PitchWeekly
Kansas City, MO
1992 - 1999
As sassy bon-vivant essayist Kiki Dakota, wrote "Innercourse," a weekly sex humor column that became this alternative weekly's most popular regular column. Also wrote by special assignment, including international travel articles and annual Elvis Parade coverage.

A few samples are posted for your enjoyment.

In conjunction with Innercourse, performed readings and did public appearances to promote the paper and build readership.

The Wednesday Magazine
Kansas City, MO
1993-1995
Wrote cooking column, "The Neurotic Gourmet," for this weekly neighborhood paper (circ. 30,000). Also wrote high concept restaurant review, "Literary Morsels," monthly, reviewing local restaurants in literary voice (e.g., d'Bronx deli reviewed in the voice and meter of Allen Ginsberg's "Howl," or the Jerusalem Cafe in the voice of Rudyard Kipling). A little too esoteric for its readership, nonetheless, a fun and challenging experiment.
