Jupiter

I feel like a wave pulling my gown of sea tendrels from the bottom of the ocean so that i may step up these stairs and then release it to the ground. Release and let go of any uncessary rubbish, to stop holding all things as treasures, minimize, seek openess.

Walk into uncharted territory of my own existance. Explore inspiration and create a holding space for the new. A mental upgrade. A moment in time. A glimpse to the future. An homage to the past.

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.

Ali is performing Fire with Copal at Lost Circus this Saturday night!!

Come Join us for the dark cabaret steampunky fun!!

Mermaid Lagoon: A Benefit for The Oceanic Preservation Society & The Gulf Coast

Once upon a time, in a blue lagoon not so far from New York City, there lived a village full of beautiful Mermaids. Famous for their dangerous beauty and bewitching songs, these mermaids were known the world over for their charms and talents used for pulling sailors to their doom beneath the waves. Legend tells that for one night in the deep of summer their lagoon is safe for mortal travelers. They ask only that you make an offering to The Sea, and dance with them...

On Saturday, July 24th, an alluring and eclectic group of all-female performers will come together for one night only at The House of Yes for the "Mermaid Lagoon" ocean benefit. Funds will go directly to The Oceanic Preservation Society (creators of the Oscar winning documentary "The Cove”) and to Gulf Coast clean-up efforts.
Kai Altair will perform songs from her solo EP release: Star of The Sea, and the night will also include spellbinding performances by burlesque beauty Veronica Varlow, Ali Luminescent (Coney Island's Best Mermaid 2009), tribal belly dance by Desert Sin, and sea-themed aerial and glass walking performances by members of Lady Circus. The evening will feature a bio-luminescent lagoon full of bellydancing mermaids and handmade tropical drinks, with DJ Joey Nova spinning a special cocktail of new wave and electro-bellydance all night long.

Those who cannot attend are encouraged to send donations HERE. http://tinyurl.com/mermaidlagoon

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.
