Hey guys. I wanted to take a moment and update everyone with the latest, as things have been pretty crazy with the performances and getting ready for the album drop – August 11th!

As many of you know, I am extremely passionate about fashion and fashion trends. I’ve recently been asked a lot about how I choose the outfits I wear – and I wanted to address what fashion means to me here…

My fashion needs to be all woman, all the time. My fashion is voluptuous, sexy and dangerous at times. I pull an immense amount of inspiration and admiration from classic designers such as Edith Head and Adrian Adolph Greenberg, and I am inspired by movies from the 1940’s. I take fashion trends from the 1940’s and inspiration from my favorite designers and twist it all up in an S&M, chic, current way. I love my fashion to be big and voluptuous all of the time – while still being classy. Hopefully you can see these trends in the outfits I choose for my press interviews and for performances…

Things are really moving along with the album release date. I’ve been giving lots of interviews and staying focused on my upcoming performances – here in LA and then in NY and Atlantic City. As many of you have read, “Give You Everything” just went to #1 on the Billboard Dance Chart – so this has been a very exciting time for me and my team. Of course, you know I had to go out and sink my teeth into a big steak to celebrate the news – I went to Morton’s Steak House in LA to celebrate with close friends and family.

I have to share a very touching story with you guys…

I was recently doing an interview for Fusion Radio with Dave Tripper in Chicago. Off the air, he told me that he had recently gone to Milwaukee for their Pride, and he said “Give You Everything” was playing everywhere… His exact words were “You’re huge in Milwaukee!” It makes me so happy to know that people have such a great response to my music – I love that people feel something while listening to me sing. So here’s a shoutout to the people of Milwaukee – you guys are awesome.

Hey guys! First and foremost I hope everyone had a happy and safe Fourth of July weekend. I know I sure did – I didn’t do a thing! Not one single thing – except work out… well, ok, and I think I maybe saw a movie – but that was it… I took the opportunity to rest and relax. I ate at a killer Italian restaurant in Santa Monica called Via Veneto (you guys know about me and my obsession with Italian food!). The food is stellar – you must check it out if you’re in LA or visiting.

I loved performing in San Francisco. They really get into their Pride Fesitval – it was amazing to be a part of. I did two shows up there and they were both a huge hit. So a big thank you for all who attended. We had a great time. I am still rehearsing and I have more upcoming shows int he works – details on those to follow soon.

And of course – the album will drop in August. Soo excited about that!
