Have the Day That You Deserve
Hey friends I'm crowdfunding for a short I'll be directing in a few short weeks. I'm only 960 bucks away from my goal.

Hi. It's been a while.
You can find me writing over here these days. You can buy my book(s) here. You can watch the BBC1 / Hulu show I wrote (although I personally wasn't overly happy with the direction and schlocky thriller vibe the BBC foisted on me during production) here. You can read my articles, contact my reps and check out my photography here. You can find me on insta here, but don't bother with twitter as I'm not on it.

IRMO - Crowdfunding my way back to creativity
Hey guys. It's been a hella long time since I updated this blog. Long enough that I have morphed into a Californian, speech wise, got married, had a baby, become a screenwriter and journalist, left behind the days of satiating my writing thirst with daily Mimi updates.... Mimi and New York seems like a very long time ago, almost as if it happened to someone else. Almost.

Goodbye
After I left stripping and New York, got a book deal and turned to screenwriting, I didn't want to write a blog about my life and opinions any more. I was tired of the trolls and the criticism, and tired of the attention, and tired of sharing parts of my life which should, by rights, have been private.

Star of Tomorrow
The running joke in my little family right now is that I'm a Screen International Star of Tomorrow - "But not today!" as my husband keeps saying, laughing at his own joke. Click on the pdf link at the bottom of the article for the whole piece - or here's a sneak preview.

Playa Love
There’s a man in the corner of the bar, slugging his beer, quiet and remote. He doesn’t fit in here. He’s not a queen, a pimp or a Post Office worker, so I can only guess that he is, like me, a tourist on the back of life's fucking beach cruiser, along for the ride. It’s 2005 and I have fake blonde stripper hair down to my waist, panda rimmed eyes, a Bronx twang that I picked up because the bartender could never understand me when I asked for water.

Silence
The helicopters circling - droning, lazy mosquitoes - the sirens shrieking past in a tantrum. I can't tell if I was merely unobservant before, but one day I noticed them, and since that time they've rarely paused. I used to live in comfortable silence, and then I fell and scraped my skin raw through the abrasion of the police state, and found the wound never quite heals.
When I stripped in Manhattan I wrote urgently and feverishly, because the words were the only company I had.

WE ARE ALL SARAH MASON
As a child, I used to read about the ANC, about Feminists, about the Civil Rights Movement, The Black Panthers - without ever dreaming that I would see something as powerful in my lifetime, obsessed as our generation is with generic, mass produced crap like Us Weekly and Keeping up With The Kardashians. As Occupiers, however, we were all universally pleased - if skeptical and surprised - that 'The Protestor' was recognized as Time's Person of the Year.

MIC CHECK! Skid Row Allstars Vs. LAPD Young Gunz
This afternoon, eight protestors connected with Occupy LA (including myself) took up the LAPD's invitation to a basketball game aimed "To bring together the public, law enforcement and homeless communities in an effort to strengthen relationships and bring awareness to those in need." The game was between "The LAPD Young Gunz" - a basketball team from the LAPD that trains all year round - and "The Skid Row Allstars" - a group of players from various missions across downtown LA, who do not have a
