Just who are The Two Victorias  aka Vik & Tori?

Welcome to our website.  I am Tori and she is Vik, but we are both Victoria (which is complicated and pretty crazy at the same time!) We even blogged about it here.

I am from Scotland, went to posh school, I used to be married ...to a man...for 17 years. I am a mother of 4 daughters, a real sister, and a sister in the LGBTQ sense of the word.  I am a writer. I love a wee sing now and then (though nothing like Vik - she is the real deal!), I am a Product Manager for the inflight entertainment industry, a former traffic and news reporter and lots of other things too.

Now over to my 'sister'. Take it away the other Victoria.

Hi all!  Vik here, now, in italics.  Ah two Victorias - yes, that "best" friend/same name dream has come true!  Except I've always dreamed of my future wife taking my last name.  For as long as I can remember,  I never ever ever wanted to take someone else's last name.  And so now, fast forward 20 years, Tori and I are seriously thinking of getting married.  AND, of course, I want her to take my last name. But c'mon, could we really pull that off - Imagine, not only Two Victorias but two Victoria McGinnis-es!

As for me, I am a jazz singer.  My dad was a big band leader & drummer.  I mean, c'mon, my mom said I kicked in rhythm in her womb!  My earliest memory of performing is singing on stage at the Empire State Building's "Riverboat Room," where my dad played 5 nights week.  I was three.  Been singing ever since.
But it's a tough living (cue the violin playing "Brother Can You Spare A Dime"). I had to figure out a supplemental career but still be happy and creative.  I fell into the world of TV and corporate video editing - that's a crazy, ridiculous story - more to come on that later on.  But for now, suffice it to say that I'm in production - producing, directing, editing AND still singing my ass off!
I live in both NY and CA. Both coasts. 
Two careers, Two Coasts, Two Victorias!
