I can’t even believe I’m writing this.
Steph was the best of us.
It’s hard to really explain how much we loved this girl. Authentic, generous, kind, hilarious…I don’t know anyone more loved. I’ve never seen a better dancer. I’ve never met someone who worked this hard, who dedicated their life to what they loved so diligently, who got every single reference so instantly…who never missed a beat. Cancer took so much from her, but it never took her spirit. Her sweet, quietly inappropriate, beautiful, hilarious, Moira Rose quote screaming, puzzle doing, face kicking, giant hearted spirit. She fought with everything she had because she was built that way. Her only gear was Give it ALL you got and babygirl DID. She fought her way to Broadway, fought her way back from brain cancer & surgery to get BACK on Broadway, and she fought for her life right up until the end. We are heartbroken, devastated, enraged, unwell, and just plain sad. I can’t believe she’s gone. I can’t believe she died this way. I can’t believe something so inhumane could happen to such a great girl who we really needed here with us. It makes no sense. It never will. And to try to make sense of this is just plain silly. What’s not silly is to do your damndest to enjoy your life. We never know how long we’ve got. Tell people you love them. Find something to enjoy every day. Do what brings you joy. Get a dip manicure and find the largest wine glass you can for our sweet girl. Make it red and make it large.
Steph was the best of us. The very best of us.
We love you so much, Steph. You lead by example, you inspired every day, there’s not a chance you’ll be forgotten. See you on the other side, my sweet girl.

Another Hundred People at @sigtheatre 💕 this was such a treat to put together and SO hard, haha! Thanks for having me, @mattcgardiner 🥰
Go to @sigtheatre to find the whole video.
Moira Rose told me I had to take a thousand naked pictures of myself and send them to the internet…this is as far as I’m willing to go. It’s been a weird year…or three years…or five years. I have no sense of time – or shame! -anymore, but I forgot about these photos of my Vampire Halloween costume. I made the shrug and the skirt out of clearance fabric from Jo Ann…they have it year round…and I wonder what people use it for when it’s not Halloween… anyway, go make a costume and hang out with sweet people like Pat who will also make a costume and cover their mouth with fake blood in public. Be sure to post the photos five months later 🤦🏼♀️❤️💀
Look! I’m a tiny bit tan! It’s a miracle!

Everything is garbage except for this lil troublemaker.
I love a city that, legend has it, dealt with a child eating dragon for like… a thousand years only to erect a stunning homage to said terror upon her death. I can only hope to achieve this level of notoriety and I feel inspired to step up my hauntings.

When your friend opens a hotel in Umbria 😳😭💕 @vero_in_italy
This is the resident hotel Donkey at @vero_in_italy , Daisy. Daisy came with the property. They literally said, “you can buy the villa, but it comes with this Donkey. She cannot be moved.” She is a distinguished older lady, she commands attention, she is a star. She is 100% in it for the treats…not for the pets. But, I’m here for a few more days and @kailaterraneo gave me carrots and Donkey cookies…so…stay tuned. Sound on for Donkey rejection.
