Hello everyone,

Do you remember Kevin as a dancer whom Seiko once worked with
in the Glorious Revolution concert tour in 1994?

I found something about him on the following site where he also mentioned Seiko briefly...

What do you think of Kevin there?

>>Kevin wrote: well...... after finishing the movie, I started working with Michael Jackson as Asst.

>>Abdul)....oh, a couple gigs with Cece Peniston too, Snap and Carmen Electra (back in the Prince days,
>>pre-Baywatch). I ended up working 'with' Prince for two years off and on (he hardly ever announced he was

>>oddly enough in Armageddon as a Japanese tourist in a NY taxi almost getting blown away by a meteor.
>>Anyways, I also sang on tour and started to learn to play drums. When I got back I did 'Showgirls' as 'Daryl'--
>>scary movie, scary role, scary dialogue-- please don't watch too closely if you do see it... afetr which I did
>>'The Bird Cage', as 'Yummee' (yes, in drag---check out the S+M heels, even MORE scary)... and then took off

>>Madonna) , where we suddenly became impromptu TV stars (fan club, record contract, the whole bit)-- BUT
>>I'm back now, because we are trying to do our thing here in the States first--- soooo, myself Luca and our 3rd

>>over for an American market--- there's lots more but just ask if you want to hear any specifics... oh, I also

>>The last I saw Michael Goorgian, he was buying my video camera to try his hand at directing... which is
