Hello, Babes...
SO Sorry, I took a bit of a vacation from posting Events for awhile!
The Dog Days of summer are here and, I don't know about you, BUT I feel the itch to get
out and be with my community.
My summer, so far, has been filled with days of diligent work and private creative time.
I must say I'm missing the masses. Please come out and Play!
There are a variety of new events, I have a couple new acts and some revamped, too!
BUT Most seriously... Its summer! Its time to get out and savor the sweat... Many little Fun
and Fabulous shows need your support to continue happening! The economy is low, and
NYC in the summer is hard on all of us, so please come out and support local
entertainment so we can keep bringing it when you need a smile, some inspiration, or a
moment to take your mind off your worries!
Lord knows our shows are affordable!
I'm involved in a bunch of *Very Special* events to keep you coolly contented and amused
in the heat...Here is the rest of my July:
*EVENTS*
1. 7/18 Pinchbottom Declares WAR! @ The Flea (Tribeca, NYC)

| MAY NEWS AND EVENTS! |
[05 May 2008|01:46pm] |
Hello My Frequent Fanciers!
Check out this Months SPIN Magazine...I'm am featured in an article on stylish
people who
attended the Dances of Vice Festival in NYC (http://www.dancesofvice.com/). Its
an
incredible party packed full of the most decadently dressed in the spirit of the
early 20th
century days of forgotten elegance, decadence, creativity, and vice!
AND I have some Fantastic news!!! After years of hard work,obstacles and fierce
diligence
in my art, I am honored to announce that I will be competing in the MISS EXOTIC
WORLD
PAGEANT On Saturday June 7th! It's the Mecca Of Burlesque!
For those of you who do not know...This is a Massive Benefit for the Burlesque
Hall of
Fame and Museum located in Las Vegas.
You may remember the big benefit I threw for them a year ago. (Las Vegas or Bust
(or
Both!))
The Burlesque Hall of Fame™ is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization. Their
mission is to
inspire, educate and entertain the public, fostering an appreciation for and
understanding
of the unique history and heritage of vintage Burlesque--including but not
limited to the
art, artifacts and personal histories of its biggest names and brightest stars.
After that (June 9th thru 16th) I will be hitting the road to LA or a week for
more
photoshoots, show and fun!
Come out and Play with me!
Thanks And I hope to see you soon!
XOXO
Amber Ray

| I dont know about you, but I HATE junk mail! |
[04 Jan 2008|02:14am] |
I'm so sick of having to rip up all the cash advance checks so I can avoid getting frauded.
And I am sick of credit card companies soliciting me to get another!
And it really bums me out that there is all this trash!
Call your credit cards and request for them to stop!
You can also request paperless statements!
It might take 90 days for your credit cards to stop with all the extra mail, but isnt it green?
Isnt it worth it to get rid of the hassles?
I searched for a guide to cleaning up our snail mail boxes.
And boy, have I called them all!!!
Please join me in making a more uncomplicated start to our brand new wonderful year!!!

