Cherry Capri (born 1969) is a quirky red-haired American pop-culture icon, author and performance artist whose work explores and celebrates Mid Century Modern style, healthy homemaking and manners. The image she portrays is an eccentric Auntie Mame mixed with a little Mary Poppins. She has been called "a mix between Martha Stewart and Pee Wee Herman". She has also been called "America's Mistress of Modernism, Manners & Mirth."
Over the years, Cherry has supported various charitable organizations through performances and appearances, including the Los Angeles Conservancy Modern Committee, Palm Springs Modern Committee and Lightbringer Project. In 2004, Cherry was crowned the queen of the Pasadena Doo Dah Parade.
As a performer, Cherry has headlined three Mondo Lounge weekenders and the Mondo Tiki event at the Las Vegas Hard Rock Hotel. She has sung at Tiki Oasis and tiki clubs across the country. In 2005, she was a featured performer in the cult classic movie by Tony Marsico Camp Burlesque. Cherry has made appearances on television talk shows including The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
In 2006 she was featured on the full-length album Creamy Cocktails & Other Delights with a cover that paid a fun homage to the classic album cover Whipped Cream and Other Delights by Herb Alpert. Her title song from this album was included as the main anthem in the same-sex marriage rights movie, I Want to Get Married. In 2007, she was approached to star in a MidMod home-improvement lifestyle show called Lotta Living based on the website of the same name. The series ultimately failed to progress past development stages. In 2016 she is currently being considered for a children's television show reprising a Fred Rogers-style lead in an updated version of Mr. Roger's Neighborhood.
