I shot this tribute to Shock Treatment and Jessica Harper’s Janet Majors back in May to accompany Alice Collins’ Film & Fishnets article on Jim Sharman & Richard O’Brien’s cult classic (http://filmandfishnet.com/shocktreatment). I wasn’t too happy with how this video came out so, at the time, I chose to go with a different video piece (https://vimeo.com/336737559) to promote the FAME issue (http://filmandfishnet.com/ff-vol-4-fame). However, since I’m likely not shooting a new video for Halloween, I figured I might as well upload this piece. Enjoy, or don’t, but do have a Happy Halloween! For more content, as always, please visit: www.filmandfishnet.com.

As one does when they date a music video star (http://filmandfishnet.com/thirstandgalen), I performed the ups and downs of the relationship as lipsyncs over on TikTok. This compilation is comprised mainly of clips from the end of the affair and after the breakup, so please enjoy me losing my shit and being an absolute mess. Though I shuffled the clips around between the second compilation and this one, it should be apparent I’m dealing with another consequence of the breakup. But I guess that’s all on me now. At any rate, for more from me, please visit: www.filmandfishnet.com, www.vimeo.com/danicaannauskertquinn, www.twitter.com/donnauwanna, www.instagram.com/danicauskert, https://www.tiktok.com/@danica_darlingxoxo

As one does when they date a music video star (http://filmandfishnet.com/thirstandgalen), I performed the ups and downs of our relationship as lipsyncs over on TikTok. This compilation is comprised mainly of clips are from the middle of the affair. (For some reason, the whole video won't upload, but bear with me--I'll try to have it online in the next few hours.). VOL 3: the end of the relationship is coming soon.

This is a monologue not just for fellow starf*ckers but for anyone who has ever “dated up” in their field & who has felt abandoned, betrayed, and hurt by their partner. It’s also the intro to my article about my latest failed Hollywood relationship, coming soon to www.filmandfishnet.com.

So, as subscribers may or may not have noticed, I haven’t been uploading the type of content that I used to. For a while I was dating someone & I stopped posting work. This is a long-form eating performance piece that I shot during that time period (but didn’t upload), inspired by my ex’s performance in Weezer’s “Thank God for Girls.” It was one video in a series of videos that responded to other work of his. Unlike my other work, in reply to criticism concerning my rapid editing style, these videos have minimal editing and are comprised of very long takes so that the viewer can actually get a sense of the performance and let their eyes linger on my body. The piece was created for another platform, but I never uploaded it there, either…. This was the original description: “Model Danica Darling was dealing with rejection from some hot Hollywood trash tonight, so what did she do? Why eat her feelings, of course! Watch as our favorite tattooed femme cleans out her fridge and binge eats Mexican food, Chinese leftovers, a large fountain soda, chocolate ice cream, sour candy, and smokes a chocolate Swisher as she attempts to soothe her pain with food. Spend almost 20 minutes with this sad cutie as she eats comfort food to the beat of a hipster playlist. It’s as close as you’ll come to having your own angry inked babe glare at you over dinner. Pull up a chair and share this meal with her, hon. Forget a g**gbang, let’s mukbang.” Now that Galen & I have broken up, this description is a sadly accurate reading of how I spend a lot of my time.

Somewhere between the art of Cindy Sherman, ROBOT CHICKEN, FADE TO BLACK, Michael Winterbottom’s 9 SONGS, Jonathan Caouette’s TARNATION, Chris Marker’s SANS SOLEIL (or LA JETEE—whichever piece of his you feel best touches on the fragmented, subjective nature of memory), and your favorite reverse chronological narrative exists this meditation on obsession and desire. Created in 90 days, using different characters and songs to explore my feelings about one person, these vignettes were originally performed on tiktok (@danica_darlingxoxo) and Instagram (@danicauskert), and are presented here (mainly) in backwards order—from the most recent clip to a clip I shot the first night I met someone with whom I fell in love. This piece was exhausting to create and edit, and will likely be tedious to watch, but if I were you, I’d stick around through the end to make sure you’re not the subject. The video might be one of my first attempts at exploring a relationship backwards, and it was interesting to me to see me run the gamut of emotions—from jealousy to anger to apathy to unbridled joy to love—despite the fact that only 90 days had elapsed since I met this person. But they say it takes 21 days to create a habit & 90 days to make a lifestyle, so…you know….whatever.

Check out the ‘zine, if you feel so inclined. FINAL NOTE: This is a work in progress, and I make clips on tiktok or IG almost daily, so if you want to see where this is going, or if you’d rather watch the clips individually, please follow me on tiktok at: https://www.tiktok.com/@danica_darlingxoxo

Video performance piece for Film & Fishnets Vol. 4 FAME, out now: http://filmandfishnet.com/ff-vol-4-fame. While this video was inspired by several of the articles in this month’s zine (i.e. “The Face of the Gorgon: Fame and The Monstrous Feminine,” “STAR 80, LOVELACE & Men Who Use Women's Bodies For Fame,” “The Edible Star: Narrative Agency & Female Ingenues In THE NEON DEMON & STARRY EYES,” “The Glittering Guttersnipe Groupie, The Goddess Of Death: SID AND NANCY's Tragic Seduction,” etc.) it has its own set of references, specifically Patsy Stone (AbFab), Anna Nicole Smith, Jayne Mansfield, Nancy Spungen, St. Vincent, Joan Jett, Kembra Pfahler and…RELAXER because I’m irritated at Josh this month.

