DARLINDA JUST DARLINDA

I love March, why you ask? Well March is the month that brings us SPRING! And that means we are close to warm weather, sunshine and colorful flowers!

The Schlep Sisters are out and about this Spring! Along with Thirsty Girl Productions we bring you The Burning Bush vs The Second Coming on April 3rd! We’re also delighted to tell you that THE SCHLEP SISTERS will be performing at THE CONEY ISLAND GALA BENEFIT 30 year anniversary Fundraiser on March 25th!

March brings the appearance of my favorite band!  NUDE comes out ONCE a year on the first day of Spring. Keep in touch with me and I’ll have you up to date as to where you can see NUDE!

All the juicy details are below, PLUS at the very bottom there are fantastic shots from The Schlep Sisters photo shoot with Ted D’Ottavio and my photo shoot with Elsa Quarsell and Bearlinda!
