For years Vaginal Davis has performed on our stage and been a part of our family. Although technically a Los Angeles Girl she will always be a NEW YORK CITY GIRL to us. -Queenmum

Walking installation piece, Vaginal Davis for almost two decades has been known as a performing and visual arts treasure. Her medium is the indefinate nature of her own whimsy. Whether tweeking the notion of an "art rock concept" band---black fag, !Cholita-the female Menudo, Pedro Muriel & Esther (PME) or deconstructing tired show biz shtick via her experiemental film ouvre, she has been at the forefront of a new breed of art mavericks who take the Warhol adage of everyone will be famous for 15 minutes one step further, by creating new movements every 15 minutes. After taking Europa by storm this year at the Venice Biennale and re-doing Berlin at the Rich and Famous performance art festival, she continued to stomp through the continent with stops in Greece, France, Switzerland and England, whether it was a gallery show or performance piece she never fails to drop jaws and inspire.

The following biographical information was discovered from an unauthorized bio of Vaginal Davis and contains information Ms. Davis doesn't want people to know about her because it takes away from her working class punk rock oi, oi oi credibility.

Vaginal Davis named herself after her idol, the revolutionary icon Angela Davis. The middle name of "Cream" was given to her by the late musician and writer Craig Lee (Bags) when he noticed that fans would bring her Vaginal Creams, ointments and supositories to her early 80s shows with The Afro Sisters.

Ms. Davis' three concept bands, Cholita, the female Menudo, black fag with Beck's mom Bibbe Hansen and Pedro, Muriel & Esther (PME) with Glen Meadmore go in and out of hiatus. PME's most current CD is The White To Be Angry which was produced in Chicago by Steve Albini (Nirvana). The band has enough material for another CD tentatively titled "Trust Fund" and they are currently label-shopping.

Ms. Davis has been a subcultural figure in the seminal music and art scenes since she was a teenager from the ghettos of Watts who grifted her way into a scholarship at the exclusive Swiss boarding school Le Rosey at age 14, getting kicked out by 15 for a scandal involving Billy Idol when he was with the band Generation X. She wound up in Wallingford, Conn on another scholarship for underpriveledged children at the prep school Choate/Rosemary. She was booted again due to some incident involving a boy committing suicide over her. She entered college early getting kicked out of Dartmouth, Harvard and Columbia and has worked full-time as a career counselor at UCLA's Placement and Career Planning Center. She was fired for beating up a collegue, and now is a full-time visual and performing artist whose writing can be found in the pages of The LA Weekly, Glue Magazine, Index, Wallpaper and The New Music Express.

Despite herself, Vaginal Davis received a Ph.D in psychology from Columbia University in New York, holds postdoctoral certification and licensing in marriage and family therapy (Lord Help Us) and has actually taught at Loyola Marymount and Pepperdine Universities (It didn't last long).

Vaginal Davis' performance pieces include "Intimacy and Tomorrow" and "Yes, Ms. Davis." She has performed extensively to great critical acclaim both in North America and on the European continent. No one-trick pony, Ms. Davis creates a range of characters and performance scenaria, and has been the subject of academic elucidation in Jose Muñoz' book "Disidentications: Queers of Color and the Performance of Politics."

Vaginal Davis is currently the host of Club Sucker at the Garage, one of Los Angeles' premier venues for seeing both indie rock bands and slumming, inebriated celebrities.
