I was Barbie TRAILER (at Summerworks Theatre Festival Aug 5th-15th)

a trailer for my solo performance piece I was Barbie, a real life story ... a spiritual portrait of a glittery, digitally commodified world on the night I was asked to represent Mattel's much loved plastic doll at her official 50th birthday party and the opening night of L'Oreal Fashion Week ... shades of Andy Warhol ... go to www.summerworks.ca for tickets

I so wish I could come see your performances, you've been kind of an inspiration for me. Will you ever release any longer segments from your shows on video? For your fans abroad?

[ninaarsenault]

@Hakuchibijin I would love to tour my shows overseas. It's definately a goal. I want to meet artists in different countries and travel more. Absolutely!
