These two lively redheads are curating and producing an evening of readings and performance. Miss Litteer, actress of stage and screen and Jackie Factory Legend (as Jessica Rabbit Domination) and Miss Weldon, Exotic Dance Queen and Headmistress of The NY School of Burlesque, present a bevy of frighteningly irresistible women. Come experience the Women of Experience! Series readers include: Karen Abbott, Pamela Des Barres, Lily Burana, Deb Devi, Anne Hanavan, Tangerine Jones, Viva Ruiz and Veronica Vera.
KAREN ABBOTT is the New York Times bestselling author of Sin in the Second City. Her forthcoming book, American Rose, tells the story of the legendary Gypsy Rose Lee and Depression-era America.
DEB FROM DEVI is the musician, singer and author of The Language of the Blues: From Alcorub to Zuzu, which the LA Times calls “one of the wittiest, bawdiest and most fascinating dictionaries ever.”
ANNE HANAVAN continues to take steps towards self absolution by writing where she takes the reader inside her head to see, from her perspective, her experiences of street walking, tricking, rape, robberies, jail, and the many people she interacted with along the way.
HEATHER LITTEER is an actress, singer and performance artist. She has toured internationally with Big Art Group and is currently developing Fleshtone with the company. Her movie and television credits are numerous and daring. Heather is also a member of the Legendary Jackie Factory! Where she was known as Jessica Rabbit.
VERONICA VERA founded the world’s first crossdressing academy, Miss Vera’s Finishing School for Boys Who Want to Be Girls as a way to finance a book about what she had learned as a porn star and sex journalist. She’s written two books about her school and is back to working on that memoir.
