    I Get to Work with Narcissister (I Think)

    Narcissister can do no wrong.  Each time I’ve seen the avant-garde burlesque performance artist, I’ve been amazed at her bizzaro, thought-provoking and sexy acts.  (Some of which are on display at her website).

Among those vying for the Off-Off Broadway award is my longtime pal Vaginal Davis for her conceptual talk show, Vaginal Davis is Speaking from the Diaphragm, presented at PS 122.
