Sandelle Herbert Kincaid

From La Jolla, California, Sandelle came to San Francisco at age 17 and was soon performing in theatrical productions for Chuck Solomon and Lea DeLaria at Studio Rhino and 544 Natoma. She was introduced to the Sluts by Marc Huestis when he cast her in his beatnik musical soap opera Naked Brunch. A cisgender woman with natural beauty and a passion for punk rock and the underground scene, she became a featured performer with the Sluts throughout their run, choreographing dances with Tippi for Happy Hour and Nightclub of the Living Dead, and acting in The Bad Seed and The Balcony. She and Miss X became lovers, which created a good natured “controversy’ within the group and fueled some backstage tension between the couple and Doris Fish, who nicknamed her “Scandal Sherbet.” Nevertheless, she graciously took Sandelle under her wing and after the “Who Does That Bitch Think She Is?” benefit, Doris gave her the gold-sequined dress she wore in the show. Honored to have been dance partners with the inimitable Tippi, she performed a moving tribute to her at the Vegas In Space premiere after-party. She is now an English teacher and lives in Southern California with her husband and son.
