The Day My (selfie super) Powers Arrived

Who's a Super Hero? Shh.... Me!

Asraiya as Marvel comics character Polaris from X Men, complete with hair bleached and dyed green, on set with Cosmic Reach Media for shooting the music video for Kirby Krackle's song "The Day My Powers Arrived" seen below. Photo credit: Garrett Gibbons.


I'd been fighting the urge to be disappointed in the final edit of this video since most of my footage didn't make the final cut but then I realized that's more or less what the songs about so... 
I LOVE IT!!!

More of Kirby Krackle and his unique genre he calls "nerd rock" can be found at http://kirbykracklemusic.com/
On set shenanigans.. I started a selfie bombing trend which became the theme of the whole day and did actually make the final cut of the video so I should probably be proud, lol! 
Me selfie bombing director, Garrett Gibson.. No one was spared not even the 2nd cameraman! More of these on Instagram.

New(ish) Fire Dancing Video that's kinda HOT!

Hot sexy Seattle fire performing artist video

Found this edited video I must have been working on until too exhausted to think straight and then promptly forgot about... so after a year or so "break" from it I rediscovered it and must say, it's not bad! Need to fix the audio at the end there with the SGL sound bleeding in but still not a bad piece of work if I may say so myself. There's room for improvement but hey there's also room for new shows to be recorded so... C'est la vie! Cheers ~


Credits: clips are from Club Heaven filmed by Stan Blacker, crap if I can't remember who filmed the set at Starving Artists on Parade but I'll come back to it.. and Just Sage with his GoPro at Volunteer Park (I was reciting Shakespeare with a very bard-like/caliban accent aka slaughtering it), and Super Geel League show at King Cat Theater.

Special solo performance act @ Seacompression 2015

Asraiya plans to do a never been done before act for this year's Seacompression!


I'm going to attempt to do something special since I don't have a troupe to herd around this year. I'm adding a Burlesque twist to my fire Tristaff solo set to challenge myself and do something different and memorable.. I'm using the song Dance Without You by Skylar Grey and I intend for it to be a very personal statement piece as I do quite literally have pretty extreme claustraphobia or fear of being surrounded and closed in by people causing me to get angry on a dance floor (lyrics) which most likely is in fact the result of being a victim of date rape twice in my teens. 

Here's a fabulous dance scene video from the movie Step Up Revolution to the song:



My Fire Set is tentatively scheduled for 11pm 

and Seacompression is this Saturday Nov. 14th, 2015 happening block party style in Georgetown.
