My full name is Madame Antoinette Namika Elizabeth Pushca. I was born the bastard love-child to the great French noble, Louis Phillipe Larrieu and my beautiful geisha Mother, Takara. I grew up in Versailles, France in le Châteaux de Débauche; the only Grand House from my father’s Boubon dynasty ancestage to survive the imperial Bonapartist regime of ‘le deuxieme republique’. Here, me and my little sister, Mademoiselle Bambina were privately educated by my Father’s close friend Doctor Renece – a most charming and intelligent London dignitary, who first opened my eyes to a world of paradox, unconventialism and embraced, Rabelaisian seduction.
When I was thirteen I ran away to the Land of The Rising Sun in search of my Mother, Takara. Here, I fell in love with a world of natural beauty, enchanting customs and beautiful people; with whom I would dance, sing an feast with from dawn until dusk. They were happy days which fueled my penchant for traveling.
When I turned nineteen, I moved to the bright lights of London and New York. They were exciting times …. Glittering Disco fever was still in full-swing; while in the exciting new world of Clubs such as Studio 54, Paradise Garage and CBGBs the stylish, punk-injected, make-up fueled New Wave scene threw caution to the wind. I soon discovered a new aliveness, exploring with drugs, bi-sexuality cross-dressing and many other naughty and exciting things for the first time. I went to wild party after wild party every night and made friends with enthralling people, such as Velvet Underground, the ever so gorgeous Debra Harry, The New York Dolls, my former lover, Adam Ant, and those lovely boys, The Cure. It was a magical time and I have stayed in touch with many androgynous New Romantic darlings who still dress up and bring their love to my fabulous parties!
Time moved on, however ….. I continued to travel the world, entertaining Persian Princes and their many wives, Lords and Ladies of every land, beggars, thieves and harlots along the way. A few years later in Chicago and Detroit the wonderful sounds of House Music began to explode …. fresh, exciting sounds that soon became the backdrop to my wonderful social affairs. Away from the acid warehouse environs of the multitude, I sought to gather the finest creators and performers of this House Music in order to entertain the most stylish, cosmopolitan and discerning of my worldly acquaintances in the most exclusive and imaginative settings. With this, Eighteen years ago – “Pushca” was born. Over the past eighteen years I have traveled the world, making friendly acquaintances with fabulous people from every background and culture, imaginable. From the Russian Tzars to Chinese dignitaries in Shangai, American Film Stars to Ibiza legends, these wonderful friends have all leant magical and hospitable welcomes to my beloved, Children of Pushca. I continue to travel the world in search of hedonistic pleasures and the finest hospitality to share with my friends.
