Post published:October 9, 2017 This was one of the more meaningful weekends I’ve had in a very long time. THE FEELS WERE REAL at my 20-year #nureunion, and so was the turn-out! A whopping 520-something class of ’97 alumni returned– the LARGEST 20-year reunion in Northwestern University HISTORY! I wore head-to-toe purple 4 days straight, assaulted our school mascot, did a full back-bend on the dance floor, and way out-spirited the cheerleaders (note the strategically placed paw to cover my wild-kitty). The campus was STUNNING– like a swanky, smart, Garden of Eden; and my classmates looked and are doing INCREDIBLE. I personally was relieved to not have to lie about inventing post-its, but nor did anyone– we’re all just killin’ it in our own, wildcat-way! The only disappointment was the football team… just like when we were there! Fellow theatre majors will have a giggle at my serendipitous encounters with Linda Gates & Rives Collins, and Broadway musical fans will appreciate the Heather Headley-Musso & Catherine Brunelle sightings. (Oh, and Johnny Cochran’s right hand-man, though I digress…) For me, however, the most significant part of the weekend was reuniting with “my people,” the artists/friends with whom I shared 4 of the most intellectually stimulating, creatively inspiring, fearless, fun, and formative years of my life. You all set the life-bar high!!! I β€οΈ you, Wildcats… See you again at the next one!

Post published:October 4, 2017 Fan turned friend, Jordan Rodarte caught RuPaul’s Drag Race fan-favorite, Ongina doing a “Pepper” impersonation live on camera from Mickey’s. It’s truly the sincerest form of flattery!
Post published:October 3, 2017 This sweet, little boy just stole, then broke my heart! He and his mom, my dear friend, Kim Brooks came to visit me in Dubuque over the weekend. (His first time meeting, in his words, a “pop star.”) They’re back home in Minneapolis now, and apparently, he REALLY misses me. π’This photo tho!
