Dear Portland,
You never fail to make me smile, and I can't thank you enough for such a lovely evening! "Lucky's DeLuxe Giggle-n-Grind" was well-received and will return to Portland on Wednesday, August 3rd!
I'll write more later, my pillow is a seductive temptress who will not be ignored.
Xoxo,
Lucky

Tomorrow, My Darlings...
My Dearest Portland,
The thought of being in you sends shivers through my body. The sight of you makes my knees weak. To touch you sends my mind reeling. I long to hold you in my strong, brawny arms, loving you the only way I know how...toplessly. Very toplessly.
Portland! I must have you! Everything about you turns me on! Your scruffy hipsters who make-out with me with reckless abandon simply because I ask so nicely, your moist weather that volumizes my hair so awesomely, your meatloaf! It charms me, it tickles my junk. And I like having my junk tickled, don't ever doubt that.
Sweet Portland, you dance through my dreams with your sugar-dipped public transportation. Your bike lanes all lead straight to my heart.
I'm not calling you a pussy, though, Portland. I know how tough you can be. I like that too. When you pull me close to you and whisper into my ear that I'm a filthy whore for throwing my cigarette butt into the street instead of dipping it into a puddle and using the trashcan, it gets me so hot that my eyes lose focus. I like it when you pull my hair and make me beg for sustainable energy resources. I want you to slap me in the face just for looking you in the eyes, is what I'm saying. And believe me, Portland, I know you could do it.
Portland, I need you tomorrow night. We rendezvous at 8pm. Meet me at Harvey's Comedy Club (www.harveyscomedyclub.com), so that we can consumate this love, so that we may join together our giggles, our grinds...Portland, I want to feel your laughter dripping down my thighs.

I'd like to extend a BIG, GIANT, ENORMOUS Thank You to Portland's "Just Out" Magazine for their wonderful support! Although I do love everyone, the LGBT communities have always been closest to my heart From the time I was a young girl, spending my weekends at the Rocky Horror Picture Show, and my weeknights sneaking into the Edge (long-time closed KC gay bar), my loving gays have provided me with more warmth than Cinnamon lube, and more support than my favorite Marlies Dekkers underwire. I'll be at CC Slaughter's on Sunday night to watch the drag show. If you see me, come say hello! We'll have a hug and a red Jello shot.
Now, like I said, I do love everyone. My show: "Lucky's DeLuxe Giggle-n-Grind" is designed to tickle the ribs of all audiences, regardless of sexual preferences. We do not discriminate with our entertainment. No, no! It does not matter whether you fancy ladies, gents, both or neither, I will perch my sparkly lil' show on your lap and tell you what I want for Christmas. I will bring you the Greatest Hits In Tits & Bits (that are available that night and within a start-up show budget, of course...and ones that are non-union, and not opposed to drunk working conditions...), because those, my friends, are the great uniters. Tits? Yes indeed. Bits? Make mine a double.
See you next Tuesday!

New Additions!
Good Morning, Lovely Giggle-n-Grinders!
What a busy week! In between performing, drinking lethal amounts of coffee and not getting laid, I've been making preparations for my trip back to PDX.
I am very pleased to announce 2 new additions to my Portland Giggle-n-Grind lineup: comedian Whitney Streed, and musician Autry!
I've known Whitney for a while, she is truly a treat. With fantastic stage presence, as well as a good grip on the funny, she makes me smile every time I see her. I'm very, very happy to have her on the show. I love Whitney!
Check her out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFmN_vjFoxs.
The next new addition is a musician named Autry. A Portland friend referred me to her, I checked out her YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/autrysmusic) and fell in love! She is innovative and fun, and a perfect addition to my show.
Her originals are great, check out this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhhqq5E-mTE.
Now, check out this cover:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMz-Hyt0IXQ. Hell yes.
So the cast of Lucky's DeLuxe Giggle-n-Grind is: comedians Kristine Levine, Whitney Streed, and Richie Stratton; bump-n-grinders Frankie Tease, Burk Biggler, and Lucy O'Rebel; the pop-n-lock comedy of breakdancing comic Den-Den Willy-D; the harmonious hits of musician Autry; and the Marvelous Magic of Mr. & Mrs. Wonderful. All pulled together in a pretty little package by your loving host Lucky DeLuxe (aka Susanna Lee).
I'd love a nice, big audience for this show. My performers and I are working hard to thrill you to the very core of your bones, and I want everyone's hard work to be rewarded. Some of Portland's media has been a little less than supportive, less than helpful in getting the word out. So do me a favor and tell a friend. Send a link to www.gigglengrind.com to your loved ones. Come to the show. You can pre-purchase tickets at Harvey's Comedy Club; contact them at 503-241-0338, or www.harveyscomedyclub.com.
See you soon!
xoxo,
Lucky
P.S. Here's a little Wednesday bonus for you: one of my videos, actually shot at Harvey's:http://s137.photobucket.com/albums/q222/susannylee/?action=view¤t=MOV01c_Edit_Edit.mp4

