There are as many performance artists as there are performance artist categories. Many varying agendas and psychosocial, psychosexual viewpoints. Yet Ms. Wendy City, premier amongst all, is as unique in her choice and spin of subject matter as she is in her pedal to the metal approach and frequent departure. Some vehemently oppose productions such as hers and charge they are not "art" at all. But then, so is the ineffable flexible beauty of that which society calls art. An enchanted but truly unforgiving domain where today's art sensation, is tomorrow's art defenestration. Where yesterday's art of safe passage is today's art of stay in and lock the doors. What type of artist or otherwise she is, remains to the subjective viewer's capricious perspective. Let it here be told that her art is wild romping stomping screaming tearing shouting baring all beauty and repulsion in one none too neat package. A setting where anything is not only possible, but happens with bone shaking unnerving regularity, keeping definitions like "regular" decidedly at extreme distance. So what will you think of this artist extraordinaire who has set the stage on fire figuratively the world over, and when she is not setting the stage afire figuratively, may very well be commanding a raging inferno right before the horrified eyes of the shell shocked spectators?She is not everyone's cup of tea, this much is undeniably true. The best caution to be given is this: see her in action if you dare. [more]

Everyone told Kinneth Green that taking a job at ConoTech was a bad idea--his friends, his girlfriend, old acquaintences in the Junks, and the priests at the Stone Cathedral--but Kinneth could not resist. The opportunity to earn extra money was nothing to the chance that he could have a closer look at the infamous 'black widow' of New Escon City--Lady Madeline Connolly. It was rumored that she may have murdered her husband (and former CEO of ConoTech Industries). It was also rumored that she had purposely used illicit drugs so that her son would be born with birth defects (The child was born missing both his legs, his right arm, and a lung), and would have to live on a respirator for the rest of his life. Both father and son and disappeared over a decade ago. But even worse, some people claim that ConoTech is creating mind-control devices and putting them in their tech. Kinneth is there to find the truth. But Lady Madeline Connolly, who has a taste for young men, rarely lets go of anyone she has gotten her hands on--and Kinneth is now in her sights. [more]
