Cutthroat & Shinafelt "At The Movies"

Cutthroat & Shinafelt "At The Movies"

In the tradition of "Siskel & Ebert" "Ebert & Roeper" comes "Cutthroat & Shinafelt At The Movies"...

Yes, the resident "Burlesque Biotch" and Bonaparte band member on "Entertain Me" Clea Cutthroat has agreed to discuss five upcoming summer movies with yours truly. It's time for "Cutthroat & Shinafelt At The Movies" In this case the balcony never closes and it's always showtime at the edge of the stage...

1) Maleficent

CC: This is a win-win in my book. A fierce evil bitch, with a bad ass head piece & perfect complexion played by Angelina Jolie. Even if the script sucks, you're sure to score some fabulous makeup tips for your next goth party, fetish event, or Halloween bash. (Who am I kidding !?! I would rock that head gear strolling the supermarket with stilettos at 3 in the afternoon, LOL) All Hail Maleficent!

MS: Maleficent is the best Disney bitch ever! She kicks the Evil Queens ass from Snow White, after all she can turn into a dragon and the Evil Queen can only turn into some old hag who hands out poison apples.

2) 22 Jump Street

CC: You lost me at 22. I may live in Berlin now, and have no idea what this is...but I don't even wanna google it. Is "22" the clever idea of a sequel to that hot-mess remake of 21 Jump Street? I'd rather spend the night exfoliating. 

MS: Me? I'd rather have my ball hairs burnt off than be subjected to this.

3) Transformers: Age Of Extinction

CC: Must I really? The title says it all: "Age of Extinction". Transformers, please go away. 

MS: I heard Michael Bay added nostrils to the Transformers this time so they can snort cocaine.

4) Jupiter Ascending

CC: I think that we should take the money that we saved from not seeing 22 blah blah, Transformers, and this movie and go to Disneyland!!! We can kidnap hot sexy Mila, all take pics with Maleficent together & get high before going into the Haunted House. Score!

Ok...Disney is still a bit more expensive than the entrance for 3 movies put together...but, we could at least go to the bar.  First round of margaritas on me! (Mila's got the second round for sure ;)

MS: Yeah! Margaritas and Mila, good times!

5) Sex Tape

CC: Whereas "22 Jump Street" lost me at it's title, this movie has already made a giant fan out of me. Two of my favorite things: "sex" and "tape".

Hmmmm, I would say more, but now I can only think about sex.

Well, regardless if I go on a date by myself, or with someone else, this film should surely lend itself to a "happy ending".

Two thumbs....waaaay up. Pun completely intended ;)

MS: My boyfriend and I made one of those, and we watch it when we...Hey, why watch strangers when you can let your inner narcissist out and get off on yourselves?

XOXO,

Clea Cutthroat

Clea Cutthroat Says "Put A Diaper On It" !

Mirror, Mirror On The Wall....

Burlesque Biotch and "Entertain Me" favorite, Clea Cutthroat is everywhere, performing with the Rock/Art Band Bonaparte, Writing her online column "Cocktails With Clea" for appropriately enough Burlesque Bitch Magazine to tantalizing people on stage in her own shows, Clea is: Up In Your Grill!

There is something that perhaps you did not know about Ms. Cutthroat she is also a charitable diva. 

Recently she took place in a YouTube campaign to supply diapers to The Sage Hospital in Senegal...let's get an update about all that and more, time to "Put A Diaper On It" Clea!

MS: How did you get involved with the bringing diapers to the Sage Hospital in Senegal?

CC: The SAGE taxi actually just picked me up off the street late one night. I had a fight with a magician, stole his dove....and was trudging along a dark road with my suitcase, body guard and bird cage, when the taxi pulled up. They asked me if I wanted a ride, and then they asked me if I would do something good for there hospital in Senegal. It was a very easy, YES!

It's such a great cause, and if literally 20 minutes of my day can help bring something positive to the children and families there, it is truly an honor. I am so flattered that they asked me.

MS: How did the task go?

CC: GREAT! I don't have the final count yet of the number of diapers that will be donated, but needless to say we got A LOT!

MS: I'm jealous, I want a disco alarm clock! Where did you ever find such a groovy item?

