April 10th, 2007 Wow. Lots of news to share. For the most current updates be sure to check www.myspace.com/michellehotaling and www.xanga.com/msdiatribe because they are more easily maintained and frequented. Check out the new gallery from the recent Porcelain Doll themed shoot. It's very urban, raw, and vintage-Laura Nyro. Expect dates for upcoming gigs soon (waiting for confirmation). Also, John DeAmara filmed footage for the "You Shoulda" video, which you can expect in the next month. It's very film noire. Michelle is in the Spring Edition '07 of YRB Magazine. You can find me in three fashion editorial pages of the Dirt Fashion Sneak Peak. Below is one of the images... I think Sappho would approve. |
June 2007 Also, you can see photos from last month's gig at the Underscore. It was a great show. Photos are available here. |
