Ten Million Hits and Lookin For Trouble!




Well it's been exactly one year since my first Super Amanda type videos premiered on You Tube and today, my four You Tube channels, My Space film page and Daily Motion account stats were tabulated and I just cleared 10 million hits!

A VERY big thank you to everyone he watches my video, laughs and then wonders if I have breast fetishist or weening issues from childhood and generally supports what I do. Maybe Super Amanda will be retired as a character someday like Sacha Cohen retired "Borat?" or become a guest lecturer at Oxford? Possibly, but until then THANK YOU for watching and hopefully being very entertained!

Coming up next month Brian is visiting from the continent to film my first You Tube videoss for 2008 and then in March I'm going to SEATTLE for the first time to film the music film for "Killing Machine" in High Def for DA Sebasstian and Go-Kustom records. D.A has also kindly asked me to make a cameo appearance in the film "Hot Rod Girls Save the World!" My character is at a party which gets blasted by alien rays, she's in a bathroom with a friend being all girlie when something goes terribly wrong!

So till next time here is a clip from a classic film that I've been hoping someone would post on You Tube for the past two years and yesterday it appeared!
It's Jane Russell the first super bombshell in film history and a great natural actress as well. She is a huge influence on me because I have an almost identical body type and height (minus her incredible cheekbones and naturally sculpted nose) and try to have that same easy going big girl presence when I perform.
The French Line was a Howard Hughes produced screwball comedy musical where Jane is an oil heiress who's main man is intimidated by her success so she takes off on a cruise and switches identities with fashion model to "teach him a lesson." For some reason known only to Howard Hughes, who had director Lloyd Bacon shoot the film in 3D, Jane sings a rollicking, man eating song "Looking For Trouble" in something like a drum majorette's outfit with three strategically placed cutouts AFTER she makes up with her man!
Anyway, it's my kind of song :)

We're The Leopards!!

GOOD NEWS FOR A CHANGE!!



A new species of Clouded Leopard was "discovered" in Borneo. After years of being classifiedas a sub-group it turns out that this Clouded Leopard is as different from mainland CLs as Lions are from Tigers. Rather than site a lot of scientific data I just want to post these pictures and plan a trip to Borneo someday; this is true beauty! The Borneo special edition dark cutie is above and the original recipe is below--I LOVE THEM!

Today you are missed more than usual




I am trying to get past a bad cold and wishing that I had NyQuil.
I was thinking all through this past week about when I was about 20 or 21 years old and used to hang out at The San Francisco Zoo. I had visited almost by accident when friends of mine going to Santa Rosa Junior College had to spend a few hours observing the Colobus Monkey exhibit for their Anthropology courses. The entire place was built during FDR's alphabet soup era of public works program, this one fell under the WPA.
But by the time I was hanging out there it was no longer an example of New Deal triumphs it was simply a dilapidated and unhealthy zoo. Animals died frequently from from easily treatable illnesses and occasionally vandals harmed and even killed animals out of their own mental sickness.
I had a particular fondness for the wild and big cats.
Pretty soon I was obsessed with working there and protecting these animals.
An elderly but spry woman was there almost daily and knew all the lions by name. As i became a regular in my matching Guess mini skirt ensembles, she told me all about the new director and the low down on all the zoo keepers.