CC: Believe it or not, I actually gifted it to someone, and they gave it back to me. (crazy, I know). One man's trash....is another diva's disco ball extrvaganza!!!!

Clea's Charity Video

MS:Did you stuff your bra with pampers in high school too?

CC: I was actually more a roll-your-skirt-up-to-your-crotch kinda gal Catholic all girls school...I was nothing but class lol!

MS: Since you always ask yourself "What would Madonna do"? If she were aware of your Diapers for Senegal campaign do you think she would buy them for Sage Hospital or her boyfriend first?

CC: Michael...don't make fun of Madge! Her boyfriends are perfect baby angels that have six-packs and brooding eyebrows instead of angel wings. Aaaaaaaaand, I think that Queen M would be the first one showing up with trucks full of diapers...but they would probably have "Truth or Dare" written across the back!

MS: Enough of the "Diaper Talk" what else have you been up to chica?

CC: I have just gotten back from festival season with Bonaparte...we had a crazy ass show at the Kazantip Republic in the Ukraine. I don't even know how to describe that one- Bladerunner meets Showgirls meets Wild Things?! It was amazing!

I'm currently getting ready to launch Black Boulevard! My lingerie label I do together with Fraulein Kink. It will be up and online in about a month. It's been my baby for over a year, so I wasn't launching a damn thing until it is completely perfect ....and it just about is! I am REALLY excited!

I also will be performing at the 1st International Berlin Burlesque Festival in September, and also in Rome for the Caput Mundi International Burlesque Award in November. I caaaan't wait! Gladiators here I come!

Perhaps Platinum....

MS: I'm bummed you are not making the trek from Berlin to Los Angeles next month.

CC: ME TOO!!! Unfortunately, it was just a matter of timing...too many tours going all in opposite directions from Los Angeles. But, I gotta make it back there so soon! I'm California dreaming already! Pass me the suntan lotion and a fish taco immediately!

MS: Yeah, I was looking forward to having margaritas and spitting blood on people with you.

CC: Awww, that would be amazing!!!!! Well, I got a pint of fake artery blood with your name on it! I also have some neon, glow in the dark, margarita salt..so we can get real fancy!

MS: Awesome! Tell me what your ultimate kitsch dream item to own would be and if it needs batteries.

CC: I'm sorry, but the only thing that I got from that question was "batteries" and all I can think of is a vibrator.

Vibrator. Vibraaator...Viiiiiiiiibrator!

OH! WAIT! I got something! A GIANT light up deco-aquarium! I LOVE THOSE THINGS!!!

MS:Any last words before we part?

CC: Use a condom!

The Horror: Clea Cutthroat

Bloody Clea: Say It 3 Times and See What
Happens

For Berlin performance artist and "Entertain Me" favorite, Clea Cutthroat everyday is some version of Halloween...is it any surprise it is her favorite Holiday?

Clea is currently on tour with the band Bonaparte, I decided to get my inner "Ghost Face" on and try to make her "Scream"...I don't think I did a very effective job of it, hey this was my first try at terrorizing someone cut me some slack!

Paging Ms. Cutthroat, you have a call....

MS: Hello, who is this?

CC: Michael, put down the margarita, it’s me…Clea! Naturally.

MS: Clea Cutthroat the performance artist who lives in Berlin?

CC: The one & only!

MS: What are you doing right now?

CC: I’m drinking margarita’s out of my Gatorade squeeze bottle as I sew hot pink sequins on spandex…one by one…a task that’s tedious enough to drive anyone insane (hence the margarita).

MS:Tell me your favorite scary movie.

CC: "The Shining"! Scared the shit out of my when I was 9…and still gives me the creeps every time blood gushes down the hallway after me, or I run into strange twin children as I’m grocery shopping.

MS: Mine is the original “Halloween”.

CC: Can’t go wrong with some Jamie Lee Curtis! Wasn’t there one with Busta Rhymes?

MS: Oh, that's a good one.

CC: I knew you would like the Busta version as well 

MS: What are you going to be this Halloween?

Covered In Blood Again? With Bonaparte

CC: I’m actually performing in Graz, Austria this Halloween as its right in the middle of my tour with Bonaparte. So, in that case, I’ll be dead, a voodoo queen, a showgirl, a dominatrix, an aerobics instructor….well, you could say that everyday is a bit like Halloween 

BUT , if I get a chance to go to a proper Halloween party after the show…I’m going as the Queen herself…Elvira!