So…I’m wildly untalented and have hip dysplasia and seriously should not be tap dancing, but you know who doesn’t have any of those issues? My writers. They’re incredible. Since Film & Fishnets (www.filmandfishnet.com) has pivoted to film criticism, I’ve had the honor of publishing over 40 articles devoted to the discussion of sex and sexuality in cinema by a diverse and immensely talented group of film theorists and critics. However, at $250 per article and $150 per original illustration, I’ve spent over $12,000 as the zine’s sole financial backer. As much as I love and believe in my writers, want to give them a platform, and have sympathy for their personal financial issues, I can’t support them on my own. I’m begging anyone with even a little money to spare to please donate to the site’s patreon (www.patreon.com/danicauskert) to ensure that every writer who has pitched for the upcoming issues gets paid. This upcoming May issue, 13 writers need to get paid; a total of $3250 needs to be raised. I know it's a lot to ask, but they put in the effort and the scholarship, and me, well, clearly I'm willing to humiliate myself to get your attention for them. Anyway, if you have anything to spare, we'd appreciate it. Thank you so much!

A story-driven, super slow greenscreen burlesque/performance art striptease video supplement to the Film & Fishnets webzine VOL. 3 “Martyrs,” specifically Danielle’s article “Rock Me, Sexy Jesus” (http://filmandfishnet.com/sexyjesus), Becky’s article on being queer & religious & conversion therapy in film (http://filmandfishnet.com/shameonyou), and Christianne’s article on Zoe Tamerlis Lund (http://filmandfishnet.com/passionofzoe). For the impatient, toplessness begins at: 4:53, nudity begins at: 6:34. For the magazine component to these visuals, as well as more video art, visit: www.filmandfishnet.com.

One of the very first tattoos that I dedicated to my partner Caleb was the large rose & heart lock piece on my chest. It reads: “My kind’s your kind…they don’t love you like I love you,” lyrics from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs song “Maps.” That chest piece is several years old now, but the sentiment remains the same. Not too long ago, I was offered the chance to interview for a job in New York. Caleb recently was hired by a company in Los Angeles. If I land the job in NYC, this will be one of the last videos he and I make together for a long time. Since we began our relationship scored by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, it’s only fitting we end it scored by them. “Well, I was wrong. It never lasts. There is no modern romance.” (Performance art piece/fan video for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ “Modern Romance” and “Poor Song” from FEVER TO TELL. I claim no rights to this music.)

The positive thing about openly struggling with depression is that sometimes, when you tell people you care about, they help you make work about it. This manic nudie cutie striptease routine was created after I told my partner that I’d been preparing for death by ripping up my clothes and cleaning the house with the scraps. After we shot this piece, I felt better, as if by enacting my death drive, I’d exorcized it, at least temporarily. Anyway, I’m likely not going anywhere soon—a new issue of my magazine comes out on March 15th & I do have a feature film in post that I have to finish the audio on and get to festivals, so...I guess I’ll be hanging around. Obligations and whatnot. For more from me, visit: www.filmandfishnet.com, www.vimeo.com/danicaaannauskertquinn, www.instagram.com/danicauskert, www.twitter.com/donnauwanna

“The day he left me was the day I died. But then I was reborn as a witch.” So…I had some weird IRL interactions with filmtwitter folks a few weeks ago that worsened the depression I struggle with on a regular basis. I decided to tap into sources of female & LGBTQIA power instead of falling victim to suicidal thoughts and made this nudie cutie striptease video art piece with some echoes of The Love Witch, The Craft & Kenneth Anger. Enjoy, or don’t—I mostly made this one for myself, anyway. If you’re here looking for the nudity, it’s primarily in the second half of the video, as it is in most of my striptease videos.

“You remind me of me long ago, off the bus, full of ignorant ambition. Thought I’d waltz into some studio and achieve overnight recognition…” Can’t stop, won’t stop…with the showtunes. But what else is a gal to do when she now lives in LA and knows she’s a Betty, a Norma, a chorus girl, an Artie, and maybe also that poor bastard Joe Gillis?! Impromptu neo-burlesque/hotel room striptease footage shot in Los Angeles, December 2018 & January 2019. 7 looks, some nudity. This was supposed to be online at the beginning of January as my New Year’s video, but I’ve been busy settling into my place in Hollywood and didn’t have the time to finish the edit until this week. MUSIC: “This Time Next Year” from Sunset Boulevard, the musical (this particular recording with some lyrics changed is available on Amazon, but I much prefer the version from the 1st US tour in which Glenn Close played Norma.)

My final graffiti & projection striptease/post-burlesque performance art piece shot November 2018 in San Francisco’s Tenderloin district (right before I moved to Los Angeles). I’ve been settled in Hollywood for a few weeks now, but I already miss the old space dearly & I miss San Francisco very much. MUSIC: “Only One” by The Belle Game (available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Only-One-Belle-Game/dp/B07JBJX9G2/) Support the band: www.thebellegame.com/. Fan usage only, not an official video. Will remove/replace track if asked. For more from me, please visit: www.filmandfishnet.com, www.vimeo.com/danicaannauskertquinn, www.instagram.com/danicauskert, www.twitter.com/donnauwanna

Hotel room striptease shot on our last day/night at AFIFEST (Los Angeles) in mid-November and our last night in the Tenderloin (San Francisco) at the end of November. These past few years, we’ve found ourselves constantly going back and forth between the two cities and are now at the point where we're deciding which one to truly call home. Music: “Going Home (Again)” by Acid Ghost (www.acidghostsf.bandcamp.com).

