Calor y Caliente! In Praise of Hot Girl!
NamasteSussreekal…..Hola! Can I tell you, My Dearest Beautiful People, I LOVE you guys! How nice are you??? Wow! I am sending you all my most positive energy and general wonderful wishes, and please know how happy I am, everyday, to be blessed with your friendship. How CUTE are you with your heartfelt offers of bringing me “supplies” to the show dates!!!
You RULE! :D
Darling Peeps, I’m PATHETICALLY attatched, aint I? Hahaha! (See photo above: the sole contents of my care package from my Loving Mother!!!)
Sugarfree Dentyne Cinnamon Blast.
Krishna help me!!!! I am ENSLAVED!
(Though the oral fixation has helped me survive stress for many years!)
Okay…drawing ever nearer, is the (biting nails) TOOOOUUUUURRRRRR commencement. I feel more healthy and stronger everyday!! My surgery is becoming a memory as I finally was able to attempt returning to my core-training. Actually did incline crunches yesterday!!! Whoohoo!! (I need that tummy strong to support my diaphram/abdomen whilst singin’) I’m sooooo encouraged!
But, get this: I’m HOT! Noooooo! Not THAT way! I mean, I’m “Hot Flashing” all the time (due to surgery taking away any possibility of poisonous-to-moi-dreaded-estrogen) its sooooooo weird! (And, to a little geek like me: fascinating!) I will be like, simply standin in the bank line, or sitting at the table, or nothing but reading, and its like- WHOOSH! WETSWEATHOTHOTHOT all of a sudden like God lit me on fire. Out of nowhere. Then it stops after, say three minutes (or two or ten or five or seven) and I get chilled (due to the rapid-disrobing that ensues during flash).
And I’m thinkin: WHAT IF THAT HAPPENS ON STAGE when I’m already havin near-heatstroke from the ROCK?!!!!! Hahahaha! Sad TMI fact: I will likely just TELL everyone (cause we are all pals).
Plus when I wake up (yes, still sucking at that, too: I wake up at approx 3am still..give or take 20min) I am DRENCHED most likely from those Hotamaleflashes in my sleep! Sheesh! Wonder what THAT will be like in a tourbus??? Hahahhaha!
Those poor boys!
I have to laugh. It will definately be a whole new learning curve.
I can’t WAIT to see you guys!
Man! Its gonna be fun!
I hope everyone has a beautiful week! I am doing my VO2 treadmill test this week, as well as my strength testing and I am STOKED! Added five lbs to all weighted excersise already so I just know I’m gonna surpass my tests that they did a year ago!!!
I will try to get photos of said. :)
Be well and go for a walk. Look at the trees. Smell the air (even if you are in HK or NewYork or Mexico City) feel empowered and good and know that we are all in it together. Om Nama Shivaya.
I’m so glad. :)
Wouldn’t want to go it alone. Xo
Blessings and Infinite bliss to you all,
Love,
Biffy

Have a great tour! You will need some gum to get you through that. Gum is a must!

All of us gals will experience hot flashes eventually. It’s all good!
Bif, you’re an inspiration to me. It’s funny when I read the note you wrote me on that photo you sent and you said I was an inspirational athlete because I probably got into fitness cuz of you! And for that – Thanks! :)
Today I did some sprints, and some squats. I’m trying to challenge myself all the time. I was at a plateau for a very long time where my strength just stayed the same. Keep lifting heavy and kicking ass! *flex*

Bif,
Your energy is so rockin’ and contagious.
I just adore the shit out of you – and your work.
All the best for today – and always……….

YEAH BIFFER!!!
So much happiness when I see a new post!! So motivated from you increasing your weights that I went running at lunch!! Ever since i had an allergic reaction 2 months ago, I get soaked now from cardio WTF!! So if I you are drenched onstage I will start running on the spot so you aren’t alone! Your Mom is a gem for sending you gum btw!!
So excited for this tour!!! Rounded up a group of all-stars for the Stoon show! I always try to bring someone new to your show but managed to get 5 newbies coming! My Sister was suppose to spend that weekend with me here in Edmonton but when I texted her that you were playing Stoon she said “Fuck yeah Sister! Bif tours, we tour!”
Have a super week Biffer! Kickass on your workouts and the VO2!!
Take care,
Liza =)

Hey Bif;
I hear ya! Thanks to icky chemo/radiotherapy treatment for my uterine/cervical cancer, my ovaries got fried (although I still have them; they are as useless as dried up prunes! haha) and I started to get those damned hot flushes during my treatment.
However, I can tell you; when you work out and eat right (which I know you do ;)) they DO lessen after a while. It’s just they are more severe for us ‘younger women” cuz we aren’t in the menopause naturally :(.
However, I find I don’t even get them when I’m doing my Yoga or riding my horse. It’s usually just when I’m standing or sitting around.
Yours will be severe now, but don’t worry, when you’re working it on stage and getting hot anyway, you shouldn’t notice ;).
Good luck and see you in London!! :) xoxo

Hey Biff! Looking forward to hearing you live! Love your new CD! I hope all your tours go well and don’t worry about sweating on stage, just watch one of Robyn Williams stand up performances on YouTube, He sweats a lot!! Plus bright lights on stage will be enough to make anyone sweat. Hot Flashes suck, I went through surgeries myself and the side effects aren’t very fun. But the Raw food diet really helped me get on track. I had my last surgery last July so now I’m still detoxing out the drug that put me under ( I would say the name but I can’t spell it). So it takes time, but the Raw food is the way!! Have you tried Green Smoothies? They kick butt!! As long as I don’t over do it. You know, the whole detox thing…So just think in a few years now you’ll be looking back on this and saying, wow, all I remember is that kick ass tour I had!! Oh, and don’t forget to do a show in Vancouver!!!! I just moved here and I am Loving every minute of it!! Weee!! Thanks Bif for making us all feel like we are in your circle!
Yeppee Summer is on its way!!
Happy Journeys & blessings!
Peace Out! :)

Bif,
I am so glad to hear you’re doing so well. It gives me hope and strength to fight through my own health battle.
I’ve been chronically ill most of my life. I have a myriad of health problems, nearly all of which are autoimmune disorders so basically my immune system is only good at attacking itself. The days I don’t feel like complete and total crap are few and far between, and after a while, it takes a toll on you, not only just your body, but you mind, your spirit, and your soul.
To see you stay positive after all that life has thrown your way makes it easier for me to keep going when all I want to do is just give up. I anxiously await your Twitter updates (I’m DaFooness on there) and new blog posts because I know there’s always going to be something in them that makes me smile and brightens my day.
Thank you for continually being a souce of hope, inspiration, and just all around awesomeness :). Hope you head my way so I can catch you on tour!

Lotsa love

It’s beautiful here today, so the walk sounds great. Of course having said that, it’ll be storming in five minutes, LOL. Good luck with everything Biffy. I hope the hot flashes taper off. I wish I was up there so I’d be around to see ya, bu alas tis not to be at present. Still, we’re all apart of this world, planet, and alive at the same time in history. Hell, we even share the same Birthday though I’m a little younger year wise, so that’s all coolness to me. Take care and, blessed be lady.