…and you, Michael? What’s up your sleeve this year? 

MS: Me? I'm not telling you anything.

CC: Hmph. I’ll get it out of you after your third margarita 

MS: Everyday is pretty much like Halloween for you, isn't it?

CC: Yes. I am damn lucky! BUT the only down side would be that living in Europe you don’t get the same excitement for Halloween. It’s slowly catching on…but, nothing as compared to NYC. One year I’ll have to make it back to The States for some proper celebrations.

MS: Do you take your make-up off at night or sleep in it?

CC: I could sleep in it, but then I would need a medicine cabinet full of Clearasil, and I could go as a lump of acne for Halloween! Lol! No, no…I take it all off! 

MS: Answer this next question or Bonaparte, every single one of them dies.

CC: Maybe it’s the margarita in my squeeze bottle, but this doesn’t make any sense…NEXT QUESTION!

MS: How much wood could a woodchuck, chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

CC: I plead the 5th.

MS: My patience is being tried Ms. Cutthroat.

CC: How do you think I feel after the woodchuck question?

MS: Oh, all right, how about this one? If you really did Cutthroat's how many throat's would you cut?

CC: Only as many as it would take till I could make a new ball gown 

MS: Wrong answer, Happy Halloween Clea!

Checking In With: Clea Cutthroat

Clea Giving a Booty Shine During a Bonaparte Show Berlin  based performance artist, Clea Cutthroat is an "Entertain Me" favorite as you may recall  when she responded to this writer's "10 Random Thoughts". Well Clea has been moving faster than a speeding bullet since last we spoke, it's time to "Check In" with her..... So, Darlin’ are your knickers off? Nope! They are right where they should be...I think :) See Darlin’ you are a whore, isn’t “Showgirls” one of your favorite movies? Yes, and I would definitely be Cristal delivering that line! No whores here honey, just bitches. I've even watched that movie in German and it still translates. The language of glass marble sabotage is international amongst us dancing divas. We met this year at The Satellite, in Silverlake, CA for the first time, after I’m not sure, how many years at sea, I love it! Can you believe it? Finally, we crossed the oceans and rivers of planet Earth and cyberspace to physically meet in person! Was so amazing to finally meet you (officially) but, I gotta admit I feel like we've been friends brushing each other's hair and giving each other manicures for years now! Mr. Shinafelt & Ms. Cutthroat You were actually a native from my actual hood, expand. I guess that makes us "homies" then, huh :) Yes, I am an authentic, born, mall-raised, frozen yogurt feed valley girl from Reseda, San Fernando Valley. I guess those early years of lining my lips with dark brown eyeliner, then filling them in with nude shimmering lip gloss was really just a foreshadowing of my drag queen-esque future to come. “Bonaparte” is a great performance art band. Thank you! It really is. I love being a part of Bonaparte. It is really and truly such a unique opportunity to be able to perform with such amazing musicians and fellow performance artists that inspire me to no end. Within Bonaparte, we are all equal pieces to the puzzle, and I can honestly say I love every piece. It's the most amazing opportunity to take my classical dance training and mix it with my cabaret/burlesque/side show life. I'm constantly learning and expanding from everyone involved, and that is what keeps you going as an artist. I am as happy as a clam. ("clam" hmm...no vagina pun intended.) How did “Ms. Cutthroat” become involved? I met Bonaparte in Paris. Paris, Texas that is. My parents just moved there...I was visiting so we all got tickets to go see the rodeo. While we were there, I see this little guy, looking like Napoleon in the middle of it all. Seriously. I was so curious about him, and I finally met him when we both went to the bar to order some beers and nachos. I know, it sounds bizarre, but then we talked and found out I was planning on moving to Berlin...he has just moved...and well, POOF! And 4, or 5 (cant remember now) years later we're touring the states and I finally got to meet you! See, horseshoes do bring good luck. ...We should go to a rodeo together, don't ya think? What’s your favorite number you do with them, or do you not play favorites? Well, I play a bunch of different "persona's". I have Amie, Alice, Juanita, Sister Mary...to name a few...and if I start playing favorites then it's gonna turn into a bitch fest, and I cant deal with all of these personalities at the moment. Plus, Sister Mary is a drunk, and she is always