Naked graffiti performance art piece to two tracks—Cigarettes After Sex “Nothing’s Gonna Hurt You Baby” (cigarettesaftersex.com) and Ryan Hemsworth ft. Keaton Henson & Mitski “Wait” (from adult swim singles 2016, www.adultswim.com/music/). TW for the intro—audio of domestic dispute. Performance & visuals begin around 1:50. After Caleb wrecked our Tenderloin studio & made it uninhabitable, I was traumatized by the experience and had to figure out a way to make going back palatable. There was no way to live in the apartment after our argument, but we had to return to clean the space & move what was left of our things out. The solution was to turn the entire space into a constantly evolving work of art so that I wouldn’t be scared to return. (Audio & video shot on Nov 3 & 5, if anyone who saw me at AFIFEST was wondering why I was near silent at the festival.)

Multi-costume striptease to Ayesha Erotica’s “Expensive.” Footage shot in LA/SF early-mid Oct 2018. I previously used this track in a 4 song performance piece (on the old account), but I love it so much that it merits its own standalone video.

A live-action re-imagining of Bojack Horseman s3e11 "That's Too Much, Man!" in which Sarah Lynn does NOT overdose. Why did we do this? Catharsis. A lot of fans were upset about Sarah Lynn’s death. I certainly was. She was my favorite character! But you know what? I’m Sarah Lynn. You’re Sarah Lynn. We’re all Sarah Lynn. SARAH LYNN LIVES. “See, Sarah Lynn, we're not doomed. In the great grand scheme of things, we're just tiny specks that will one day be forgotten. So, it doesn't matter what we did in the past, or how we'll be remembered. The only thing that matters is right now, this moment, this one spectacular moment we are sharing together.” For more Bojack Horseman, head over to Netflix.

3 tracks, 5 looks that all end in nudity, gallons of fake blood. Presenting a very special Halloween mega-strip for all you boils & ghouls, featuring music from an old favorite (now unfortunately defunct) local band, the Groovie Ghoulies.

“It’s almost like your notoriety was somehow staged. It’s almost like that society is on another page. Now you’re all shiny & new, waiting for somebody to recognize you. A nameless face with the meanest taste…” So…I’ve never smiled more in any other video I’ve made. For some reason, whenever we’re in Hollywood, I feel immediately at ease. Something about getting to strut down Hollywood Blvd in mini-skirts & heels & wigs just makes me feel like I’m at home. Maybe it’s the abundant sunshine, maybe it’s the artifice, maybe it’s just me? MUSIC: “Hollywood” by Ayesha Erotica. (www.ayeshaerotica.bandcamp.com, www.soundcloud.com/pussysugar, www.twitter.com/AyeshaErotica, www.instagram.com/theAyeshaErotica).

A hotel room striptease/floorwork routine to Ayesha Erotica’s “Vixen” (ayeshaerotica.bandcamp.com, soundcloud.com/pussysugar, twitter.com/AyeshaErotica, instragam.com/theAyeshaErotica). If the Peggy Bundy look at the beginning of the video doesn’t work for you, keep watching--there are 5+ costume changes in this video including a modern millennial Marie Antoinette, a very kinky maid with an Ab Fab updo, my natural look, and then of course, there's always the nudity. Enjoy! For more from me, please visit: www.filmandfishnet.com, www.vimeo.com/danicaannauskertquinn, twitter.com/donnauwanna, instagram.com/danicauskert.

Another garage striptease video. Last video of the month because I have to wrap my feature in 3 weeks and don't have time to make any video art until October. For more from me, please visit: www.filmandfishnet.com, www.twitter.com/donnauwanna, www.instagram.com/danicauskert. I claim no rights to this music--fan video only--but I am a major 'Til Tuesday fan and really love Sky’s cover of their classic (https://soundcloud.com/skyferreira/voices-carry-cover-infant-demo). Will remove track if asked.

Lyric video & performance/video art piece to “I Need a Cigarette”—a song I commissioned from the incredibly talented Ayesha Erotica (www.ayeshaerotica.bandcamp.com, www.soundcloud.com/pussysugar, www.twitter.com/AyeshaErotica, www.instagram.com/theAyeshaErotica). This is NOT an endorsement of any particular brand nor is it meant to glamorize cigarette smoking. I asked for this track because stress-smoking is something that I picked up in my 30s, and it’s a personal habit of mine. I love the track; it’s extremely relatable, so I made a video. I don’t need a lecture about how I should manage my depression or personal pain. This is what works for me. Thanks. XOXO.

Promised myself I’d pause production on nudie cutie videos while I was making my feature, but my friend Marilyn Roxie released some killer tracks from Vukovar under their netlabel Vulpiano Records today, and I was inspired to make this. The footage was shot on Poly Styrene's birthday (remembrance), but edited on Net Label Day. MUSIC: Vukovar "Tryst of Emanations" & "Overgarden" [live]. You can find these and other Creative Commons tracks here: www.vulpianorecords.com/.

