Last night, Gregory and I spent an amazing evening at the STUNNING Hollywood Hill-top music studio/cat temple/sanctuary/home of our friends, Ronnie Pontiac and Tamra Spivey, whose band, Lucid Nation , will open both your eyes and your heart to the truths all around you — and change your motherfucking life.
Aside from the glorious food, company, and conversation, we were privileged to be among the very first people invited to hear the music from their latest project, “Mommie Dearest the Musical”, which will undoubtedly be a HUGE success when unleashed onto the world (the incomparable Bruce Vilanch wants to direct!). Needless to say, we were completely BLOWN AWAY.
Ronnie and Miss Tamra…thanks so much for allowing us to partake of the awesomeness of yourselves and your colleagues and compadres. The evening was one we shall not soon forget. I can’t wait until the rest of the world has the chance to revel, delight, and stand awestruck in the brilliance of what you guys have created.
Muffy Bolding is a mother/writer/actor/knitter/feminist/withered debutante who likes the smell of asparagus pee, and remains obsessed with the bathroom hygiene of her three children -- despite the fact that they are 23, 19, and 16. She is blissfully married to a cute Jewish boy who looks like Willie Wonka, but remains tragically in love with the dead poet, Ted Hughes. She has the mouth of a Teamster, and her patron saint is Rocco (pestilence relief.) Ms. Bolding lives in Southern California, where she enjoys typing words, making movies, and plucking the rings from the fingers of the dead. She was the co-creator and Editor-in-Chief of the award winning satire zine, Fresno Lampoon, and in between writing screenplays, carnival barking, and savagely threatening her trio of darling larvae with a wooden spoon, she currently publishes the zine, "Withered Debutante." More of her work can also be found in the anthology, "Mamaphonic: Balancing Motherhood and Other Creative Acts", the compilation zine, "Mamaphiles III: Coming Home", as well as in The Cortland Review and hipmama.com. She is currently writing and producing for film and television, and working on a book of essays entitled, "Inside A Chinese Dragon." She has slept around, but not nearly as much as she would have liked.
