| Penelope Tuesdae was catapulted into nightlife icon status as a teenager in the Big Apple. Having just graduated from a conservatory for music, the former opera singer began producing cabaret shows in Manhattan and immediately won "Best Cabaret" for Flick6ix from New York Magazine. Her award-winning cabaret, The Stereo Show, was the last event at Windows on the World at the World Trade Center. Tuesdae enchanted downtown nightflies with her unique, often scantily clad performances that left photographers and documentary cameras scrambling to capture her on film. Annie Leibovitz selected her for Women, her critically acclaimed photography book. Tuesdae's brilliant marketing schemes and "Un-PC sensibility" had the New York media freaking out about her nightly hijinks. Soon she was jet-setting all over the globe playing notorious DJ sets, building a massive fan base, even landing in jail on public nudity charges in Florida for her "Topless DJ" act. Tuesdae's notoriety secured her a pictorial in Playboy Magazine. When the New York It-Girl landed in Los Angeles to shoot the spread, she decided to make Hollywood her new home. She quickly became "The Top Female DJ in Los Angeles" according to the LA Times. Tuesdae's A-List DJ residencies in Los Angeles include The Dolce Group (Dolce, Geisha House, Les Deux & Bella) and new hot spot Parc. She was resident DJ at Justin Timberlake's now defunct CHI, Tommy Lee's Rok Bar, Concorde, El Centro, Shag, Cinespace, Club Ivar, Spider Club, White Lotus, Basque, Ma'kai, Circle Bar, The Vine Street Lounge and The Standard Hotels, to name a few. Tuesdae frequently DJs at the Playboy Mansion, and is the exclusive DJ for live broadcasts of the Tom Leykis and Adam Corrola shows for 97.1 FreeFM at the Playboy Mansion. She also spins for numerous album release parties and movie premieres in Hollywood. Tuesdae is composing her first musical, Victory: The Rock Opera, with Angus Clark of the Trans Siberian Orchestra. She's also writing her first book, Sucking Deck, which gives insight into the lucrative business of the Female DJ. Tuesdae resides in Los Angeles. Photo: Stefan Falke |
