The
History of Bathtubgirl.
I was living in
San Diego at the time (February 1999) when my crazy old astrologer friend,
Timothy, gave me a small vial of red syrupy liquid. He said, use this
liquid for good luck on the night of a full moon and remember, this
concoction needs water to create its magic. I walked home knowingly.
The moon was full. I ran myself a hot bath and climbed into the tub.
When I finished pouring the liquid onto my belly, I felt a strange sensation.
My cheeks began to flush. The room began to blur. I gazed into my small
plastic shower mirror. Then a few minutes later, the mirror spoke.

"You
are Bathtubgirl. The liquidy voice seemed to pulse right through
me."
You mean me, I
am Bathtubgirl? Yes, said the voice, you are Bathtubgirl. I began to
splash in the water with great zest. My vision grew deeper. I called
on the moon to bless my surreal adventure. But instead of falling down
a hole like Alice in Wonderland, I fell into a trance in my bathtub.
When I am not
characterizing myself as Bathtubgirl, I am Kim, a modern day gypsy.
I was born and raised in Detroit, Mi. That's right, the Motor City.
I went to college in New Orleans where I spent five years at Loyola
University studying Film and Art History. Since then I have lived in:
San Francisco, Ann Arbor, Sante Fe, Chicago, San Diego, and Los Angeles.
I am currently living in Sedona, Arizona.
At one time I was
doing seven live streaming shows per week; Spaceage Vaudeville, Bedtime
Stories, A Real Bath, Friday Happy Hour, A Night with P4P,
Saturday Electronica Hour, and The Church of Love.
I will return to the tub again, for now read my journal.
