Starting with Thank Yous

Hello all you Diamond Minx fans! It's been a busy busy year so far, and I have some exciting plans on the horizon.

Before I get into what i've been doing, and what I will be doing, I wanted to stop and say thank you to some of the wonderful people without whom I couldn't do what I do. I am blessed to have such great friends and associates.

_drake from symbology.ca who designed my gorgeous website. What a talented and cool guy - more than just a techie, he's also a very talented artist and musician. The site is so much more than I hoped it would be. THANK YOU!

One of the things that defines Diamond Minx is my hair... and trust me, it takes a lot of work to maintain a head of platinum blonde ringlets. I'm terribly cruel to my hair what with regular use of hot rollers and peroxide. It's a wonder that I have any hair at all, and that's squarely thanks to...

The lady behind the color is Fatima Casadei (also known as El Camino Royale, rock Burlesque goddess). She specializes in Platinum Blonde, and I haven't let anyone else near my hair with chemicals for years.

The color may be Fatima's, but the style is all Micheal Lamb! My darling gay boyfriend who is another multi-talented person - terrific cook, talented painter, and awesome stylist! ...and he brings me flowers. I love flowers.

And last, but certainly not least - my personal roadie, stage hand, driver, and sweetheart - my boyfriend Charles, who takes it upon himself to make sure my props are set up and taken down, my bags are loaded and unloaded, and without whose driving I would not have been able to do my recent west coast US tour.

Thank you all of you. I'm grateful for the support you give me! ...and for those of you reading this, their contact info is on my "Links" page. I heartily recommend all of them. (but you can't have Charles. he's mine. ;) )
