Veronique- The "Queen of Quirk's" Raison d'etre

1) I will be exclusively covering accomplished, nationally and internationally recognized artists, music, performances, events, festivals, venues, publications, etc. in the genres of: Vaudeville; Cirque/Sideshow; Spectaculars; Dark/Gothic Cabaret; Burlesque; Gender-Bending; Theatre & Musicals; Retro/Lounge/Tiki; Comedy; Magic; Dance; Fashion; Edge/Fetish, & Off-beat Film in my regular, ongoing column on VeroniQueenOfQuirk.com.

Please Note: If you do not have anything to do with any of the above, please do not request a Friend Add on this profile, nor ask me to cover your event, etc. My personal tastes are much broader, but professionally, I specialize in writing only about the above subjects. Thank you!

2) In addition to being a journalist, I am also a record producer, lyricist; ersatz composer & arranger; parodist; visual artist; model, and expired ballet dancer (Hoofers have a short shelf-life, but music is forever!) Please visit my five other unique profiles on MySpace, below.

3) I live, eat and breath ART! I am inspired by the infinite ways that humans have devised to channel the Creative Sprit. I especially appreciate "under-the-radar" and/or "quirky" talents.

Hello Veronique. It's been a long time since we've Myspazzed. How does your garden grow? I wish I could make it to the accordion festival. I wanted to let you know that we've finished up our album. Please give a listen to the samples on our profile and let me know if you'd like me to send you a press copy to a particular mailing address. We'd be honored if you plied your quill in our direction.
Much love,
- Loki
