About the Author:

Pleasant Gehman is a true renaissance woman: writer, dancer, actor, musician and painter. A Hollywood icon, during the 1970's, she was one of the first punks in Los Angeles, documenting the scene she helped create in her fanzine "Lobotomy". During the 1980's, she toured across North America fronting her three bands, all of whom released multiple recordings: The Screaming Sirens, The Ringling Sisters and Honk If Yer Horny. She was also the booker for the seminal Los Angeles clubs Cathay De Grande and Raji's.Since the early 1990's, under the stage name Princess Farhana, she has appeared internationally as a professional belly dancer and burlesque performer and teacher. She has danced and acted in numerous motion pictures, in music videos and on television. She has appeared in many documentaries on belly dance and burlesque, performing and as an interview subject. In 2009, she was the star of Steve Balderson's film "Underbelly: A Year In The Life Of Princess Farhana" which was released worldwide in theaters as well as on DVD. From the age of sixteen, Pleasant worked as a journalist and cultural commentator with literally thousands of articles published on everything from rock 'n'roll to homeless teenagers. From 1978 onwards, she founded the rock and club scene gossip coulmn "LA Dee Dah" for LA Weekly, and wrote for mainstream rock publications, including Slash, New York Rocker, Spin, Request, and many more. She wrote social commentary, in-depth profiles and about arts and entertainment for national and international publications and websites. Her memoirs, short stories and poetry have been widely anthologized and many works were recorded on her spoken word CD Ruined. She is the author and/or editor of eight books. Her latest book, "Showgirl Confidential: My Life Onstage, Backstage, And On The Road" was released in September, 2013 on Punk Hostage Press.
