Another Photo Set by Jane Kratochvil

Some new photos by one of my favorite live performance photographers Jane Kratochvil who shot me at two Salon NYC events presented by Patrick Soluri between New Year's Eve Eve at The Players Club NYC with George Gee and His Swing Band, and this past weekend at the monthly swing dance party at The Empire Hotel Rooftop with Professor Cunningham and His Old School Band.

This one is one of my favs. The very fabulous and always impeccably dressed DJ Voon and I sharing a moment right before I went on stage.

JK and I post show! Gorgeous isn't she?

It was very foggy that night made a very noir-ish feel on the roof with the hotels sign.

Check out all the great vintage events at The Salon NYC! If you like vintage lifestyle anything whether it's the glamour of women's clothing, the debonair gentlemen's clothing, the swing music, big band sound, check it out!

New Photos by Jane Kratochvil at Macao Trading Company

The talented photographer Jane Kratochvil took these beautiful photos on Monday night where I performed at Macao Trading Company with Dandy Wellington and His Band for their monthly show "SouthSea Soirees". I have just returned from my week long hiking family trip in the Ozarks, and I wasn't quite sure how "on" I would be from a week off away from eyelashes, glitter, bobby pins, etc etc. But once I got there, I was right back in the groove! It was totally packed despite the random snow storm that hit NYC all Monday. I was happy to see all my Macao family like Bryan, Paula, Uros, and so many more. I admit with some guilt, that somehow when you are having this much fun, it doesn't feel like work!

It's always an exquisite luxury for me to perform in another producer/performer's show so that I can just perform and not have to do everything else too. On top of this, Jane is so easy to work with and a sheer talent to work with. We had some time before each act to do some portraits downstairs and really work with the Asian influenced decor at Macao.

Dandy is there on the 3rd Monday of every month, and I am there with "Drunken Dragon Nights" on the 1st Monday of the month. We try to work together as often as we can! He is also at Hotel Chantelle on Tuesday nights and on Saturday during brunch hours.