One of these days, I’m going to have to start composing my own music again. In the meantime, here’s another fan video/video art performance piece to a song by a band that means a lot to me. Metric got me through some of the most difficult moments in my life. Without going into too much detail, I listened to them a lot & went to their shows in NYC in the early 2000’s when I worked as a provider (past tense--I've been done with that life for some time). They’ve fortunately continued to make stellar music these last 15 years, and all of it has helped me maintain a connection to parts of myself and my history that I always fear I’m losing. Anyway, here’s a nudie cutie fan video to “For Kicks,” off Metric’s “Pagans in Vegas” album from 2015. As always, all rights belong to the artist, and I will remove the track if asked. Please support the band: www.ilovemetric.com, or purchase their albums on Amazon or iTunes. For more from me, please visit www.filmandfishnet.com, www.instagram.com/danicauskert, www.twitter.com/donnauwanna

Over the years, I’ve done a number of “cut piece” style performances utilizing clothing that was initially worn during abusive relationships. Destroying specific garments associated with traumatic memories has been an incredibly helpful way to cope with PTSD & flashbacks. This specific performance art/video art piece is set to PJ Harvey’s “Dress,” and features a 17 year old vintage BCBG Max Azria ballgown. As always, all rights to the music belong to the artist, and I will remove the track if asked.

Shibari knifeplay striptease/post-punk burlesque piece.

Last month, my band Tenderloin Trash recorded a song. Caleb & I attempted to make a video, but because we’re so busy with pre-production on our feature, the video got scrapped. I decided the best course of action would be to set the footage to an Ayesha Erotica song because I haven’t used her work in a while & I miss her dearly. Music: “Unfinished” by Tenderloin Trash & “Used” by Ayesha Erotica (www.ayeshaerotica.bandcamp.com, Instagram.com/theAyeshaErotica).

There are a few songs I listen to on repeat when I’m down, Metric’s “Soft Rock Star” is one of them. It’s a track that I would’ve morosely stripped to if SF’s Lusty Lady peep show were still open; alas, it’s now a track on this nudie cutie/striptease/performance art piece. All rights to “Soft Rock Star” [Jimmy vs. Joe mix] from the album “Grow Up And Blow Away” (2015) go to Metric (www.ilovemetric.com). This is a fan video only.

I’m a hapa hopelessly infatuated with other hapas, so of course, Jhené Aiko’s “Sail Out” & Ta-Ku’s “Music to Breakup To” have been on heavy rotation in my household since their respective releases in 2013. “We Were in Love,” Ta-Ku’s remix of Jhené Aiko’s “Comfort Inn Ending (freestyle)” is one of my all-time favorite tracks (…if you follow me on twitter @donnauwanna, you’d know I have a thing about “heavy breathing songs”). “We Were in Love” is moody, dramatic, and romantic in a somber kind of way that makes it perfect for pole dancing or ugly crying into your pillow. I decided to work through my fandom (& latest depressed spell) by cutting a video to it. Enjoy. NOTE: All music rights go to Ta-Ku (www.ta-ku.co/, https://soundcloud.com/takugotbeats) & Jhené Aiko (www.jheneaiko.com/). No copyright infringement intended. Will remove & replace track if asked.

I’ve been really depressed, so on 420, I decided to do an edibles & editing experiment, some cannabis-aided cognitive behavioral therapy, if you will.

This footage was a costume test shot weeks ago for a friend’s exploitation short in which I play a kidnapped woman turned reluctant stripper. In light of the current news cycle, I’m uncertain as to whether or not that short film will be released. We don’t want to contribute to a culture that is perpetuating harassment towards women. That said, it is difficult to look at my own work as a performance artist & producer of erotica without wondering if it also fuels the same behavior. If it does, it’s being gravely misunderstood. I am a rape survivor and an abuse survivor, my partner is the same. The work we made together was meant to be a way for me to rebuild a healthy connection to sex, to my body, and to other people. When my partner became more active in physically being in the work himself, the intent was the same. The pieces were meant to be healing--to take actions (like getting confronted with a knife, like being called a name, like being tied up, etc.) that may have been threatening to us at one point in time, to repeat them ritualistically in a safe space with a loved one, until they become either 1) meaningless or 2) imbued with a new meaning, one grounded in love, not hate. In the last 3 years of work, what you watched was two people heal themselves. Reddit killed that, slightly, though the video response to that thread was meant to demonstrate that no troll could kill the self-love I have for myself now, after years of working for it. However, the hatred that accrued on that thread lingered like a festering tumor. I still feel it; all its ugliness is still there. I don’t like issuing artist’s statements. I wanted my work to be open to interpretation. But, again, every day of new headlines makes it clear that I have to take some sort of stance. ANYWAY, this is a lot longer than I would have wanted for this particular video, which again, isn’t much of anything at all except a costume test/basic burlesque bump and grind for a short film which may never make it online. I just felt the need to speak up, for once.

Recently returned from the Telluride Film Festival. While I was incredibly upset by the racist content in one particular film and the lack of diversity in the films selected, the nicer parts of the trip involved hanging out in our hotel rooms, away from the crowds. This nudie cutie travelogue video was shot at various points during our vacation--the better times, when I wasn’t angrily doing outreach to press/friends in advocacy groups. As appalled as I was by the situation at the festival, the trip was still more or less ok...mostly due to the manic joy that often accompanies the novelty of traveling. (There’s a longer story related to the trip that involves a major feud with my prospective mother-in-law, but I can leave that subject as one to be explored in the next video. Or never, publicly.)

