The above video was taken by myself in the middle of Times Square last night. After going to the Algonquin Hotel for some good open mic work (I sang “And I Will Follow,” this time dedicating it to husband Pete since he followed me and my dream to New York with uncertain sacrifice on his part), we walked through 42nd […]

Algonquin Hotel on […]
These guys are not just “clowns” in the traditional sense. Far from it – no pancake makeup is utilized. Merely some old-fashioned clothing and a lot of imagination. I caught them a few times in Los Angeles (they are associated with the Sacred Fools theater company) and they are true thinker’s sketch artists – mostly wordless, they are often naughty, […]
Just came up with a new tag line for myself, to be added to the bottom of my trademark soda, dolls & video games: “Sierra Rein – providing the public with quality 11 O’Clock Numbers since 1988.”1988 being the year I sang “Brother Can You Spare a Dime?” for a school play and decided I wanted to bring my love […]
