Strange Life.
When I started this little writing experiment last Fall it was because I wanted to document my first gig as a back-up vocalist. On the biggest concert tour in history. Also, Greg Garbo from the Jonas Brothers and Miley’s keyboard player, Mike Schmid were both blogging so I felt it was my responsibility to talk about myself too, because lordy knows they were not going to talk about me nearly enough for my liking. I have a track on Weaponize called Strange Life so I christened my blog with that title. It seemed fitting.
Here we are, 10 months later and my life has never been stranger. I mean this in a good way. It is a rare thing, indeed, for a person to have a career and personal life that so vastly blows away anything that mere imagination could concoct.
For example, this was how I spent last Friday morning, courtesy of Vashon’s iPhone at The Today Show in NYC as we prepared to soundcheck for Miley’s set.
nadia and me get ready to shake them asses.
In other news, my girlies from the late, lamented Shut Up Stella continue to kick ass and take names on their solo projects. Jessie Malakouti just released this video for the song, Trash Me. She wrote, produced and financed the video by herself which is a stunning accomplishment no matter what the final result. The fact that it looks gorgeous is frosting, baby. Check my little sis out:
Dinner at Hungry Cat tonight with USA, Ryan McMillan and his wife Alana. So excited.

Kay you and Mike have worked your tails off to get where you are.
You can comment on your adventures and we enjoy every
event that takes place. Knowing the road you both have traveled.
From Cleo at the hat shell in the summer, to The solo work and shows
at TT the Bears, To the bringing of life to your children, and Lilith Fair
Through the big move to LA, **Crushing Boston fans** *But we understood of course.
Then going into readjustment mode, and getting stable in LA, with shows both
in LA and *Boston *in the summer *when you should have been on Vacation,
**But we understood, and enjoyed that you wanted to give us something
to let us know you where still with us.
Now Your moving up the life highway **And we all knew you would.
USA is also moving and doing very well in his own right,
*Besides having twitter envy.. He’s been working hard as well.
I think what your blog has shown us all is,
all sides, from managing family, to friends and loves,
to views and counter views on politics..
Life on the road, behind the scenes, reuniting with Stacie,
and all the Joy of the fun your having.
Kay you keep your balance like a dancer, Your focus is always on target
Besides the use of peter pan bus lines to Woodshole, your moving and styling !
Your blog shares your vision in detail, because your such a good writer.
So we all can clearly see what your writing in our heads,.
Keep up the good work ! We “always” knew you’d be loved by all.
PS && come back and do a few shows in boston ASAP *nudge*

Singing with Miley you won the jackpot! Enjoy it and gloat, like that happens every day?
Also, you said it - you and Jess look like sisterz, can’t help it, I think so. Trash Me is a fabulous song.
