The night I joined The Dumpsta Players, I was wearing a blond beehive wig, silver mini dress, and white go-go boots. It was Prom Trash 2002. I didn't expect much, I was just happy to have an occasion to wear such an outfit. While I did not get to be crowned Miss Prom Trash 2002 to the sounds of Debbie Gibson's "Lost in Your Eyes," I was a runner-up and won Best Hair. It was one of the biggest achievements in my little life.

My Dumpsta resume includes various freaks and geeks, from Goober Nosepicker the Creepy Man in The Office to one-half of Russian faux-lesbians T.A.T.U.. But my most beloved character is Mrs. Miller, a very fast and loose interpretation of the 60s housewife, frequent Merv Griffin guest, and cult favorite best known for her unintentionally funny versions of songs by Petula Clark and The Lemon Pipers.

All of this stems from a need to live out my Carol Burnett fantasy, and other delusions created in my mind from watching too many 70s variety shows as a child. It's my greatest wish to stage a Hedwig-like musical based on X-Ray Spex's "Germ Free Adolescents."

When I'm not running around acting like a freak in bars, I'm a merchandiser for a huge chain record store, a promoter for Plain Parade and Sugar Town, an occasional DJ, a music critic, and infrequent blogger:
