Yes, everyone is always asking me....why "tempest storm," considering she is a stripper and all that....no, i am not some cybersex maniac girl that wanders into chat rooms looking for a good time..i think not....I just obtained that somewhat irrelevant name from a friend and an innocent film-making experience.

The Whole Story

My friend Matt and I decided that we were going to make a cult movie with Quentin Tarantino sort of appeal...so, we got out the video camera and opened the movie with my black lab sitting in a bow-tie and vest. We had a "sit Ubu sit" commercial...if you're not familiar I think it might be a local thing....?? On Matt's shirt was a picture of the original Tempest...yes, the stripper...so he called me "Tempest Storm" and referred to himself as Winkie. We proceeded to film "Tempest Storm and Winkie go to Paris"...driving around the small town of Waynesboro, Pennsylvania and calling it Paris...we visited the Palace at Versailles (an old folks home) and just drove around making stupid jokes that actually were funny in a tasteless kind of way....well, you know...

Needless to say, after having this nickname online for 5-6 years, I've realized the mistake this may cause (and actually gotten some nasty e-mails in the process..)
