The project that became the Museum of Moving Art was in development for two and a half years before the idea came to make it a role-playing game, however, the need for theatricality has always been there.

So when it came to name my drag character for MOMA, "Loretta Monetta" came to me: it had a lovely ring to it and I went on to think that the name might serve to homage and parody - in a loving way - Lorri Marie, mixed media artist from Valejo, California. Lorri Marie was like a shining star to me in the way that Bette Midler had been for me in my youth. In many ways she was everything I wanted to be, and her artworks resonated with me so deeply.