I was pretty devastated after seeing some of the comments about me on the r/WTF Reddit thread last week. It was enough for me to trash the pieces I’ve been working on this month, and pour my footage into this video. Here's my response to the negativity: a gift. Please enjoy (or hate on) this burlesque/shibari/knifeplay/striptease/performance art compilation piece for August. This video is scored to the music that got me through the month: Adult Mom’s “Meg Ryan” (www.adultmom.bandcamp.com) and Ayesha Erotica’s “Excite Me” (demo) & “I’ll Do It” (demo) (www.ayeshaerotica.bandcamp.com, www.soundcloud.com/pussysugar, www.soundcloud.com/whore1234, www.twitter.com/AyeshaErotica).

Fan video for Ayesha Erotica's "Never Marry an Icon." Support Ayesha Erotica: www.ayeshaerotica.bandcamp.com, www.soundcloud.com/pussysugar, www.twitter.com/AyeshaErotica. [music starts at 2:41] For more from me, visit: www.filmandfishnet.com, www.vimeo.com/danicauskert, www.twitter.com/donnauwanna. --------------- [About this project:] My creative partner and I spent a week in character as Sid Vicious and Nancy Spungen and filmed it. This experiment was prompted by the realization that we had both idolized these figures since we were children and shared a lot in common with them. While the costume choices in the video were motivated by Alex Cox's "Sid and Nancy," the character choices were motivated by other sources. The text in the prologue of the video is comprised of Sid's two letters to Nancy's mother Deborah Spungen after Nancy's death. The handwritten note is Sid's suicide note. All of these materials can be found on the “Sid & Nancy: Love Kills” fan site: http://sidandnancylovekills.blogspot.co.uk/. The letters can also be found in Deborah Spungen's memoir "And I Don't Want to Live this Life." The audio at the beginning of the video is from Deborah Spungen's Donahue appearance. I mean no disrespect and claim no rights to this material and will remove it from the video if asked. Nor am I making direct comparisons. While I feel a close kinship to Nancy (we were both blue babies, had a troubled adolescence, were sex workers, were groupies, suffer from nightmares/PTSD, etc) and my partner also had a similar upbringing to Sid's (both had a musician father who skipped out on his mom, a young single mother-upbringing/broken home that resulted in juvenile delinquency, dropping out of school, drug use, self-harm, bouncing around from band to band, etc), the difference is that, despite our troubled lives, we outlived our heroes. Our brokenness led to something whole, something productive; it led us to change, to heal. Having these icons during our formative years helped us feel less alone, and having each other now helps us stay alive. BTW: This isn't a wedding announcement. We've been getting some messages about that, but this is NOT a wedding announcement. If it happens, it happens. [Final note: It's been difficult for me, since I'm very out as a polyamorous pansexual personality, to publicly admit that I'm in a committed hetero-leaning relationship (as much as a relationship between two kinky-bi-drag hos can be called that). But I do love my partner and most of the work accomplished these last two years was a direct result of his influence and/or collaboration. So take that or leave it...]

Another shibari-knifeplay-striptease performance art piece. Fan video for Acid Ghost’s “There’s No Use in Trying Anymore” and “All Alone” (www.acidghostsf.bandcamp.com).

When Acid Ghost released their latest album “WARHOL,” I was inspired to create a fan video equal parts Andy Warhol, Stan Brakhage, Kenneth Anger, Nobuyoshi Araki, and Richard Kern. So here’s a video accompaniment for the first few tracks from Acid Ghost’s new album, with references to the art world icons who have strongly influenced my practice. (Yes, there's nudity, yes there's shibari, and yes, there are knives.) Music: “Life,” “The Artist’s High,” “Downtown SF,” and “Dilemma” from the album “WARHOL” by Acid Ghost. For the full album, and their many others, visit: www.acidghostsf.bandcamp.com. If you’re feeling generous, buy their entire discography for only $15. I did, and it’s worth it.

Almost 20 minutes of me being femme-punk to my favorite female-fronted punk, pop punk, and rock tunes. A basic two layer video with multiple payoffs. Layer one: goofing off after band practice...booze, bass playing, & bedroom wrestling. Layer two: spanking, paddling, handcuffs, knife play (including cutting off clothes), teasing & full frontal. If you’re not seeing what you want, watch the whole way through, everything’s on display at one point or another. MUSIC: The Eyeliners, The Donnas, The Bangs, Bratmobile, The Rondelles, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and The Sounds. More info in the video credits, including band websites and CD/label info.

experimental erotica. another shibari/knifeplay piece. (a note for viewers who get irritated when I use too many layers: the diffusion ends around 3:19, the rest of the piece only has two layers, and I'm fully visible and offer up full-frontal from that point on.)

this hybrid performance art-emo burlesque-striptease-lyric video goes out to the person who sang his own cover of the song to me a few nights ago. your version was the best that I’d ever heard and it touched me.

Winter hit SF in the form of heavy rain between the end of November and the beginning of December, and weather & seasonal indulgences have produced a soft winter body, but a (mostly) hard attitude. Footage shot over the last few weeks. This piece could easily have been a few snapchat clips (if I used snapchat), but as disposable as it seems, it’s notable because this is the first video I’ve uploaded in which my vag is shaved. [Note: It’s also a bit of an FU to the people who asked me not to use the strobe editing technique in my work. I LOVE the strobe edit, and won’t stop using it for you. Maybe, if you, I don’t know, get someone like Gaspar Noé to tell me to stop using certain techniques, I’d consider it, but I won’t stop doing what I enjoy aesthetically for just anyone.

