about this month's artists*
*Stay tuned for bios and photos of Ivy, Yazmin, Bay, Antoinette, and Dahlia throughout the month!
That’s What She Said was birthed one rainy night at a sushi restaurant in Little Tokyo, out of the collective womb of five real-life friends. The series is a look at life and love in Los Angeles, and follows the experiences of four lesbians and one straight ally in their adventures in LA – and the LA lesbian scene. Pearl Girl Productions. Watch the first episodes of That's What She Said and check it out on facebook.
Alanna Libbrecht & Ian Perry 
Alanna Wing Libbrecht is 18 years old, fresh out of high school, and excited to spend the next four years of her life at Carnegie Mellon University, where she'll be studying Mechanical Engineering. During the Spring Break of her 11th grade year, she decided that it was finally time to actually learn to play an instrument, so she bought the cheapest ukulele she could find and has been attempting to play it ever since. Alanna came out when she was 14 year old and identifies as pansexual, though she would like to add that "I'm Alanna and I date who I want!" is a better description of her sexual orientation.
Ian Richard Perry is also 18, also fresh out of high school, and also excited for the possibilities that lie ahead in the College of Creative studies at UC Santa Barbara. Ian plays both the guitar and the ukulele and has been very successfully self-taught for the past couple of years, though he would be too modest to say so. Ian is a FTM transgender man. He also identifies as pansexual.
As a pair, Ian and Alanna have been playing and singing together in the various living rooms available to them, as well as on the occasional beach or schoolyard bench, for close to two years. They have performed at the last two Arts Festivals at their high school, as well as during their own graduation ceremony. They are now honored to be taking the stage at this month's OUTspoken open mic session.
