Every once in a while you meet people who become great teachers in your life. I’ve had this experience possibly more than most people – clearly the Universe thinks I’ve a lot to learn! But these are relationships I’m so very grateful for. I’d like to share one of my most recent educational relationships with you today.
Camp Camp Revolution
One evening at a fundraising event I was performing at, my squishy friend LadyTravTrav (also known as the GENIUS graphic designer for my last two singles) implored me to stay on after I had performed to watch a hip new group = Camp Camp Revolution. LTT is always at the forefront of all things pop culture so I packed up my gear and found a comfortable front-of-stage position with Fiona.
And then my life changed. CCR entered the stage and I spent a good part of their set with a furrowed brow and my mouth slightly ajar. WTF. Seriously, WTF. Who are these people? Where did they come from? They’re singing and rapping and dancing about SameSame, The Peel and Grindr.
Cesch & Charlotte - CCR Offical Dancers.
Then there’s the other two. Are they back up dancers? No – now she’s spinning rhymes, she’s hilarious! What’s with the bling on the monotone phone? OMGZ, the other one has whipped cream cup cakes on her boobs.

Then I got it. They fo reel. F0 R33L. The most hilarious, quirky analysis of society and pop culture in Australia right now.

So then Fion and I stalked them good and proper. You may remember three of the four as my back up dancers at my launch of *FUNNY BUNNY* back in January. That was just the start of my Grande Plan to abduct them all and keep them in our wardrobe.
This was my first opportunity to really get to know “Cesch Monet” and “Charolotte Web” – CCRs back up dancers – soon to be mine! Together they are also known as the Br00klyn Queenz – a bitchin DJ duo of force and outrageous glamour.
NO PICTURES!
Let me be honest here. These kids are young. Even I feel old around them. They describe their weekends as being totes cray cray and they have DR34/\/\5 about their futures.
But these two ladies are something else entirely. Their extreme personas are entirely contagious. They approach anyone within a 15 meter radius with camera in hand informing them ‘I’m sorry, no photos today!’. They take personal expression and make it an extreme sport.
Yep, that's me.
Who am I kidding – you HAVE to check them out. I can’t describe them in a blog. Get to a gig. Follow their Tumblr. I warn you though, you may end up finding yourself purchasing fluorescent leggings, basket ball singlets and considering a wig wardrobe. Don’t say I didn’t tell you.
Br00klyn Queenz, thank you, you cray cray mofos, for changing my life and making me feel like I can express my inner desires, no matter how perplexing they may seem.
Never EVER stop being your wonderful selves. I love you both long time.
