Hi Everyone,
Since this is the "where are they now" section, I thought I would check in and give you an update on a band that I was in called "Voice Of The Beehive" and ask for a small favor of any Beehive fans that might be reading this.
I was in a band during the 80’s and 90’s with my sister Tracey called Voice Of The Beehive. We had a tiny bit of fame for a few minutes and recorded 3 albums and 14 videos. After the recording the 3rd album the band broke up and my sister and I returned to California. Both of us live in Laguna Beach. I am a fairy / doll designer and have a storefront at one of the major art festivals here in Laguna Beach. My sister Tracey has become a school teacher and teaches alphabet art to kids but still likes to write songs. We did a reunion tour in 2003 in the UK and opened for The Wonder Stuff. There is a slight possibility that we may tour in the US next summer. We have a myspace site and another "official" website that a dedicated fan has put together for us - nothing is sold there - it's just info about what's going on in the hive.
When I was on tour in Australia I met a fairy and my life changed forever. I’ve become a huge fan of fantasy and fairies and have been creating my own fairies out of clay and porcelain since 1998. A friend of mine has bugged me for 10 years to build a website. I finally gave in and let them build an online home for my creations. Then they encouraged me to enter into an online “American Idol” type contest that Yahoo and Ivanka Trump are currently running for small business owners. The contest started with over 9000 people and is down to 5. Yahoo produced a video of each finalist which people on the internet can watch and then vote for. Yahoo was looking for small and quirky business owners and I certainly qualify there. You can watch the video they put together of me and my fairies – PLUS, if your a Beehive fan and think my fairies are interesting you could even cast a vote or two for me. I would love to win this contest. The other 4 companies produce manufactured type stuff which isn’t bad but I make everything by hand in my studio where I create trolls, fairies, goblins, and pixies and every piece is unique made with vintage fabric from the 40's, fabric from stage costumes I wore, and various colored crystals.
Check out the video and tell me what you think (don’t forget to vote!!) You can vote once a day between now and June 24th. You can email me through my website at Made In Heaven By Missy.
