Born Pookie Snackenbush in Petaluma, Pookie was a happy child. When Pookie was eight, she accidently walked in on her father, Brother Erectous, and her mother, Sister Fu Ki Ewe, having a moment in the laundry room at the Holy Cloister of Doundous Onneesous. Having enjoyed what she saw Pookie changed her name right there and Atopa was born. Atopa graduated at San Torem High School, home of the San Torem Devils, afterwards she started working as a roller skating car hop nun at Father How Art Thou Burger. It was at the time of Atopa’s first pregnancy that the other sisters at the burger shop asked Atopa to retire her skates as it wasn’t fair that Atopa got to be pregnant and the others didn’t (Atopa actually had six children in all. They were all adopted by a nice Mormon family in Provo, Utah with the explicit instructions that they all have a name change and extensive cosmetic dental work.).

During the 1970's and 80's, Atopa worked her way from one stripper pole to the next ending up in Hollywood, where she earned the title of Keeper of the Dirty Habits. Here in Hollywood she found work as spokeswoman for Got Twat, inc, makers of Tasty Fresh, flavored feminine deodorant.

In time Atopa turned her back on Hollywood after she couldn’t get time on the casting couch anymore and moved her dirty habits to Seattle where she became a member of the dance troupe, The VisQueens. After working the streets for five years and the depletion of her lifetime supply of Tasty Fresh, Atopa was advised to move to a drier climate to help clear up her "problem" and Atopa arrived in Phoenix!
