Look at these adorable little slothies representing!
And these fabulous frogs!
Luckily Victoria had Brad to help choose all the flags. Even I, a person living in Berlin and surrounded by an international community of radical young queers, don’t know a lot of the flags.
It’s good to get educated about flags, and it’s good to remember that PRIDE WAS A RIOT and LOVE IS LOVE. Happy Pride!
Amazing performer GodX Noirphiles was a guest on the show and did a fantastic performance. I want you to know Godxxx, who is an enormously popular performer and Mother of drag house House of Living Colors, has lost all expected show income while they are pregnant so—
For fuck’s sake if you can, donate to the Doula Fund for this single trans boi mama!!
Above, my attempt to capture Godxxx’s piece. It was so beautiful and fascinating to try and draw a piece that had layering and texture and digital glitch, and started black and white and then transformed into color, and I had a great experience! Please check Godxxx’s Drag King Don’t Rush challenge, you will faint. Godxxx aka Adrian Blount is doing a Youtube series on Queer Birthing!
EDIT Jan 2120: GodXXXNoirphiles has a Patreon and you can support their art and the Queer Birthing series, which is a radical and historic project.
And you can give funds to help their baby have a lush nursery right here.
Then, I popped over to The Velvet Creepers’ livestream!
Here’s Nana Schewitz guest hosting with Fifi Fantôme of the Velvet Creepers ! Fifi Fantôme is very active during quarantine and you can check out her Insta for when she is teaching and check out her Patreon for performance tips, art and treats! I don’t know why Fifi and Nana had heads on sticks but I liked the heads on sticks.
And Lilly Mortis was a poignant, creepy vintage clown.
I am so grateful to my Patrons on Patreon, whose monthly financial support lets me keep documenting Berlin’s queer performers and release the art free to all, while I work safely at home.
