Adria Tennor... ...has her Grandmother to thank for her performing tendencies. When she and her sister were small, her Grandmother would baby sit and teach them George M. Cohan songs and dance numbers she (her Grandmother) had seen on the Lawrence Welk Show. This culminated in full on lip-syncing to the musical soundtrack of Annie and many a Shaun Cassidy record. Adria's parents hoped that she would outgrow her fetish or at least use it to become a good lawyer. When neither happened and New York University's Tisch School for the Arts was the only college to offer her any financial aid, her parents acquiesced and let her move to New York (with the shirtless bums who had beards to their bellies and talked to lamp posts) and follow her dream. Her first role was as a 12-year old boy talking about porn in Tompkins Square Park with an amnesiac in Hal Hartley's movie, Amateur. After that, Adria landed the younger role of "Annie" played by Diane Keaton in The First Wives Club, and the world saw her as a girl again. Tired of being flashed and felt up on the subway, Adria escaped NYC and fled to Los Angeles where she performs her one-woman shows There's Not a Lot of Coat Check Work in LA, Electro Magnetic Stripper, and most notably, StripSearch, inspired by her studies in pole dancing with Sheila Kelley at The S Factor Studio and her wily mischievous alter ego, Ginger Shortcakes. She continues to nab parts in television and film and many a commercial while authoring her next projects: StripSearch, The Movie as well as her memoir: A Single Girl’s Guide to Finding Love & Happiness with a Twelve-Foot Pole. Adria lives in Los Angeles with her restaurateur husband, Claudio Blotta. In 2009 they opened their joint venture barbrix, a wine bar and restaurant in Silver Lake, to rave reviews where diners can enjoy a bite of Adria’s alter ego, Ginger Shortcakes, for dessert and hear how she got her infamous name.
