Wouldn't you know it, a world of funny names, including this one I've had bouncing around my head for years, and never knowing quite how I wanted to use it.
Finally, I discover that Tawdry Heartburn is a male manicurist on a global mission to unburden the world of its secrets. Naturally enough, I googled and searched months ago and that turned up nothing. I get my website and my show and my international mission to create world peace and bang! On the day of my launch an article from the end of September that mentions in passing a silent New York drag queen with the same name!!!!!
Well, just to put the record straight. I am no drag queen. I am a free public resource. I am a conduit to world peace. I am a performance-art / instilation / hybrid / multi-platform Manic Curist of Secrets.
I will do your nails for free...
All you have to do is give me a secret, a real secret. No names or even better, assumed names...
But a real secret just the same. If you come to a show you can write it on a piece of paper that gets folded up and put in the secret jar when I do your nails. Or soon you will be able to log onto the website and put your secret there.
Trust me I've been doing this gig for years and I know how much better people feel when they have finally told someone, that thing or things they have kept buried for years...
So would you do it? If I was performing in your town, on your street. Would you come up and say "Hi Tawdry, can I put a secret in your secret jar and would you do my nails please? Oh and, for today, you can call me Madonna."
So what's in a name huh? I don't even want to know your real one.
Truth is I am Tawdry Heartburn too and who really cares anyway.
I could also be TOM hanks, DICK cheney or HARRY winston, too/2/II
But if I was... Id assume a name just the same.

Hey Tawds!
Our nails are an awful mess and our lives are filled with unspoken truths and shattered vases.
We think your idea could certainly increase digital ease and cool the planet with soothing reveleations.
PS we have a friend who thinks he/she may have a secret but doesn't want their nails done...do you do tattoos?
Hey LNS
No I don't do tattoos, though I do have one in a secret location....
I'm consulting with the performance art sector in an ongoing way currently, and looking at a multiplicity or relevancies that could extenuate the multi-platform nature of AWOS user interfacings... OH God, thank you for giving me the good sense to realise that I didn't want to stay working in government! 6 months was more than enough. Still, it's vital to know in life what you don't want to do, don't you think LNS?
Sadly, at this time, it's nails only 'in performance' my way of the high way lol, well the high high way if you get too close to the nail polish solvents but that is of course, a side issue.
