Cranford NJ Street Fair Performance

Sunday May 6, 2012, I was able to perform at the Cranford Street Fair and Craft Show. This was a huge event with so many people. There were venders, car show displays, wine tasting and other various activities. I felt so proud and honored to be a part of such a massive and spectacular event. My mother come out with me and we were later joined by my brother and his wife. We caught the bus then the Raritan train to Cranford. The 31 Bus ride downtown was awesome. I received so much love and blessings all the way down. It almost brought a tear to my eye. People were saying how I made their morning better just by seeing me in costume. The bus driver even told people to greet me. When they did, it was all surprises and smiles. When we arrived at Penn Station for the train, people stared mesmerized by my striking resemblance to the King of Pop. Then we boarded the train. Three stops away was going to be one of my most memerable adventures as Michael Jackson. With Joanie the owner of Joanie's Cafe We arrived in Cranford, NJ, seeing all of the people and festivities going on. People were shocked to see my presence. We stopped by a cafe, Joanie's Cafe, to have breakfast. They were glad to see me there dressed as Michael, especially the owner, Joanie. She gave me a shout-out over the megaphone during their daly bingo game. They were great people and the food was delicious as well. Performing After taking numerous photos and greeting people, it was time to give them my all. I danced to a megamix I downloaded a few years ago. I wore my new silver and black outfit from the "Bad" tour. i interacted with the crowd and had so much fun. People saw how much dedication I put into my performance. I was also asked to do an encore performance moments later. I was super excited. The crowd loved me and I definitely felt Michael's spirit. My family was definitely proud of me and happy that I performed so well. With Darry Walker from Office of Street Fairs We all decided to walk around and enjoy more of the fair. I took more photos with people along the way. I even did a quick dance for New Jersey 101.5 Radio station. They gave me two tickets to see the Broadway musical "My Sinatra." Overall, I met so many wonderful people and cute children. I definitely want to thank Darryl Walker and the Street Fairs organization for giving me the opportunity to spread Michael Jackson love.

Art, Peace and Music Festival 2011

Yesterday I had the chance to perform officially as "Mikette" for the first time in my hometown, Newark, NJ, for the 1st Annual Art, Peace and Music Festival. I wasn't intending on performing but given the opportunity, I jumped to it. I was definitely excited to show Newark my love and appreciation for Michael Jackson.




My boyfriend, Richie, and I set out on this adventure. We arrived at Washington Park and I was the only one in a costume. Of course, I was the alittle embarassed, but I got over it. People were waving at me and I made people smile just by being there. Then we decided to get something to eat while we waited for my friend, Lamar. He's the MJ dancer I met at NJPAC this past September. After we ate, we decided to make one last round around the festival to see if we saw him, but ran into the event coordinator. He asked me if I could dance like Michael and I was like "Of course!" Not realizing he was the event coordinator and he was about to put me on stage.






I was introduced to the audience as "Mikette." As I began to perform, it felt as if Michael's spirit jumped inside of my body and took over me. The music blasted "Billie Jean" and I became "Mikette." I gave them my all and they enjoyed me. Then Lamar came out and performed "Another Part of Me." Then he brought me back out with him to finalize the performance and we did an amazing job. I definitely enjoyed myself and the audience was mesmerized by our dance moves.



I was so happy I was able to help out the show by filling in a gap due to a performer not being available and gave a memerable performance. The festival in general was wonderful. They had fashion shows, spoken word poetry, singing and dancing. There were sculptures around as well from different artists in the Newark area. Marching bands that participated in the parade before the festival performed as well. It was such a beautiful event and I was glad I was not only there but a part of it as well.

Here are some photos from the day.
