Another of the shots from the publicity photoshoot we did in the summer of 1987. Yipes - I can't even remember looking that young!
This is a shot from one of the ballroom numbers we performed for a show in 1989. It ran for a few weeks in May of 1989. I remember it was a retrospective of Gershwin tunes and we were the only dancers, the rest were singers. This is a great shot of myself and my sister Stephanie. I don't remember who made her gown.
This is a shot from the "Punch and Judy" segment of a wonderful children's holiday ballet taken from the famous poem "Twas The Night Before Christmas." We danced in this ballet for a number of years, each year dancing a different part as we grew older and more accomplished. We are the "Punch and Judy" in this segment in the wonderful 'theater' being carried on stage in 1972.
This is one of several publicity shots with my sister Staphanie taken in July of 1987. This thrift store gown was completely transformed into a gorgeous late fifties ball gown by designer Mark Jones.
A shot of my sister Stephanie and I outside the ballroom of the San Francisco Hilton in 1994. We had just performed "The Continental" from the Fred Astaire/Ginger Rogers film "The Gay Divorcee" in these outfits for a private party.
Another publicity shot from July of 1987. My sister Stephanie and I are in the 1920's outfits for our soft shoe number performed to "Tea For Two." We always referred to this routine as the 'geriatric' number since it was slow and was always a hit with that segment of the audience.
The final curtain of the the ballet we performed in for a number of years based on the poem "Twas The Night Before Christmas." We're in the mass of children somewhere.
My sister Stephanie and I grew up dancing together, and our favorite yearly trip was to Feather River Folk Dance Camp in Quincy California high up in the sierras, where this photo was taken.
My parents used this shot as their Christmas card for 1965. It's my favorite of my baby pictures. I had just finished destroying the petunia bed, laughing all the time. It's a key to my personality.
My sister Susan packed and ready to leave town in our home in Novato California sometime in the late 1970s.
My sister Stephanie and I dressed as giant mice for a play in 1972. I don't remember the name of plot of the show.
We traveled quite a bit with our family in the seventies. Here we are on one of our vacations to San Simeon California to tour Hearst Castle.
I had just received a much coveted 'boom box' with enormous headphones for Christmas. Crazy how the hairstyle and headphones have become popular again! I used this photo for one of my t-shirt designs.
My mom Barbara holding me in front of my Aunt Katherine's house (she's standing next to me), and my cousins in 1965.
My Aunt and Uncle posed somewhere in the midwest in the mid 1950s.
My sister Stephanie and I holding our sister Susan at Christmas in our house in Ross California in 1975. She was 4 months old, I was 11 years old.
These galleries feature photographs of myself, family and friends, performances, and old - dare I say vintage? - family photos.

and now for a few words from your host...
This site evolved out of the blog I started earlier this year chronicling events, past performance videos, and photographs of mine - in essence everything someone who has just met me, or known me for years would want to know. Feel free to browse the photo galleries above, the video galleries to the right, and the graphic design gallery to the far right.
And don't forget to visit my blog for the rest of the story...
