Her show—entitled My Show—and her inconsistent, off-tone singing of popular 1980s hits earned her a moderate degree of Internet celebrity in the late 2000s when Prill's work was uploaded onto the Internet.[1] CareerIn the late 1980s, Prill started her first show on Jones Intercable channel 12 in Tampa. The show, simply titled My Show, was a showcase of her singing talents, featuring music videos of Prill singing popular songs of the time and some attempts at comedy.[2] She would also do the sign-off of channel 12 by singing "The Star-Spangled Banner" in front of a superimposed American flag, hugging herself and pretending to move in slow motion.[1] On October 16, 1992 she performed at the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center starring in her own event called Sultry Sondra: A Musical Fantasy.[3] At a price of $50 a ticket (double the rate established stars Al Green and Patti Labelle had charged at the same venue),[2] 41 paying attendees came to see her;[3] the official head count put the number of people in attendance closer to 70, with the vice president of marketing for the center concluding, "She might have comped some folks." [1] A reviewer considered that Prill set a new record for "the most abysmal entertainment event to ever take place in the Tampa area", and described her "unique way of handling a melody - a cross between the dulcet sound of setting one's hair on fire and sticking one's hand into a garbage disposal."[3] At the finale of the show, Prill had honey poured all over her,[3] in what seemed to be a literal interpretation of the lyrics to what she believed would be her breakthrough song, "Oh, You Sexpot Honey." [1] Prill wanted to do the finale nude, but the performing arts center required her to wear a body stocking. Brinson M. Harris, a remote producer for the event, said, "A backup singer walked out from backstage to say good night and to apologize to the audience."[1] Prill's honey-pouring event was videotaped for public-access television, but Prill and her mother are believed to have destroyed the tapes before they made it to air.[1] Three episodes of My Show survive.[2] An attempt to locate Prill in 2007 was unsuccessful.[1] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 {{cite |title=The Cult Of Sondra |accessdate=2007-02-06 |last=Williams |first=Greg |authorlink= |coauthors= |date=February 6, 2007|url=http://www.tbo.com/life/MGBVMUYJTXE.html|work=The Tampa Tribune |publisher= Media General Inc. |pages= |language= |archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20070402222921/http://www.tbo.com/life/MGBVMUYJTXE.html|archivedate=April 2, 2007 |quote= }} {{DEFAULTSORT:Prill, Sondra}}2. ^1 2 Williams, Eric (December 4, 2003). 365 Days Project: #338.
