Palm Springs party

Hey everyone:

Just thought that I would let you all know that I will be gone this coming weekend.  I will be down in Palm Springs helping to celebrate my friend Ben Cord's birthday.   Kitten Natividad and I will be down there to celebrate this festive occassions and hope that he has a birthday that he will never forget.  I know that his wife will enjoy herself and kitten and I will take her under our wings and tell her how to really satisfy some of his dreams.  Get to see my manager Siouxzan after such a long time.  I have not seen her in over a year.  Hopefully, we will have a great deal of fun and games.  This is the first time, I have gone somewhere without really planing everything down to the last detail.  Love you loads and you  guys don't party to hardy until I get there.

Oh I guess I should let you all know that I am feeling very good lately and have been basically pain free for the past couple of weeks.  I am hoping that this will continue for the next few months.

Always with love, 

Tura Satana

Getting Well

I am sorry to have been so laxed in keeping up my blog, but I have been having some very bad pains in my back recently, because I was doing my therapy for my knees.  I was riding a stationary bike.  After my time on the bike I was getting off when my right knee gave out and I fell to the floor as the bike fell on me as well.  Which caused a bad injury to my back again.  I was in no condition to sit for any period of time and write on m computer, so I just tried to get well.  Today, I had several injections into my spine so that it would control the pain for a couple of months.    Then I will probably have to get some more injections, but it will help me control the pain for a while.  

I am getting ready to start on the filming of Astro Zombies 3 where I play another sister Malvina  although I think the name should be Devilon would be much better.  Remember that was my original dancing name.  My original danicng name was Devilon Satana.

After that, hopefully I will begin shooting on my documentary.  I am trying to get things done so that all of you will have nice memories of me when I am truly gone, which I hope will not be for a very long time.  

I am hoping that all of the old timers of burlesque will be making it to the Exotic World annual get together.  Then I hope that I will be making a trip to England to make appearances to the UK.  If not, then I think that I will have to get some offers in the other countries of Europe because I don't think that I will make back there again.  I hope that i will get the chance to say Hello to Europe one last time.  After that, I think that I will be busy helping develop new projects for Varla Films.  I have several ideas for some very interesting films and I will be looking for new talent who will possibly be able to carry on Varla's legacy.

Hopefully, I know that I will find some of various namesakes or likenesses in either the USA or in Europe.  In the meantime, I will continue to make sure that the strong, beautiful women of this world stay noticed as long as I can.

Remember me Always, 

Tura Satana

TURA'S DAYS

Hi Pussycat Gang:

I just thought that I would hope that all of you had a wonderful and prosperous New Year.  My celebration was very quiet and I only had one glass of champagne to bring in the New Year.  I sent you all a Happy New Years Kiss.  I hope you all got it?  I recently had to have some procedures done on my spine, but I am fine now.  My knees are still giving me a few problems, but I am doing better now.   I hope that I get a few hugs back.  Right now there is going to be the screening of the film SUGAR BOXX on this Sunday.  The screening is for the cast and friends so that it can be previewed by cast and press.  I hope that it is a very big success for Cody Jarrett who is the director and producer of the film.  This means that the film will be released very shortly and I want you all to go and see it.  Let me know if I did well in my part or not.  I can take it, no matter what.  

We will begin shooting my documentary in March or April.  I hope that we have some good weather in Chicago for the shooting.  I will take you through my old neighborhood and show you all some of the spots that were important to me.  Soon we will walk through all of the different memories that I have had throughout my life in Chicago and the various theaters that I worked in as a stripper and some of the men in my life.  At least the ones still alive.  Who knows, I might just meet someone special in my life after all these years?

I am hoping that things will come together for me.  I am probably going to sell my home in Reno and probably move on down to Palm Springs, CA so that I will be closer to my friends.  Or if I can't get the price for it that I need, then I will just stay here and live out the rest of my life here in the lovely High Sierra's.

I don't have that much to talk about right now.  I just want to wish for a wonderful Year to come for everyone and hope that all of my New Year will be as busy for me as last year.  We have a show coming up in Palm Springs in April that will be a tribute to the Pussycats and the rest of the cast members of FPKK that are still living.  Besides myself, there will be Haji, Lori Williams, Dennis Busch (the Vegetable), and also Susan Bernard.  It will be the 44th year for FPKK and there will also be an art show as a tribute to FPKK cast members.  Hope to see you all there.  The show will be around the 14th of April, but that might change so please check out my website for the appearances scheduled for this year.  Hope to see you there.

Always with love,

My New Years Wishes

Hi Pussycat Gang:

I just wanted to let you all know what my New Year's wishes are. I wish that things will work out for me and that I will be able to publish my biography. Secondly, I am really very serious about doing the documentary on my career and the men in my life. Next, I think that I would love to meet someone that could fill the emptiness in my life since my husband passed away. If I don't, I guess that I will be fine anyway. As for my New Years Resolutions, I am going to try to enroll in a gym and get my figure back down to what it was 15 yrs. ago. I am also going to try and make sure that my spine holds up under all the stress. I am going to try and get me a bowflex treadclimber or a treadmill machine that I can keep in my front room so that I can exercise every day. I want to stay healthy and trim down.

