe in the City of Life

My adventures keep me busy. Far flung and starry-eyed I explore the world one step at a time. From swirling whirls of vision to white blanketing clouds of dust Ive been ingesting the land one hue at a time.








I feel honored to have kept the best company in the passing year of 2010 I feel like I found a secret level on this video game of life.

Honored and excited!

This past weekend I had the honor of getting to meat Mark Ryden (pun intended) at his opening of The Gay 90's Old Thyme Meat Show.

And Wow it has been a busy year thus far my goodness. I had a really great time working with Zine Brown of Thousand Names Productions being an Earth goddess in his upcoming release "Hidden Sister" which Miss Kai Altair (www.kaialtair.com) sings on as well. Joined by super rockstars Sera Solstice, Nicotine, Abby Hertz, Veronica Varlow and Anya Sapakovnova. Cant wait til this one comes out folks. It will surely be a treat.

The Wonderneath- Presale Tickets on Sale Now

With the new year comes new ambitions! Please join us for my newest project*

The Wonderneath- A Circus Theatre Adventure


Ali Schmitz, the creative force crowned Coney Island's Best Mermaid 2009, presents her newest creation, "The Wonderneath," featuring the charming Kai Altair and powerful jazz and blues stylings by Tin Pan.

“The Wonderneath” is a triumphant tale pushing the boundaries of imagination and circus skills (aerial acrobatics, fire performance, puppetry, dance, and more) to complete a story of curiosity and possibility. Set in turn-of-the-century New York City, “The Wonderneath” explores the otherworldly lair rumbling below the city's surface, where steam energy has seeped through granite and crystal, fractalized, and created a dimension where all that is wondered comes to be.

Watch this magical world be discovered and brought to life by Hailey, played by Kai Altair, as she brings the audience with her deep into the Wonderneath and along for the ride of this turbulent adventure. From a fiery soothsayer to man-eating snapdragons to the high-flying queen of the underbelly, this tale has a little something for everyone.

Be dazzled by performances from Claire de Luxe, Jordann Baker, Ali Luminescent, and Ellie Mio of Lady Circus, Ateles Aerial, Renata of Desert Sin and Alchemy Dance Theater, Bex Fabulous, and Flaming Jewel.