Giggle-n-Grind With Me, Won't You?
Omg, PDX, Omg.
I will be back in your fair city in 8 days from now, and time can't move fast enough! I'd love to see you all come to my show, "Lucky's DeLuxe Giggle-n-Grind" at Harvey's Comedy Club on March 22nd (8pm)!
I thought that today, I'd list a few things I've done while in Portland:
1. Tongue-kissed the pizza guy at Dante's. This was several years ago, so if he's your boyfriend, no worries.
2. Repeatedly swatted away an overly-friendly Brazilian penis in a hot tub at a popular PDX swinger's club. We were there for the hot tub, not the enthusiastic Brazilian penis.
3. Powell's. I've done Powell's.
4. Younger guys.
5. Fantastic shows for fantastic audiences. Let's make it happen again!
See you next-next Tuesday!
xoxo,
Lucky

Giggle-n-Grind-Tacular!
Hi Sugarplums!
I'm getting SO excited for the Portland show! Today, I thought I'd tell you a little about my history with Portland and why its so dear to me, and include some links to videos/websites for a couple of the performers that you'll see at "Lucky's DeLuxe Giggle-n-Grind" on March 22nd at Harvey's Comedy Club.
Note: This is a really abbreviated version of the whole story. I'm skipping a lot of details. If you want the whole long, long story, you can coax it out of me with cocktails some night...
In 2003, I was living in hell. I was unhappily married, we had moved from Kansas City to Cave Junction, OR. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Cave Junction, it is a very small town, similar to Mayberry, but with a shitload of meth and Hep C. It was too remote and cut-off for me to effectively continue the comedy career that I'd enjoyed since '96, which was the most important thing in my life, and the bulk of how I identified myself. The only form of entertainment in town was watching the locals sing karaoke twice a week at the Red Garter Saloon. There was no full-time police force, the library was open 3 days a week. Yes, Public Enemy, 911 was a joke in my town. I passed the time by trying to rid the house we were living in of fleas, formulating escape plans, fantasizing about my husband's taller cousin, and smoking. I was working 2 jobs since my husband was working none (couldn't pass the drug test to get hired at the local grocery store): clerk at the town's first porn store, and Tree Fairy at a treehouse resort just outside of town. Tree Fairy was not as cool as the title indicates. Tree Fairy meant 'maid'. Tree Fairies did not wear wings, they freshened bedding and emptied chamberpots. The owner would regularly take out her tie-dye displacement aggression by screaming at us in the basement of the main house. My own house had its charms, like a toilet that didn't function, rendering it useless for things that humans need to do on a regular basis (translation: I had to walk a couple blocks to the park to 'read a book'. If the urge struck in the middle of the night, I was just shit-out-of-luck, so to speak.), no lock on the front door, and a half-crazy dog living in the backyard that the previous tenants had left for us. Life was unpleasant, to be sure. I was pretty sure I would die in that fucking town, probably and hopefully by my own device.
After one particularly awesome evening of drinking cheap vodka and tempering my husband's most recent psychotic break, I hit my limit. I was broken into pieces of my former person-with-a-promising-future, and needed to at least make one more effort to save myself from this beartrap of a fate. So I called my friend Kristine. She was the only person I knew in the Pacific NW. She invited me to come up and stay in PDX for a few days, to check it out. The feeling of driving into PDX for the first time is one I can't easily explain. Imagine the bus ride home from the worst summer camp experience of your life, pulling into the parking lot and seeing your parent waiting to drive you home, away from the nightmare. I think I cried upon pulling into Kristine's driveway. I knew before getting out of the car that I was moving to PDX. Cut to one month later, I had moved to PDX. Kristine took me out, showed me the town. Introduced me to the local comics and comedy scene. They treated me well, I felt immediately accepted and safer than I'd felt since leaving KC. To this day, I have never had a comedy or burlesque experience in Portland that has left a bad taste in my mouth.
I believe that moving to Portland saved my life, and I will always love it for at least that reason. This is also why it is important to me to offer my audiences the best performances I can give. Portlandians, Portlandites, PDX-ers gave me life again, the least I can do is give them a show to remember. So, my dearest PDX, on March 22nd, come out to "Lucky's DeLuxe Giggle-n-Grind" at Harvey's Comedy Club. I owe you a show. And a hug.
