They say the brain is the biggest erogenous zone, but getting turned on is pointless without a body with which to enjoy the pay off. (Also, it's tricky to fit an entire brain in one's mouth.) This is why stories of brilliant thinkers and entertainers getting caught with their pants down are a dime a dozen. The body rules. The body controls the mind.
And it's deeper than that. On his deathbed, Christopher Hitchens wrote that his physical suffering made him realize, "I don't have a body, I am a body."
In this spirit, I present for your erogenous enjoyment BODY TO BODY TO BODY, a night of performances from three of my favorite bodies: Alison Clancy's, Adrienne Truscott's, and my own.
ALISON CLANCY is simply one of the most breathtaking dancers and performers I've seen in New York. She dances with the Metropolitan Opera and leads the dream thrash band HUFF THIS! She will present a solo dance called IF I LET GO THIS WILL BE ECSTASY.
ADRIENNE TRUSCOTT, one half of the legendary Wau Wau Sisters and a choreographer and performance artist who just staged the acclaimed show "Too Freedom" at The Kitchen, will present a one-of-a-kind, impossible-to-describe performance called I DON'T MEAN TO BRAG: ADRIENNE TRUSCOTT'S ONE-LADY RAPE ABOUT COMEDY STARRING HER PUSSY AND LITTLE ELSE.
And I, as SMOOTA, will wear leather pants and sing songs about my body, your body, and the twain at which they meet.
It all takes place...
