This interview with Mark Mori was originally published in "The Best of Frankie Tease Magazine Vol. 1" 2012 ebook. Enjoy. Check for the new film in your city soon. It’s June 2012 (Las Vegas) and I am calling New York to speak with Academy Award Nominated Director Mark Mori about his new film Bettie Page Reveals All (2012) . He aims to give me the scoop on the amazing new documentary about Bettie Page (one of America’s most treasured celebrities), and how she came to narrate her own life’s story for his film. He is a concise well–spoken man who has obviously been changed by getting to know Bettie Page over the last few years of her life on this earth (R.I.P. Bettie 1923-2008). See what fascinating Director Mark Mori (Building Bombs) tells about the new Bettie Page Reveals All film in this interview below. FT: How or why did you start this film project in the first place? MM: Well, in 1996 I was having lunch in Los Angeles with my entertainment attorney, and he

Amy C. Hanley has been busy since the airing of "Sin City Rules" Reality TV Show on TLC. She's gotten a divorce and been on a ton more tv appearances and red carpets in Sin City and beyond. Look out though, she's also starting to roll out her Mob Doll Haute clothing line ( which includes a line specifically to help raise money for abused children in Nevada ). This Logo / Slogan Wear is for men, women, children, and includes accessories. But the part that got me is the stuff  has a sense of humor, like Hanley does.  Offering tributes to all genre's of famous mob figures, Hanley shouts out Chinese, Cuban, Caribbean, Irish, Italian, Japanese, Jewish, Mexican in "This Thing of Ours" casual logo wear line. No matter what your ethnic background is, she's got you mobbed up. " This isn't for the fugazis"  Hanley told me as she explained the line and showed me the live store at  https://mobdoll.spreadshirt.com/  (more being ad

Chloe Crawford - Murray Sawchuck - Lefty  by Frankie Tease Nov.2012, Las Vegas Show Review Murray Sawchuck is one of those people you relish meeting if not for his magic, then for his sheer fame. Tons of people remember him as he spoke these words on America's Got Talent in 2010 "America, this is the trick you'll be talking about tomorrow" and vanished a life-size real train in honor of his Canadian railroad-worker father. A slight-of-hand performer and title holder of World Champion Magician, Murray has been touring the planet for well over 20 years. Korea and Japan are just two of those places he's a favorite and his almost daily show is now at the Laugh Factory at Tropicana in Vegas. Partners include his wife Chloe Crawford, and long-time magic partner "Lefty". Other TV appearances you may know Murray from include: Celebracadabra, Celebrity Blind Date, Entertainment Tonight, Fast Track to Fame, The Jadagrace Show, Jerry Lewis Tel

Tempest Sotrm "Burlesque Queen" On Kickstarter thru Oct. 9 A new film documentary by Director Nimisha Nukerji is due to be released in 2014 about 84 year old burlesque star and Life-long Stripper Tempest Storm . During 2013, the film project is seeking the help of devoted burlesque fans of the Legendary Stage Performer and Model Tempest Storm on Kickstarter (through Oct. 9,2012). Friend to Bettie Page and Marilyn Monroe, mistress to both Elvis and JFK, betrayed at the height of her career by MGM for falling in love with a black man, it's safe to say we don't have stars like Tempest in this day and age. Recognized by Oprah Winfrey for her documentary "65_RedRoses" Director Nimisha Nukerji has a knack for telling stories and has brought those skills to one of America's favorite characters and sex symbols. Tempest Storm shares the camera with Dita Von Teese (Strip Strip Hooray), Melody Sweets (Absinthe), and Lou Lou D'Vil (2013 Queen

Reverend Horton Heat by Frankie Tease As a long time fan of the Heat, when I got the confirmation for the interview with the man live at Vegas's Vinyl at Hard Rock, December 2012, I almost had a private Psychobilly Freakout. Some of my friends and readers are very long-term and hardcore music devotees of Reverend Horton Heat, and in my Wildest Dreams I never thought I'd be interviewing someone who's provided me with so much entertainment over the years. I used my Martini Time to gather my best questions to make sure I could do the interview without Goin' Manic. Jim Heath has been a Texas Rockabilly Rebel for a long time, and his trio has been a mainstay on the American Stage since the late 80's. I had a lot of questions already in the queue. You Gotta Hand it To Me, this was one of those amazing opportunities. Out of Dallas, Texas, Jim Heath (53) can still tear up the stage next to a modern psychobilly act or some of the top punk rock and roll groups of our