slapping Amie around. If you were a Punk Song, what punk song would you be? Without a doubt. "Gimmie Gimmie Gimmie", Black Flag. Henry Rollins. Doesn't get much better. That album, Damaged, was so influential to me when I was younger. It was like a treasure chest of emotions that I didn't know that I could tap into. It changed everything for me. One of the best 5 shows I have ever seen, was going to see Black Flag with Henry Rollins in NYC. I have never seen someone so possessed, obsessed and dominant on stage as Henry. Gimmie Gimmie Gimmie was always one of my favorites, but when I saw that live...it blew my mind. I knew that it was that energy, fire, rage and passion that I wanted to manifest in Clea. Sitting here I'm a loaded gun Waiting to go off I've got nothing to do But shoot my mouth off Clea & Bonaparte Obama recently supported Gay Marriage, your thoughts? "YES!" "THANK GOD!" "FINALLY!" ...and then I got annoyed because it is so ignorant, small minded, and pathetic that there is a large group of self-righteous people that believe they hold the moral and religious code of the universe, and can decided who can, and can not get married. Who gives a flying fuck?!!? I don't care if two guys get married, or if Billy in Georgia needs to dress in a large furry animal costume to get off at night. I wouldn't care if Sarah Palin loved a man or if she hosted lesbian orgies dressed as a latex zebra in her spare time. It's all bullshit and i am sorry that we are in a world where REAL problems get pushed aside to discuss if a government can decide if I am allowed to choose who I fall in love with. Obama needs to gives this country a verbal slap for being so stupid. Yes, stupid. We will tune into watch Kim Kardashian's 72 minute wedding, and watch every time Elizabeth Taylor walked down the aisle...and what is the problem with two people who are in love, but (gasp!) of the same gender getting married? Why do we care who I, he, she decides to spend their life with? To me, it sounds like a lot of bored people with closeted desires/fears and have no better way to release them. Everyone needs to get over themselves, and start worrying about our country's education system, our environment that is boiling, the state of the economy, and stop worrying about who any of us write love letters too. I'm more concerned about giving young girls a strong female role model. I don't care if you want to be President of the United States, CEO of whatever, a secretary, a Playboy Playmate, a housewife, nor do I care who/who http://www.facebook.com/cleacutthroat m you share your bed with at night. What I do care about is that you do it with dignity, pride, following your own moral code, and leaving a strong example to the next generation. Grrrrrrr...now I need a maragarita. You are one of the coolest women I have ever met. lol! I don't feel very cool at the moment after writing that tirade above! Ok, deep breath, and big sip of the margarita (delicious!) Thank you very much! But, if I think about it too much I will start blushing as I type this:) I appreciate that you think I'm cool..cuz I think you're cool too! And having people I respect, respect me back is pretty much all I can ask for in the end...and a Slurpee machine. I will really know that I've made it when I have a Slurpee machine in my flat. It ridiculous, but it's my thing. Too bad we could not meet in New Jersey for Cinco Di Mayo. Maybe next year? I mean, how amazing would that be to celebrate with a few margaritas in Atlantic City? Maybe only going to Reno could top that! What is happening with you in the future? This year is going to be quite busy touring with Bonaparte. The third album will be coming out later this year...so we are starting soon with summer festival season, and then a club tour in the fall. Otherwise, I am burlesque-ing it up all over Europe, and my BIG goal for this year is to finish my 1 woman show. My fantasy is to have it up in NYC Jan/Feb 2013...I know that date may need to be adjusted due to touring, but it is my passion. I love burlesque, it has been, and continues to be very good to me, but I really want to push myself out of the "burlesque" box and into a box that is all my own. I've been wanting to do this for years, but my last tour in NYC gave me a big kick in the ass, so engines are roaring and I'm busy busy getting it ready to go! Love you Woman, you keep it real. I love you!!!! ...and thank YOU for giving me such a great platform to keep it real... As Cristal would say, "It's amazing what paint and a surgeon can do"...I always felt that way about wigs and a loud mouth. Get Cutthroat: http://www.facebook.com/cleacutthroat