I am writing the second volume of my biography which is about the years in burlesque. I have to admit that after the accident with the car, that I have tried to avoid as much pain as possible, but unfortunately, I haven't been able to get the stamina back that I used to have. Now, I have to work on that and make sure that I do get the power back in my lungs. My breasts I will have to learn how to stop them from growing still. Maybe, if I trim down they will also.

I am hoping that you all have a wonderful and safe New Years and that you will all have a fantastic year to follow. I am keeping my fingers crossed so that I will make some additional films for my fans to watch and I will hope that they will be as entertaining as some of my previous ones have been. Maybe I should write one of my own so that the fans will continue to remember me always.

HAPPY NEW YEARS TO ONE AND ALL.

Always remember me,
Tura Satana

Happy Hol;idays

I thought that I would let you all know just what I am doing today. Right now, I am cooking a great ham that I ordered from Missouri. I am slow cooking that ham starting at midnight and I am basting the ham with a honey glaze and butter. I have going to boil some red potatoes, which I will probably mash later with garlic and butter and milk to a nice creamy base. I have some Yams also which I will cook with honey and marshmellows. I have some kernel corn that will be cooked and some green beans which will also accompany dinner. I made some aspargus and cheese and white chili bean soup with sausage in it. I think that we will have a great Christmas dinner and I wish you were all here to enjoy it with us. This is a time to spend with family and friends and I thought that my friends will enjoy knowing the menu and the family get together.

I really want to wish all of the fans and friends and family who are not here a very Merry Christmas and a bountiful and prosperous New Year. I want to thank everyone for making this a year to remember. I love the fact that I was able to go back to St. Louis where I became a headliner in burlesque. The memories that this visit brought back to me were really fantastic and brought a wonderful feeling and a smile to my heart. After that, going to Chicago and visiting my old neighborhood and seeing the people that now live in this area what something else. Everything had changed and yet, there was the feeling of coming home and being at ease with my past. This visit helped to put many ghosts in their proper place. Then when I attended the Tura Tribute, I have to say that I was not only thrilled but very happy and humbled at the same time. I saw all of those paintings at the Tattoo Factory Gallery and I was stunned at the beauty and talent that was displayed there. I wish you had all been there with me, because I really wanted to stay back in Chicago and just bask in the pleasure. I can't thank Beth and Mitch enough.

I and hoping that we will have just as much fun when we have a similar show in Palm Springs in April of 2009, but this one is a tribute to the Pussycats. I will be there with Haji and Lori, Dennis Busch and Susan Bernard. It will probably be the last time that you will be able to see the livng cast of FPKK. WE 5 are all that is left of the cast of FPKK and hopefully we will be able to make it a reunion to remember.

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A JOYOUS NEW YEAR TO ALL. IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN CHRISTMAS, MAY YOU ENJOY THE BOUNTY OF THE HOLDIAY SEASON FOR ONE AND ALL.

Always with Love, remember me,
Tura Satana

What's new with Tura #2

Hi Gang:

I just wanted to let you know what is going on so far.  Today, I got my press releases for when Sugar Boxx will be released, which will be around February or early March.  I think you will all get a kick out of the film.  We sure get down and dirty there.  I can hardly wait for you all to see it.

Today I did the photo shoot with Simone for the tabletop book she will be doing about all of the ladies of Russ Meyer films.  I know that she has done a bang up job so far and I expect nothing less than great from her.  I have to say that about all of the ladies that I have come across these days!   They are a talent to behold.  Not knocking the guys of this world, but the women have finally gotten out and are showing the world that the talent that was hidden for so long is finally coming out and shining brightly.  YOU GO, GIRLS!!!  I am so proud of all of you ladies.  It is time that this world realizes just how much talent is out there for the world to see.

You do a good job too, guys, but the ladies are finally strutting their stuff.  I am hoping that you will love the photos that Simone took today.  You should also check out the art gallery at THE TATTOO FACTORY.COM.  I am still so stunned by the paintings and the carvings and various art objects that were created by the artists for the showing in Chicago.  Check it out.  

I also wanted to tell you all that if you still want to order photos, t-shirts, lunchboxes or FPKK dvd's for Xmas, that you can order them through my email address while my store is being remodeled.  The black and white photos are $25.00, the black and white photos with all three signatures of the pussycats is $50.00,   the color photos are $35.00,  the lunchboxes (FPKK) are $45.00,  the dvd's are $35.00 for each one except for FPKK DVD.  The FPKK dvd's are $60.00 and will include a signed autographed photo, plus the DVD itself will be autographed as well.   The charges are also plus priority shipping of $6.00 and delivery confirmation for national delivery.  For international delivery of priority shipments the charges are $18.00 for shipping and handling.

Hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year with loads of prosperity for the coming years.

Always with love, 

Tura Satana
