Who is Juicy Fruit Jim?

How does one begin to describe who they are? So many things need to be answered when this question is asked. I am a 40 year old San Francisco resident, happily partnered to a man I lovingly call my soul-mate, John. We have been together for almost three years, and I continue to be in love with this man, more and more each day. I was born in the year of the horse, 1966, a fire horse to be specific, and a Leo. Although many people think astrology is a bunch of madness, I do believe there are significant factors of this information that play into my daily living. It could merely be that as you learn about yourself, these things form a basis for understanding, or perhaps that these things have an impact on your being.

Interests

Many things peek my interests, and some actually become rooted in what I like to do. My most recent interest has been the creation of and performance with silk flags, and you can find pictures of the flags I have created as well as some performance pictures located in my gallery. Flagging combines performance art, creativity, spirituality, energy flow, and an amazing upper-body workout. Flagging has opened up new opportunities for me as a performer, while also introducing me to some wonderful new friends all around the country. More information can be discovered about the flow art of flagging by checking out the website of my friend Phillip at Flagger Central. My buddy Dan has been my biggest inspiration in the flow arts. He is a creative influence, teaching me how to make my own flags, and encouraging me from the first time he saw me, to get up on stage and just go with it. Another interest for me is Burning Man. My first attendance at this event of survival and radical expression was in 2003, shortly after meeting John. I had toyed with the idea of attending when a co-worker first shared her storied of the event in 1995, however it never came into being. Perhaps she something in me at that time that I had not yet learned about myself. I have attended Burning Man every year since 2003, and have become the project manager for the Playa Fairies who run a camp called Fairyland. I share this leadership responsibility with my good friend, and a great inspiration, Scott and his partner Scott, along with many other good friends.