| If today is your Birthday.... |
[30 Nov 2007|07:09pm] |
NY Post...
November 30, 2007 -- You can go anywhere and do anything over the coming 12 months - all roads and all possibilities are open to you now. How far you travel and how much you accomplish is limited only by your mind's ability to visualize the future and your special place in it. In other words, it's up to you.
Astrology.com...
Forecast for November 2007 to November 2008
Venus harmonizes with Jupiter and Neptune at the time of your birthday this year, and you are more imaginative and attuned to the world of beauty and romance at this time in your life. This year, you’re bound to enjoy increased social opportunities as well as a boost in your personal popularity and magnetism. Others are looking on you favorably, particularly friends and lovers (or potential lovers). You are more friendly, optimistic, and big-hearted than usual. A cheerful and hopeful outlook increases your chances of gaining cooperation from others. You could find that you are more open and trusting of friends and lovers, and that you easily win others‘ trust. Financial benefits may come your way. Gentleness with others is the best way to harness this energy and to attract what you want into your life. There could be truly "magical" times on a romantic and social level. You might even find and fall in love with the person of your dreams. Benefits come through paying attention to your dreams and intuitions. You are more open than ever to finding beauty in people and situations, and this openness subtly attracts interesting and beautiful circumstances into your life.
With the Sun in creative aspect to Neptune, a more sensitive--even mysterious--persona is projected this year, and this can attract pleasantly unusual circumstances (and people) into your life. You will want to reserve time alone--away from the hectic pace of life--for reflection, prayer, and meditation.
Until August 2008, however, Saturn transits square your Sun. You‘ll be working hard at disciplining yourself this year. As you face obstacles to your goals, you begin to see the tools with which you have to overcome them. A dose of realism may seem forced upon you from time to time this year, but your efforts to measure up to expectations can ultimately increase your confidence in your ability to be responsible for yourself. You are likely to have new or increased responsibilities this year, and it might take some time to get adjusted to them. The need to re-structure and re-organize your life will be apparent at some point this year. You may lose yourself in work and responsibilities and take yourself too seriously! As long as you work hard, but take time for relaxation and meditation as well, there is nothing to worry about. Most commonly, this influence suggests that a period of the year ahead may be felt to be physically draining and frustrating. When you begin to feel this influence, all you need to do is take a step back, avoid worrying about what others think of you, and simply apply yourself to your work and duties until it passes. Recognize that it is unlikely that life itself, and circumstances in your life, are challenging. You are challenging yourself by expecting too much. Your ego may be a little frail at this point, and, as a result, you may be harder on yourself than you need be. Much can be accomplished this year. Although you may not see immediate results for your efforts, important groundwork can be laid for the future.
Mars trines Uranus and sextiles Saturn, suggesting bursts of creativity and energy that help you to further your goals. Healthy risk-taking is likely this year, as you are more able to spot an opportunity when you see one. It is easier than usual to break free from habits that have previously held you back from going after what you want in life. Work takes on definite shape, and you can see results from your efforts, or at least foresee success down the road. This gives you a sense of responsibility and a feeling of directedness and purposefulness. It's also a good year to get and feel organized.
With Jupiter conjunct Pluto in your Solar Return chart, an increased need for shared interests with others, as well as for adventurous or risky undertakings, is with you this year as you strive for more personal significance. Benefits may come through those in authority or the government. The year ahead is one of personal growth and expansion--an ambitious time when a desire for success is especially strong. Your ability to sway or persuade others is enhanced. One of the most positive uses of this influence is a drive to better yourself. You might solve a problem that has been in existence for some time, or capitalize upon a resource that was previously hidden. Social or material goals may come into strong focus, and reform could figure this year. Your faith may be reborn or developed strongly now. You might decide to invest your time and energy (and possibly money) into an ambitious new project. You should take advantage of the increased drive this influence brings, but avoid tendencies towards self-righteousness, exaggeration, and obsession. In general, big business, the law, grants, taxes, education, and commerce are well-starred for you this year. Increased influence, faith, and insight are likely in the year ahead.
An increased desire to improve your life, and for more success in general, is with you this year. This is a year in which you have the desire to go for gold with determination, although circumstances are such that you need to get over a few humps. Romantic bliss (or at least contentment) may be had during this period of your life! It's a strong year for creativity, romance, and big business, as long as you pace yourself and remain realistic.
2007 is a Number Five year for you. Ruled by Mercury. This is a year of exploration and freedom. It's a time when exploration and reaching out to others brings opportunities. It's a good time to advertise and sell. Surprises are in store, and the routine is broken. This is a year when exciting relationships can be formed, or, if you are already in a partnership, new life is breathed into the relationship. Advice - explore, look for adventure, keep your eyes open for opportunities, mingle.
2008 will be a Number Six year for you. Ruled by Venus. This is a year of relative contentment. It is a time when love is the easiest to attract, and partnerships formed under this vibration have a better chance for longevity. You are able to attract others, and material things as well, this year. This is a good year for establishing harmony in the family and in the home. Advice - develop existing relationships, be positive and receptive because these kinds of energies help you to attract what you desire.
The ruling planet for this day is Jupiter as well as the ruling planet for this sign. What does a double Jupiter mean to the November 30th person? Vision, space and most of all unparalleled wisdom. this person has all the tools to change the world and most usually do in some way or another. They can sometimes cause themselves problems by reacting too sharply to an issue. As a mate, the November 30th person is witty and spontaneous. The ideal mate of this person would be able to accept (not necessarily agree) with their mates views.

