Singer, songwriter and pianist Adey “Adey Belle” Garner

By TCTV Founder Rosalyn Fay

It’s not often you meet a native Montanan in California—so when my family and I met Adey Garner at Cafe Gratitude in Berkeley—I felt an instant kinship with her. “Get out!” she exclaimed as she slapped the table and twirled around. “I’m from Kalispell!” Our mutual excitement about this otherwise silly similarity put us immediately at ease. As she continued to speak openly and emphatically about her new life in the Bay Area and her musical ambitions, I became aware that I was in the midst of someone very special.

Interpretive Belly Dancer Frederique “The Lady Fred” Johnston

By TCTV Founder Rosalyn Fay

Filming my “belly dance” teacher, Frederique “The Lady Fred” Johnston was a long standing desire of mine having taken her classes for nearly 4 years. Frederique is a very interesting woman! One rarely gets the chance to see so many different aspects of someone’s personality at a time. One minute Frederique is very articulately describing a dance move, and the next she is breaking into hysterical laughter at an unintended pun she made or funny thought she had (upon which she’ll often pause class to tell a story).   Read more…

Poi Spinner and Fire Dancing Artist Isa “GlitterGirl” Isaacs

By TCTV Founder Rosalyn Fay

Meeting Isa “GlitterGirl” Isaacs came out of a rather serendipitous event. I was sitting at a cafe waiting to go into a yoga class nearby when a guy approached me and asked if he could join me. Assuming I was being hit on and slightly annoyed (yet also a little intrigued by his courageous move), I hesitantly agreed. After a while of surprisingly interesting conversation, I explained how I was looking for inspiring women to feature on my website. He immediately said “I know someone who would be perfect for you.” He was right. I’ve been in awe of Isa Isaacs since first looking over her website. By the time I finally got an interview with her, I was giddy. Let’s just say, it was so good, I decided to create a two-part series. Read more…

Artist Priya Assal Gheysari

By TCTV Founder Rosalyn Fay

I first met Priya Assal at a New Year’s Eve party in San Francisco, 2007. At the time, I noticed all this cool art on the wall but didn’t realize until months later when I was there (for another party), that she was the artist. It was that night that I really took a closer look at the paintings and started to notice some themes I hadn’t noticed before. Most of the paintings (around 20) hanging throughout the house were of powerful female characters. Each one was very unique and had a distinct “personality” but nearly all had one thing in common, one eye open and one eye closed. Read more…
