damn, I never got to see the VOODOO QUEENS but I did worship at their alter from across the pond ~

I used to play this in my early dj sets (c. 2000!) at house parties around N/NE Portland

I kinda like to creep around Asian grocers & photograph their eyeliner displays…

We have been huge fans of VIBC (Vancouver International Bhangra Celebration) since its inception in 2004. This year we were honored to headline both Friday & Saturday night. Here is what went down at Downtown Bhangra in front of The Vancouver Art Gallery where boyz & girls from several of the Bhangra teams joined me on stage… But first I had to take my pic with Saini Surinder & Gupsy Aujla (below)!!!

Unless you lay about on a pile of pillows all day, the idea of something dangling precariously on your head can seem pretty impractical.
Of course photo shoots are fantasy posed as reality.
Here’s a few of my favorite divas who happen to be working women too…Up your caste! Call out on Labor Day!! Happy May day♥ #workingclassforever … xoxo

I had the honor & privilege to teach some very young ladies a bollywood / bhangra routine. My first choreographed piece that was performed in front an audience! I’m sure they were more nervous than me… yet somehow they convinced me to dance with them. Many thanks to the Portland DART School for hosting me.
