Interests and Personality
| Biography | I was raised by a pack of wild were-nuns in the mountains of Altadena, just north of Los Angeles. "Ahhhh-oooooo," they howled in the night, to scare off the Protestants and other marauding heathens. That was the perfect training for the business and music of independent film - one of which is currently in post production and two in varying stages of pre-production. Converted to Vodou when the were-nuns hit menopause, crosses drawn and blood boiling. Began making voodoo art to battle the effects of their chin hair growth, dark moods and cackling sanctity. Miss Kitty's Ogu Balanjo (Healing Deity) mask is featured in the just-wrapped New Orleans film "Bolden," about the father of jazz, New Orleans musician Buddy Bolden. No owner of Miss Kitty's Vodou Art has ever been turned into a Zombie, or sold his soul at the crossroads at midnight, far as I know. |

Hey Miz. Susie, one of the friends listed at your site, is ill. A get well letter would do her heart good and cheer her up a bit. We live in a world that does not apriciate art. We must care for eachother. So leave a post on her board if you have time. Put a smile on her face when she gets home from the hospital. L John TOX
