RIP Heather MacAllister 
Heather MacAllister died on February 13, 2007, in Portland, Oregon, after a 3-year battle with ovarian cancer. She was 38 years old. Ms. MacAllister was the founder and artistic director of Big Burlesque and the Fat Bottom Revue, the first burlesque act exclusively featuring large-sized performers. Tours included New York, SanFrancisco, Canada, Los Angeles and various venues in the Midwest, eastand west coasts. Aside from her career in the performing arts, Ms. MacAllister had a degree in anthropology and worked for many non-profit groups such as Triangle Foundation, Michigan's statewide civil rights organization for the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender population. She also committed a great deal of time to anti-racism training. In 2005 Leonard Nimoy photographed Ms. MacAllister and her dance troupe for his exhibit "Maximum Beauty," which opened at the Bonni Benrubi gallery on 57th street in New York City. (if you look at the one where they are clothed, Heather is on the right)

In closing, here are Heather's last wishes:
"Please remember to love each other, and to love ourselves. Take care of our minds and bodies, without fail and against all odds. And know, beyond doubt, that we are all beautiful, amazing beings. Never forget. This is what I lived for. Take care of yourselves, you beautiful beings."
