Bif Naked also known as Beth Torbert recently launched her memoir I, Bificus. She is a songwriter and a memoirist at the age of 44. She was born in India, put up for adoption and Missionaries adopted her. Later they moved to Winnipeg. Bif is a former graduate of John Taylor Collegiate. Her stark black hair and tattooed arms make her an icon that no one can forget. She never thought she had anything worthwhile to write and also some of her precious stories didn’t always get published. She loved poetry, acting and dancing. During her teen years she was rebellious and ran away a few times. She lived on the wild side and finally her mother convinced her to see an addictions counsellor.
She is a breast cancer survivor. She firmly believes in the journey and not necessarily the destination. It’s important to carry these words while living your journey and treasuring the memories. Her mindset about developing a positive mental outlook on life despite the hardships one endures along the way amused and engaged an audience. Her life story was told through songs at her sell out concert at the Park Theatre. Her best songs include “I love myself today”,”Spaceman” and “Tango Shoes.” A few times my eyes teared. She was jovial and mentioned several times on stages that she is a romantic.
She once was married to a sports journalist which ended in divorce. However, she said there is someone out there for everyone. Her guitarist who is named Snake proposed to her three years ago and they are getting married in July of 2016 in Vancouver.
