Critics and Emotional Armor As An Artist Wanna be a political artist, woman writer, or solo performer? Then you’d better start growing some emotional armor right now. I had grown certain calluses to public opinion and heckling as a solo woman act doing feminist comedy for decades, but my last 3 years as a political writer lunged knives in places no one attacked when I was a comedian. I have learned 4 things were the collective wisdom that served as my life preserver, letting me end up still alive and kickin’, after going down a Niag...

Become A Powerful Woman Street Performer In my fantasy world of women’s equality and a high artistic bar for street performance, I would probably recommend the following steps for a woman street performer, if my opinion was asked: 1) Memorize your music/act, 2) Stand up!, 3) Learn how to be loud, 4) Don't be a Linda McCartney, 5) Don't resort to cheesey signs, 6) Grow emotional armor, 7) Excel at something, 8) Learn to perform clothed first, 9) Do not let men choose or arrange your material, 10) Lead, don't follow; Create, don't imi...
