SPREAD EAGLE AND FLYING

NEW YORK,NY

It's a cold day at a photographer's studio in Tribeca, New York. Artist Lucresia Linton is bringing on the heat, spread-eagled on a white mattress. "Damn, it's cold in here!" she exclaims. In moments, her face quickly moves from slight irritation to vixenish demure. She says coyly, "Can you see my nipple imprint?"
"Yes," I sigh. As any good natured gay man would sigh.
"Good! That will give them something to chew on…or at least they could go an-"
"My dear! …You have changed!"
"Yeah…I got thicker…," her voice trails off.
"…skinned?"
"No…just plain-ass thicker" she laughs.
I remember Ms. Linton (Trust me kids in the next few months you will see why she deserves instant RESPECT!) as a struggling artist trying to make her mark in the world. However, I must point out that no matter how bad it got or how close she was threading on "brokedom" Lucresia was always and I mean always fierce on her dressing, style and demeanor!
"I always felt different. And I have always known that there was some reason for my difference and that one day it would become recognized." she says. "I remember when I was 16 years old and I was struggling with my weight and I was at the mirror begging, no pleading with GOD to help me lose weight. And I remember hearing back, that "you have a social message to bring forth to the world…and that, it will come across more effective if you are the size you are!"
"Boy that's a lot!" I say.
"She's a woman of many words," states Lucresia dryly.
The one thing that I like about the girl is how candidly she speaks about her size. While most artists who are curvaceous talk about themselves in a self-depreciating way, Lucresia Linton expresses herself confidently and with love.
"I'm not going to lie to you, pardon the pun (remember folks she is doing an interview on her back in a bed) that it took me a short time to achieve this inner peace," she says. "I still struggle inside, but I definitely have a firm stance of who I am and what I have to offer."
Being young Lucresia feels that she can relate to her fans on any topic. However, she feels that she is always ahead of the game of life (that artist has a daughter from a previous relationship).
She proclaims, "Honey! I have the ability to walk the walk and talk the talk! " she continues," I don't want to be just an artist who is there to look good and to talk about their views in a masked sort of way. I have seen a lot. Hopefully in some way I can help people whether it be with self-confidence issues or provide music business information. I feel strongly that my actions are as equally impressive with what I got to say."
And her actions are impressive indeed! In her struggling days, Lucresia always knew that she had her vocal style down, but in order to survive in the music game she knew that she had to brush up on her business savvy. Her songs display a much more than a poignant dialogue of Ms. Linton's trump cards she dealt in her love life. You can actually hear the coyness of her dalliances to the much-earned wisdom that she gained from the experiences.
Lucresia recalls, " I wanted to give myself a chance to wear different hats, but mostly the more I read about the business the more I realized how low on the totem pole an artist really is within the record company. “
"Why?"I ask (Lucresia is being asked to turn over. So she doesn't want anyone looking in case the sheet slips). So what would any gentleman do in this case? I turn around and SLIP A QUICK PEEK!
"GIRL! YOU GOT YOURSELF SOME BACK!" I scream.
"Trust me honey, YOU may be able to bounce a quarter off of Jennifer Lopez's butt, however, bounce one off of my ass and it will bring back some change!"
