Rollin' on the river... Faux Tina finds her calling on Prytania

Hollie Vest, famed Tina Turner impersonator and entertainer, relocated from Las Vegas to New Orleans recently to add B&B operator and historic mansion preservationist to her fascinating résumé. Life has gone swimmingly ever since.

By Chris Rose - Staff writer/The Times-Picayune
One of my favorite topics of discussion is the Muse at work in New Orleans, that intangible and undefinable allure this city holds for entertainers, and creative people generally.

I love the stories of New England bankers who chuck it all to come here and open an art gallery (Jonathan Ferrara), or former sitcom stars who ditch Beverly Hills to open curio shops in the French Quarter (Harry Anderson), or rock stars who come to soak in the hot, mystical vibe and create new sounds and stories (a list too long to mention).
