Sandra "Sandie" Crisp[1] (January 13, 1960 – January 29, 2021), also known by her stage name The Goddess Bunny, was an American entertainer, drag queen, actress, and model.[2]

Crisp was a transgender woman and was born stricken with polio and was subject to the malpractice of multiple doctors resulting in the further disfigurement of her body. She grew up in various foster homes for disabled children. During her childhood, she routinely endured physical and sexual abuse from members of her foster care families largely due to her gender identity and disability.

Biography

Sandie Crisp was born on January 13, 1960. She developed polio as a child and was disabled.[3][4][5][6]

She made her acting debut as Charlean in the 1986 film Hollywood Vice Squad, and made an appearance in the music video for "The Dope Show" by Marilyn Manson.[4]

In 1994, she was the subject of a documentary titled The Goddess Bunny, directed by Nick Bougas.[2][7] In the 2020 United States presidential election Crisp announced her candidacy as a write-in candidate for President of the United States.

After struggling with polio and HIV for most of her life, she died on January 27, 2021, at age 61.[8]

The Obey the Walrus Video

Due to her severe physical deformity, Sandie became the subject of internet notoriety when a scene from the documentary The Goddess Bunny, which featured her tap dancing, was used in Obedece a la morsa[9] (also known as Obey the Walrus), a viral video released in 2005 on eBaum's World[9] and then re-uploaded onto YouTube in 2007.[10][9][11]