Question Your Beliefs.
Question your beliefs, your reason for existence.
Question your will. What will become of you in the end?
This is necessary for all of humanity, but most of us do not seek out an answer. We merely continue on, conforming to a society that creates a perpetual state of depression and increases the tendency towards suicide. Ask yourself, what are you doing it for?
Take an honest look at the pillars of this civilization, media destroys truth, schools destroy knowledge, religions destroy spirituality, and governments destroy freedom.
Ponder the meaning of Your Own existence and what YOU could become with your own self will. Not the dogma of greed stricken establishments. Running along the path of capital gain to be on TV and show how much money they have, rather than pronounce themselves true to their instincts and true to their hearts.
Today our world - (both internal and external) is literally full of hate and war, and this conflict is just a piece in the grand design of the Gods. At the dawn of every new Aeon there is a clash between the old and the new. At present humanity is being summoned along the path of enlightenment, while we must still shake free from the chains of fear and false love. Secrets are kept veiled from humanity through religion, the governments of the world, and their voice in the media.
The absolute most relevant issue of the day is mind control, but those whom we trust to keep us informed are not mentioning this for a reason. They have hidden higher levels of consciousness from all! They continue to halt and erode the intellectual growth of humanity. They lie to you about what they know, consciously telling everyone half truths pertaining to the mind, body and beyond... The Truth is that we all have to wake up from a hypnotism that is installed in our minds from birth.
By accessing the potential of the human mind we all can use many powers in ourselves. Strengths that we have previously been prohibited from developing due to a form of mass mind control. We have to take control of our minds. Of Our Will! With will power we can de-program ourselves from the brainwashing nonsense that has been installed in our minds by the spiritual and material elite.
The elite know how to use this power and have no problem using it against you. They are extraordinarily wealthy and wicked; their loyal servants are your 'religious' leaders and your government. They control your media, your education systems, and your authorities. They protect you and keep you dumb for a reason. You are their slave. And they are the walls to your prison.
There is no better way to keep slaves in slavery than to have them think they are free. Why would you want to escape your current life, the only life you know of, if you do not know a better life exists?
Throughout history slaves have always been a valuable and highly protected resource. Today is no different. You are a slave. You are given one choice from birth - to commit yourself to a system or suffer the consequences. It's true whether you believe it or not. There is a freedom from your slavery, from the cage they have built around your true possibility.
It's time for you to know that freedom.
-Aleister Crowley-

| The Mayonnaise Jar and 2 CUPS OF COFFEE |
[30 Oct 2007|01:26am] |
One of my favorite email chains!!!
When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 Hours
in a day is not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar
and 2 cups of coffee.
A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in
front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very
large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf
balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed
that it was.
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the
jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open
areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the
jar was full. They agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar.
Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if
the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous "yes."
The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table
and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the
empty space between the sand. The students laughed.
"Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided, "I want you to
recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the
important things - God, family, children, health, friends, and
favorite passions - things that if everything else was lost and only
they remained, your life would still be full.
The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, house, and
car.
The sand is everything else -- the small stuff.
"If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no
room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you
spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have
room for the things that are important to you.
So...
Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play
with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your
partner out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to
clean the house and fix the disposal.
"Take care of the golf balls first -- the things that really matter.
Set your priorities. The rest is just sand."
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee
represented.
The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you
that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a
couple of cups of coffee with a friend."
Please share this with someone you care about.

10/26 Globesity Festival @ Theater for the New City
Burlesque Show @ 11pm
This is an Announcement of a Showdown
. . . From the Personal to the Global . . .
GLOBESITY is the over consumption of all natural elements that create and sustain life on
Earth – some of the most vital and visible being water, minerals, oil, and FOOD. Our
approach to food and sustenance is destroying our personal and social health. Our Earth
and our Bodies cannot sustain the beastly grind of consumption. This beast is Globesity. It
has been named. Now is the hour of confrontation.
The GLOBESITY FESTIVAL is razor sharp performance, comedy, education, celebration and
collaboration. With Theatre as our laboratory, we are cooking & cutting up ingredients for
SOLUTIONS.
All participating artists will engage in a juice fast, during which they will conceive a
theatrical performance in response to consumerism. Then, they will develop these
conceptions to be premiered at the festival.
The Globesity Festival is FREE to Everyone.
(That Means You Don't Pay.)
The Globesity Festival is inter-generational and cross-community collaboration. We are
calling all the Elders, The Established, The Emerging artists, activists, instigators,
agitators, innovators, entrepreneurs who with your words, ways, and wares dream into
being SOLUTIONS to the climate of hyper-consumption and consumerism. People from
across the city and worldwide are urged to fast in solidarity for solutions.
COME JOIN US for a Week of discussions, solutions, community building and
PERFORMANCE.
All your questions answered: info@theglobesityfe stival.org
The Festival runs in complexity October 22nd thru the 28th.
