Upcoming show: Texas Queerlesque Festival 2017

Hey, I'm back!  I didn't mean to disappear, but I went on vacation and had the time to rethink how I wanted to do this blog.  Rather than recapping events, I want to write about different subjects and how they affect my art.  Naturally you'll still hear about my experiences with various shows, and I will return to look back at some of the more unique ones from back in the fall.  However, I want to get to the good stuff about my struggles with body image, the importance of queer and POC representation, and the intersection of fandom with burlesque... just to name a few.

I already have a lot to say not just from previous ideas, but also a recent series of Tweets by #NotMyPresident .  I'm going to wait because I sliced my thumb in lab a couple of days ago, which put a roadblock in preparations for the Texas Queerlesque Festival, and because my TXQF act has become a statement about gender norms through a military video game character.

In the meantime, please check out this article which features Mad Max Morrison, whom I met at the festival last year: "Transgender service members in Texas react to Trump's military ban".  He's performing this Saturday while I'll be in the Friday show.  I hope y'all can join us!  Click here for tickets to the shows and unicorn school.
