hey everyone!

flipside flame did a fantastic story / write-up in last year's final issue before the burn. it can be found at tinyurl.com/pf9lx

i sent them these suggestions this year, and am posting it here as i thought it was a nice update for those not in the know!

more details to come re: Miss Flipside 2007!


thanks again for the huge spread in last year's final flipside flame. it gave us all such a big warm fuzzy! :)

of course we are coming back this year to do Miss Flipside 2007 (our 3rd year at flipside) and the year has brought us many wonderful things, some big changes, and unfortunately some bad news.

first the good news!

miss aieyai yai yai (2005 + 2006) has since moved from houston to arizona to be with miss todd (2005), who she met backstage at the 2005 pageant! aw, pageant luuuurve! she is cc-ed above.

miss bad kitty (2005 + 2006) has since moved from houston to LA to be with her roXtar boyfriend. they are expecting a child in august (my birthday is the 3rd, i am keeping my fingers crossed :) she hopes to make it to flipside, but with the child coming, she may not be able to - which makes her most sad. she is cc-ed above

miss alabama slamma hosted the first ever Miss Myscheivia 2006 Pageant! (i can get her contact info off tribe if you like)

now for the bad news:

new yorker killagrrrl, a MBRC Project volunteer and miss flipside 2005 contestant, suddenly fell ill while visiting san francisco burners over new years. she has been in a coma ever since, due to a previously undiagnosed condition called moyamoya. more info can be found here: www.asylumvillage.com/killa.htm you can see several photos from 2 flipsides - killa took a special interest in meeting burners all over the country (philly, boston, upstate NY, san francisco, texas, toronto, etc) and had plans to meet more overseas in the future. we are devastated she will not be making the trip this year with us. i have since moved back to SF (my home before NYC) and have been visiting regularly. we hope she regains consciousness before we leave for flipside - so we can at least tell her about it!

random NYC news:
Hookers Local 147, a camp Whisky + Whores Saloon offshoot, will be attending flipside this year! yay more crazy new yorkers!

thats all for now...
