Rev. Jen Miller writes the "Diary of an Art Star" column for Artnet and wrote the "I Did It for Science" column for nerve.com for two years. She is also the host of the Anti-Slam on Manhattan's Lower East Side, an open mike that ran for twelve years, until fall 2007. She is the author of "Reverend Jen's Really Cool Neighborhood", a writer for Toxic Pop, founder of the Troll Museum and star and writer of The Adventures of Electra Elf and Fluffer, a low budget cable access television show produced by Nick Zedd (aired only in parts of New York, Atlanta and New Hampshire; however, episodes can be seen on the internet from the show's website) about a superhero and her sidekick dog (played by her chihuahua, Rev. Jen, Jr. Andrew J. Lederer, Francis McNerdz and Faceboy are the other regulars.) She played "Tina, the script girl" in the Troma movie Terror Firmer and "The Elf Queen" in Lord of the Cockrings, which she also wrote. Her handmade books are collected by The Whitney Museum of American Art.
Reverend Jen coined the phrase "Art Star," which denotes an eclectic movement of performers, artists, poets, and other individuals centered around the Lower East Side. She is the founder of A.S.S. Magazine (Art Star Scene Magazine) which is devoted to promoting musicians, artists, poets, etc through art. She is also the music video director for singer Moby's single New York, New York (which she appears in as well). At the end of the video, Moby is seen kissing Rev. Jen, Jr.[1]
Reverend Jen is currently writing a new book.
