Centerstage is the indefinable.

S1N FIST3D, a dancer like none you've seen before, and one you're not likely to forget. The muliti-tattooed, mohawked babe isn't selling all-American porn, sex, or anything even close. S1n is what happens when your biggest fantasy meets your worst nightmare. Our reaction? Well, we put her on our cover, didn't we? "I was 18 years old when I started dancing,"

S1n explains. "I started one week before Valentine's Day. So this (Private Dancer Magazine) issue is means a lot to me, because it marks my 8 year anniversary of being a performer."

S1n's 15 tattoos include a Harlequin on her left calf, a zombie hand on her spine, stitches on both wrists and doll hinges on both arms. Her shows are mesmerizing displays of physical agility and aggressive, in-your-face sexuality. We wanted to know how the typical male strip club patron reacts to her unconventional stage shows.

"Some men are scared of me, and some are fascinated," she explains. "but women LOVE me because of the fact that I'm different. Most people have a hard time approaching me. They don't realize that I'm more scared of them than they are of me." Originally from San Jose, S1n knew from an early age that she was different and that a typical 9-5 job was not her destiny.

"Martial artists have always inspired me," she says. "I know it sounds corny but I get inspired a lot from Jackie Chan. And weirdly enough, he's inspired by dancers. He makes the hardest things look simple, graceful and beautiful, so I apply that grace to the stage." When she isn't dancing, S1n models for clothing companies and budding artists and photographers. She also designs her own clothing line, and is a go-go dancer for live bands.

My biggest gig was with Danzig," she says. S1n has also been featured in music videos such as Black Label society's Suicide Messiah and MTV2's Headbanger's Ball. "I want to be a legend, someone who is known for changing stripping as we know it today," she confesses. "There's more on the stage than just tits and ass.

There's TALENT, and I prove that." Rock star bravado aside, S1n does have the skills to back up her claims. (Case in point: S1n was the winner of the 2005 Exotic Dancer Showdown at last year's Erotica L.A.) She may well be remembered as a unique creature who wandered into the Industry and somehow made it her own.

Sin clearly doesn't adapt to other people's rules -- she makes them adapt to hers. And you can't argue with her obvious success. "One day, I would love to be able to own my own strip club," she says. "Not just to manage it, but to work there as well. Being an entertainer is part of who i am, and it would be hard for me to give it up. I won't stop until my body completely shuts down on me.

" For girls just entering the business, or for those who want to improve their skills, S1n has a few words of caution. "Leave all of your issues at the door -- otherwise, it will effect your work," she claims.

"Have confidence, take it one step at a time, and for God's sake: point your fuckin' toes." She goes on, "Pole tricks and flexibility don't happen overnight. This is an ART. I've seen new dancers hit the stage, trying everything they possibly can and they look like a train-wreck.

Rehearse your shit before getting up there." You can catch S1n's show at Cheetahs every Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday night.
