Thank you. I saw her perform at Jackie 60 and was wondering where she might be today. There is little on the web. I did not know she had been a submarine commander or that she had passed.
ReplyDeleteI was her ex husband/wife Danielle Willis...I'm so sorry I couldn't save her..

DeleteI knew Brigit from before she transitioned and taught her blues guitar. We had a falling apart over her drug abuse, like Danielle Willis said, I'm sorry I couldn't save her. Hi Danielle, I remember my late wife Kim and I having some fun conversations with you and Brigit back-in-the-day. I hope all is well with you.

DeleteI knew Brigit Brat as God’s Girlfriend through her cassette tape. I was so inspired by her song “Octavia” that I used it for my DJ name in college radio, and then my pen name in a small magazine I co-published with my ex for over 20 years. I am grateful for Brigit’s bravery, inspiration, and creative expressions.
ReplyDeleteI raise my glass to my fave TS beauty queen and friend Brigit Brat. I met her via my friend Danielle Willis author of 'Dogs in Lingerie' more than that , both are a friend of mine
ReplyDeleteI knew BB from Bondage a Go-Go. In the late 90’s, we went on the doomed Enit tour with Porno 4 Pyros and were in Catherine Coatney’s fashion show for the LA Fetish Ball. We had a skit worked out where I was supposed to dominate BB and put her in this big cage. During our bit, BB ripped my top off and threw me inside the cage! I’d love to see this video one day, but one of the models refused to sign the model release. BB turned heads at the airports during our tour, clathed in a sheer dress with HER d*ck taped down between the butt cheeks, black electrical tape covering her nipples, tall stripper platform heels, towering 7 feet tall.