Yet another nudiecutie/peepshow video with shibari and knife play, though this piece gets so abstract, I’d be amazed if you catch the action. It’s also an experimental video art piece about my current feelings as a disillusioned American citizen, dealing with (as always) the vacuousness of consumer culture and my suppressed feelings about the results of the election...both things that have caused me to feel as if I were drowning or fading; and both things that inspire a quiet anger. [Personal notes: Please excuse the shitty dancing. I’m still going to physical therapy for injuries I sustained on a shoot earlier this year. My mobility won’t be good for a while. Personally, I think it’s funny to be awkward and imperfect about displaying “femininity” especially in a forum where a viewer might expect something a little more conventionally sexy. If you haven’t picked up on it yet, my angle with womanhood, especially one that you can consume or buy, is that it’s a bit of a joke, and I don’t really take it too seriously. I happen to be a woman, who is a bit of a femme, but I’m also a clown and also a punk, and not too much is sacred to me.] Music: Imperial Teen - “Year of the Tan” (album: What is Not To Love; Slash Records, 1999). www.imperialteen.com for more from me, visit: www.filmandfishnet.com, www.vimeo.com/danicauskert, www.twitter.com/donnauwanna ------------- editor’s notes: This piece uses the following creative commons VJ loops by beeple (www.vimeo.com/beeple), because I’m infatuated with his amazing work... higsquigs: https://vimeo.com/9375689 TV distortion: https://vimeo.com/9380153

*Official Selection PORN FILM FESTIVAL BERLIN 2017: Oct. 24-29, 2017* To quote my hero, my inspiration, and my girl-crush Ayesha Erotica: "A girl this hot doesn't come for free..." In order for me to keep producing work, I'm going to need a little help. Please donate to my patreon (www.patreon.com/danicauskert) or to my paypal (www.paypal.me/danicauskert) and ensure that I keep producing content.

On the one hand, her work is flippant and sarcastic, on the other it’s dead serious. It’s energetic, it’s provocative; for people who’ve lived certain lives, it’s fucking real. Ayesha's an amazing lyricist with a sexy voice and a killer (often enviably deadpan) delivery, and while I'm too much of a punk to be the exact type of consumer whore evoked by her work, I still connect to every damn song. Though we feel differently about luxury consumer goods, we share one thing in common, an unapologetically hyper-feminine yet extremely aggressive sexuality. While this particular track, “Juicy Couture," seems superficial and preoccupied with materialistic concerns, it plays with some very kinky DDLG themes and some other fucking sexy shit. Also, I love Ayesha's rap and club songs, but I really, really adore when she goes pop, which she does in this song. Call me old fashioned, call me a fashion whore…call me whatever, IDGAF. Just watch this video, support Ayesha, and please continue to support me. Every view means something, dammit. Also, I just launched a patreon page. If you like what I do, and you can help financially support my work, I'd be incredibly grateful. Thank you.

I haven’t been feeling well this week because I got injured on a shoot that wasn’t mine last weekend, but…when I found out it was National Guacamole Day (yes, apparently that’s a thing), I had to make a video. Serendipitously, the artist enl1te recently added me on twitter (his handle is @1Mexican1Laptop, also @enl1te) and asked me to make a video of me “dancing" to his music. While I don’t really dance, when I heard “Tastemaker” and “Whats Good,” I knew I had to make him a video. This one goes out to him and to all my guac lovers out there.

Performance video to The Chromatics’ “I Want Your Love,” from the album “Night Drive” (label: Italians Do it Better, year: 2007). Video features stripping, knife play, fake blood and body paint. If a woman fake stabbing herself because she is lonesome for company is a trigger for you, don’t watch this video. Otherwise, the video falls under the same theme as a lot of my work, woman desires a human interaction & emotional connection not immediately available to her, woman overreacts.

I got stood up yesterday. Whenever I get stood up, there’s really only one song that plays in my head, ceaselessly: The Buzzcocks’ “What Do I Get?” So, let me share with you one of my more morbid nudie cuties, because this is more or less how an evening turns out when a date decides not to show up. (Eyeroll.) Wanna cheer me up the next time I get stood up? Follow me: www.twitter.com/donnauwanna

Minimal editing, no crazy effects, just a plain old-fashioned naked food fight. Enjoy.

danica darling does a fetish themed performance piece to four Ayesha Erotica songs. So many kinky bases covered here: shibari, knife play, wax play, other assorted BDSM play... Hope you enjoy, it might be a while before I get to shoot a video this epic & freaky again.

Bey sang: "Middle fingers up, I ain't thinking 'bout you." Grimes threatened: "See you on a dark night." Ayesha Erotica sings: "I still hold on to your empty packs of Newports..." But on "Fins," the singer moves beyond romantic obsession to self-realization--"if you're not interested then I don't need your fins to swim/'cause I won't sink, no I won't drown in my feelings for you." The woman unlucky in love is a common media trope, and Ayesha annihilates it with her moody vocals and well-observed lyrics. One of my favorite tracks this summer along with the rest of her work.

