YOUR FEATURED LUCENT DOSSIER PERFORMER IS...

JADE MANGIAFICO-GREENSBERG

Lucent Title: Fire Guru and Locator of all things lucent

Super Mad Lucent Skills: Fire dancer extraordinary, prop prince and random roaming rascal.

Hidden Talents: Jazz singer and budding scat man.

Hometown: Dexter, Oregon.

Years in LA: 4.

What did i want to be when i was 6: mathematician.

When I was 14 years:  gorilla street performer ( doin it!)...

Favorite book:  can't do just one.. "Drifters" by James Michener for my adventuresome side, "it's here now, are you?" Bhagavan Das for my spiritual side...

Favorite word: YES...

in my bedroom you will find pictures of my family, a closet full of costumes and my alter full of oddities from my travels...

My hero would have to be my deceased godfather/adopted grandfather Silver. he taught me to always treat life as theater while living it to the fullest, to stand up for what you believe in and to commit many random acts of creativity and compassion...

My motto: "the one who says it can't be done shouldn't stop the one who's doing it"...

Pets: i've got one succulent plant.. thats about all i care to handle right now...

I've had the same reoccurring dream my whole life of being an owl so i'm fairly sure that i was an owl before this life. i  do believe that we all have had many past lives...

The thought of living a boring life full of nothing is the only thing that scares me. i want to always be doing something fun and creative till my last breath...

I've always really got off on random building/art projects. and i'm really addicted to garage/thrift shopping...

If i could meet anyone dead or alive- that's really hard. Near the top would have to be John Lennon.. I would ask him about being a pioneer in the music/psychedelic/peace movement. He was so pivotal in the cultural change that has hugely influenced my life...

I try to stay unattached to "things", but i do try to collect a rock or shell from all of my travels..i probably have over a hundred on my alter from all over the world...

Mainly i speak to my own inner guide. but sometimes i am called to be active in  ceremonies in which i will speak to various native spirits. i find it comforting to share my thoughts and ideas with the universe...

If i could come back in the next lifetime it would have to be a hawk. i've always felt the desire to be able to fly...

Do i believe in life on other planets?  I honestly don't spend very much time thinking about this concept. I fully believe that we are not alone and i'm sure there are other entities out there. but their existence doesn't directly alter my daily operations.. I do hope we get some contact from them soon so humanity can move on to focusing of more pertinent issues...

To me god is everything positive, it is the love you have in your heart, the drive that makes you strive to do good..i believe he/she/it is faceless. Overall god is the concept the drives me to be true to myself and my surroundings...

If I had a super power it would have to be flight.. no question about it...

If I had a flavor i would have to taste like... fresh pine needles floating in a mountain stream...

One thing that people don't know about me is that i love classical and opera music. some of my favorite times are when i just get to be alone on a sunny day in my garden listening to the classics.

Being a lucent is... having the freedom to be completely yourself, never having  to feel judged or feeling like you need to change for anyone.

You know you're in lucent when..  you own more make up as a guy than most "normal" girls you know. and every time you dress in drag your friends tell you that that is your 'look". and you forget what clean feet even look like.
