Very bad news

Okay so this blog thing is supposed to be about my experiences in London, but I guess it's as good a place as any to express my absolute, utter, complete disbelief at the death of Sunny Perkins. We went to high school together, and, believe it or not, she was my date to the junior prom -- I have the pictures to prove it. I wore a black velvet tuxedo jacket I'd borrowed from Damian Miller, and she wore very glamorous palazzo pants.

Although I only ran into her occasionally these days, she still went to the trouble of sending me a little bon voyage note a few weeks ago.

Info on the memorial and stuff is here: http://www.bigburlesque.com/

I really wish I could be there.