*OFFICIAL SELECTION VAULT FILM FESTIVAL 2017* Another fan video for Ayesha Erotica. To clarify, I am in this video, but I am not Ayesha Erotica. I should be so lucky. The woman is young, beautiful, talented, and absolutely perfect. She's a stunning brunette straight outta SoCal who looks like a goddess and sings like she knows what she wants. I adore her. Check out her work here: www.ayeshaerotica.bandcamp.com www.soundcloud.com/pussysugar www.twitter.com/AyeshaErotica [Note: The ultimate goal of my using so much of her music as of late is to shoot a video with her actually in it. Hit either of us up if you'd be so kind as to provide funding to allow this to happen. Thanks!] Watch my other videos for Ayesha: FINS https://vimeo.com/178842742 disgruntled: a political interlude https://vimeo.com/176806695

While I'm uploading older projects, I figured I would start uploading the unfinished episodes of my semi-autobiographical webseries "The Business," which I shot last summer. This episode picks up after Donna sleeps with her friend Jamie in episode one and finds her trying to reconnect with him after a rough day. It was never finished, because since the start of the project, I was kicked out of my apartment (which was used as a primary location), had to deal with financial and personal struggles, lost a lot of my crew (some folks got married, some moved to LA), and a lot of other bullshit. It's foreseeable that I'll finish up these episodes at some point in the next few months, but honestly, this whole endeavor became so painful and such a struggle, that I'm not entirely sure if I have it in me to continue working on it any more.

*OFFICIAL SELECTION VAULT FILM FESTIVAL 2017, PORN FILM FESTIVAL BERLIN 2017, PORN FILM FESTIVAL VIENNA 2018* I shouldn't have to explain this one too much. I've been incredibly frustrated during this entire election period. I'm not entirely satisfied with either main candidate, but, hey, they don't make Hillary piñatas.

//Fangirl goes out to LA to interview her favorite actor. Actor is gracious enough to grant said interview. And that’s it. Fangirl spends every night and most of the rest of her time in LA alone.// In this installment of the F&F vlog, we find your girl heading out to Los Angeles to interview Joshua Burge. If you are unfamiliar with his oeuvre, his most recent work includes "The Revenant" and the soon to be released "20th Century Women," but he's best known as the star of the award-winning indie films "Buzzard," and "Ape," the short "Coyote," and as the lead singer of Chance Jones (whose songs often appear in my other work). The actual interview will be out in August (so subscribe to this channel or you’ll miss it). This video is mostly about the trip and me handling my emotions, which honestly...after a little moping and a little drinking, I was fine. Because really, what the fuck did I expect was going to happen? (He’s a 10, I’m a 2, he’s in a relationship and has a career, I’m...a total nobody.)

I was rubbing dairy based food products all over myself long before that Fergie video. But, yes, if we had to draw a parallel, this video is exactly like hers, except with a NONexistent budget, less women, a less striking woman, shot on worse equipment...you get the picture. But, hey, those are minor details. If you want to watch a lady slather herself in creamy goodness, press play.

soft colors, soft body, soft sounds...everything about this video is just that, soft. music: Ava Zandieh, courtesy of Vulpiano Records. www.vulpianorecords.com you can find more of Ava's music at soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/avazandieh or at http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Ava_Zandieh/

//happiness is a polite food fight.// sometimes my on/off partner and I aspire to be the next Marina Abramovic and Ulay, because those are amazing art world/performer/career goals, but then, at the end of the day, we’re just us, and this bullshit happens. there are only minor edits to this, so the video gets painfully awkward. ...if you’re wondering why I try to keep a straight face in most of my other videos, it’s because my face looks chubby when I smile. but, for your amusement--here’s a mostly unedited couples’ erotic food fight, and me laughing uncontrollably. also, I usually don’t speak in such a high pitch (I have a low voice)…I only do it when I’m extremely happy, and in this instance, I was terribly elated to have someone play with me, because I am so tired of performing by myself.

//a piece about crushing, relationship bullshit, and oh, yes, emotional eating// I’ve always wanted to do performance pieces to these songs, but due to copyright issues, I’ve never quite had the courage to go ahead. At this point in time, I have to rationalize using the music with the following: if I were a dancer/stripper/drag queen/other IRL public performing artist, you wouldn’t prevent the dj from playing my song selection, and if I wanted to create a vine/snap/insta using this music, there wouldn’t be an issue either. So, let me have this for a second. In the event I’m asked to take this down, I’m welcoming song submissions from artists who make mopey/relationship/other appropriate music. Anyway, the original pieces I devised for this music were different and involved knife play. But, since a piece involving cutting was already removed from my account some months ago, I decided to do something that reflected where I’m currently at…which is— I’m with someone I hold dear, and yet I have this ridiculous crush that’s been messing with my relationship. I don’t fall for people easily, but I have been terribly in love with someone whom I concede I have no right to be. This piece reflects the coping strategy I’ve adapted since we’ve started talking: I binge, I listen to relationship-related songs, I cry in my shower. I am terribly sorry to both my partner and this other person for my selfishness, but I can’t help my dumb heart. ALSO, I feel like this behavior is of the sort to be attributed to stereotypically “female” behavior, and I wanted to explore the ridiculousness of it, and tear at the stigma of emotional eating, crushing, and other very human things. We’re all allowed to feel, we cope how we need to cope.

