The show at M Modern Gallery in Palm Springs

Hi Pussycats:

I am so sorry that I am not going to be at the gallery showing in Palm Springs on the 25th of April. I am sure that it will be wonderful as always, but I am sorry that I can't be there. I just can't afford to make appearances for nothing. You all will be able to see my dear friend Kitten Natividad and Dennis Busch (The Vegetable from FPKK) and from what I understand, several celebrities who live in Palm Springs. I am sure that all who attend will have a wonderful time. I hope that you will get to see some wonderful Paintings and art work there. I hope that there will be a few drawings of me there. My friend Jason said that he was going to make a rice picture of me and I know that it will be gorgeous.

Please enjoy yourselves and let me know how it goes.

Always with Love,
Tura Satana

Premier of Sugar Boxx

Hi All:

I just wanted to let you all know that SUGAR BOXX will be premiering in the San Francisco area.  I think it will be in Alameda on July 9th 2009 or maybe I have it wrong and it will be at the Alameda Theater on July 9th, but I will check it out and be sure to let you know the correct information.  I hope that you will all come to see it and will all enjoy it as well.  Kitten Natividad and I are both in the film so they will have to have a very wide screen.  HA HA HA.  KITTEN AND I  will both be there for the premier as well.  Hope to see you there.

Always

My weekend in Palm Springs

Hi Gang:

I just thought that I would write to let you know how much fun that I had in Palm Springs this last weekend.  I went there to help celebrate the birthdays of three very dear  friends.  Ben celebrated his 40th birthday, and two very dear ladies celebrated their birthdays as well for the month of February.  (Siouxzan and Kitten).  Needless to say, I worked my fingers to the bone making birthday presents.  Between making blankets and stoles and capes, it was wonderful to see the looks on their faces when they got the presents.  I also made a jeweled box for Siouxzan.  I thought that it would be nice if I made my gifts to them because anyone can go out and buy stuff, but these were made with love.  

We stayed a fabulous little hotel there called the Coral Sands, Owned and Operated by a dear lady, Ruby Montana.  Since we had all the rooms, it was one big party all through the hotel.  Being at Ruby's was like being at home and having a great time with friends dropping in and bringing party favors, snacks, plus we barbecued some great food that was cooked by BiBi and Marie.  I think that I gained 25 lbs. just from the food that was prepared so well.  If any of you go to Palm Springs, you should definitely stay at Ruby Montana's Coral Sands Hotel.  If you don't you will always regret it.  

Needless to say, we partied all weekend and between the Chanpagne and a couple of glasses of wine on my part, the weekend was a ball.  I hadn't seen any of my friends for over a year and a half, so it was doubly wonderful.  Heck Sooz and I danced until the wee small hours of the morning.  Finally, when I looked up everyone was gone.  All I have to say is that you young people have no staying power.  

I have to download all the pix that were taken but you will all be happy to know that I have finally decided who the director of my documentary will be.  I got to meet Jeffrey Schwarz this past weekend and we had such a wonderful rapport that I decided to have him as the director of the documentary.  I know that he will do a wonderful job for not only myself, but for the fans as well.  I have seen some of his other work and he is fabulous.

We will be traveling back to Chicago in the next few months and going from there to St Louis, NYC, pretty much all of the various states that I have danced in and then appeared in for the films that I have done.  It should be great viewing for all of my friends and fans.  

Always with love, 

Tura Satana

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, 

Tura Satana

 

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
