She grew into a performance artist known as Rosie Rimjob, one of the founding members of The Dirty Dishes Burlesque Revue(2009-12). As part of the Revue she collaborated to organize variety burlesque shows and community events. From there, she independently curated and hosted two sultry, bi-monthly burlesque series that brought together performance artists & venues across Portland & Biddeford, ME. Over the years, Rosie grew weary of rimming expectations and put herself to rest... Only to be born of the East End's soft, ocean foam as Amandaconda. Amandaconda can be seen looking cozy, cruising down Congress Street on her FUJI 450SE, contemplating her latest calling: to reinvent the Bond Girl.  Upcoming is the third generation of Naked People Reading, July 7, 2018 at a military fort on Peaks Island. As part of the WONDERWOOD music series, naked readers will share literature that raises awareness around the ecology of the land that this militarized site was erected upon.The mission of Naked People Reading is to provide a platform for people to openly & honestly share through literature, without the obligations of preening or dressing up in order to talk the talk and walk the walk."