Personal footage from my trip to Colorado earlier this month. Nudity and nature, in abundance, with a meditational/experimental bent deeply inspired by Michel Gondry's video for Bjork's "Hyperballad," and a romantic/contemplative bent inspired by his video for Flight of the Conchords' "Carol Brown (Choir of Ex-Girlfriends)." I'm a major Gondry fan and would be lying if I said I didn't appreciate the way his films dissect relationships and memory, which are also themes I try to navigate in my work on occasion. Other references: Wong Kar Wai's vibrant, sensual color palate, David Lynch's blend of the unseemly and the erotic, blahblahblah... You guys don't care. Just watch the damn thing.

Some snapshots of the first few weeks of summer in San Francisco, before the fog rolled in. A decent portrait of how I spend my time when I'm not getting naked for a short: mostly, I heart the outdoors, I love pinball, old arcade machines, and anything retro, and I can probably drink you under the table. I also spend a great deal of time with people I love who have the patience to love me back. Currently, there's one person. But if you're trying to apply, that's your checklist: be patient enough to take a disabled girl on a hike, to deal with me when I'm drunk, to relax enough to eat and watch cult movies with me, and to let me get the high score on any machine, always. Bonus if you know how to operate a camera, write your own screenplays, and make music. Seriously. || MUSIC BY: Chance Jones. PLEASE SUPPORT THESE MUSICIANS! I can't stress this enough. My videos are nothing without their soundtracks; I am indebted to the people who let me use their work. So far, I think I've used more tracks by this band than by anyone else in my work (other than Marilyn Roxie). The lead singer's been pretty gracious, please be gracious too and show some support: www.chancejones1.bandcamp.com

Shibari session utilizing my favorite fetish object - film. Some touching, petting, finger sucking, and blade/scissor play. Music by ROZKOL and Rotor Perdition, found with a public domain/CC license on www.freemusicarchive.org

Meditational experimental piece about the feminine/domestic, but most literally it depicts an afternoon trapped indoors during a heat wave, doing laundry naked. (Originally shot late May 2016, but I held off on posting this because I wasn't certain about it.) || as always, more work at www.filmandfishnet.com || Music by Marilyn Roxie www.marilynroxie.com www.vulpianorecords.com

My general feeling any afternoon spent having conversations with detractors and people who only see what they want in me, which is to say, they know my characters and my constructed selves, and/or want to project certain attributes upon me that aren't really me. It's always difficult to handle these people and their comments. Ultimately, like anyone else, I'm just trying to seek an authentic connection with someone, even if I have to play something fictive to find someone real. || MUSIC BY: Marilyn Roxie || www.marilynroxie.com || www.vulpianorecords.com

A quick photo session before I went to get my chest tattooed, plus some shots after. More conceptual video art coming after my chest heals. Music: "Monkey See, Monkey Do" - Chance Jones www.chancejones1.bandcamp.com

I have this terrible problem with overreacting and controlling my emotions when a partner steps outside of a relationship, physically or emotionally. Which is funny, because, I personally do it often and acknowledge that I need to learn to be as patient, understanding, and accommodating as the majority of my partners have been with me. This video is my way of working through some issues and keeping myself in check--mainly, showing myself how ugly and irrational my jealousy can be. || Music: TV Girl - "Hate Yourself" (originally found on freemusicarchive.org with a CC license).

“And nothing I do now is original […] my life’s work a collage” sings Dan Wreck, the lead of Neurotic Wreck, on the track “When Clocks Start to Melt,” another Vulpiano Records release (www.vulpianorecords.com) that’s been finding resonance in my life as of late. For the die hard fans of my more erotic work, it’s a return to form — nudity, shibari, etc. Please enjoy. (…after this, I might be taking a break from making videos for a while, because, to be honest, I’m exhausted.)

Love is confusing, right folks? These past few weeks I've experienced some crazy ups and downs relationship-wise,* and haven't been feeling like myself. (*OK, "relationship" is a big stretch here--there was relationship drama, and then there was some shit that wasn't even a thing.) Parallel to my emotional meltdown, the amazing Marilyn Roxie at Vulpiano Records (vulpianorecords.com) released a track by Thorn 1, "Your Troubles Are Over" -- a dreamy shoegaze number that became the anthem to my inner turmoil. This video has been in the works for a few weeks, but since my releases are emotionally-motivated (I'm an "art-as-catharsis" kinda gal), it kept on evolving until it reached...this mess. Whatever, if you don't like it, go watch my nudie-cutie bullshit. This one, I had to do for me.

This Neurotic Wreck track came out during a rough patch in a current relationship. Since the song more or less fit my situation, I cut together a performance art/diary video for the tune. Song courtesy of Vulpiano Records: vulpianorecords.com

The second piece in the "rainy day" series: a body paint/green screen performance.

Killing time on a rainy weekend at a friend's apartment, making short clips. The title of this piece is self-explanatory.

A moody rumination on the 288th consecutive playdate that I've shared with a particular partner.

A short adult experimental erotica clip capturing the feels of the Easter season. Mostly, a lazy few days in bed, doing as bunnies do. Enjoy. xoxo, d. filmandfishnet.com music by the talented, gracious marilyn roxie: marilynroxie.com

A different take on an "adult" theme. A girl takes a "golden shower," not with urine, but with bottles of gold paint as she's bathed in colorful imagery. It's an experimental, slightly punk, slightly avant garde, super-soft-core performance art piece thrown together over the course of two rainy days, and it's not meant to be taken seriously. We had fun making it, and hope you enjoy watching it. xoxo, danica filmandfishnet.com music by the incredibly talented, absolutely wonderful marilyn roxie: marilynroxie.com
