Yana Nirvana

Look at this photo session we did with Yana Nirvana in October 1983, read what I wrote to accompany the layout!
“Who is this Valkyrie let out of a German mythology comic book? It’s Yana Nirvana doing her takeoff of a female bodybuilder.
Aerobic dancer, stand-up comic, health and fitness writer, bodybuilder … Ms. Nirvana is performing at GIO’S Cabaret in Los Angeles with the L.A. KNOCKERS, the outrageous all girls dance group.
Great shots… of gorgeous Yana Nirvana… and she still looks the same!

excerpt from “The Philosopher’s Daughter”
Joan introduced me to Yana, a tall muscular Swedish-looking ballet student. Yana dropped her front tooth to make people laugh. Students were enthralled with this striking, five foot eleven, pack of dynamite. Her heritage was Danish with a splash of Mexican, she said. Her short red hair cut like a boy resembled David Bowie. She created her own wacky version of street dance and became one of my assistants.
