Finally, divas across America—[@lawroach voice] THE WORLD—can have blown up polka dots! And florid floral poplin! And stripes that make the barista call you “babe” when he serves your drink! (Yes, that happened to me.)
Three years later, the brilliance of his taste and core design principles have remained the same. Become sharper and more profound, even!

That I’m able do to my own small part as Social Editor to give him a brighter spotlight to share his joy with you (and you! and you!) makes me so proud.

Chris, I’m forever your squirrel.
Never forget who you are, little star. I’m a constellation of impulses made flesh and bone; a body fashioned from the electromagnetic echo of love I give and receive in return. Even as the universe’s entropy drives us faster and wilder and tries to break us down into smaller pieces of ourselves, we still find ways to reach out across the void and embrace. To expand in each other’s presence.
A hug. A kiss. A fuck. The heart of a star growing rapidly in size before it finally collapses under the weight of so much energy—and where does all that momentum go? Back into the bodies that surround me so lovingly. Not lost to the darkness, merely changed in form for the better. Happy birthday to me.
2025 was a milestone year for me and every mirror on Earth. Give me CONTRAPPOSTO or give me DEATH, tropical wool DOUBLE PLEAT trousers, BRATTY BRASSIERES, midi skirts, MINI SKIRTS (!!!), modern day POIRET stunts, GORPCORE but make it couture, ballerina heels with everything, TABIS with everything ALWAYS, showing FEET but only on FIRE ISLAND or if I’m getting PAID, shopping with CHIC FRIENDS whose TASTE I trust without question, press-on nails if I’m feeling like a real FREAK, that one oversized PEAK LAPEL BLAZER I almost chickened out on buying over Christmas break 2022 because it was $25 at a thrift store in Phoenix but now it’s my most-worn item of clothing apart from my socks and underwear 👁️🗨️❤️
Sometimes there’s this gorgeous thing that happens where you throw a housewarming at your apartment and pretty much everyone you love shows up for you and you get so excited that you burn through all your rolls of film in the first hour even though the party will continue for nearly seven more hours and at the peak over 90 people are inside your home at the same time and their laughter and body heat and tasteful make outs fill every single room with joy and connection and possibility and you feel like every choice you’ve made in your life up to this point has led you here which means you won’t run away like you did the first time you moved to New York because you finally actualized over many years and texts and kisses and parties and fights and friends and lovers and friends-turned-lovers the very thing you’ve desired all along—the one thing that makes you feel like your life is really, really, really worth living: community.
It’s always a pleasure to play dress up for @alexprager , especially when I’m asked to embody a disgraced heiress whose daddy went bankrupt in the Wall Street crash of 1929. Now all I can do is party until the pain stops. More cigarettes! More absinthe! More men on their knees begging for my hand in marriage!
What do Jennifer Lopez, Ben Affleck, David Lynch, Laverne Cox, Bertolt Brecht, and MADAME WEB—the best movie ever made—have in common? My very first piece for @them , of course! I expected to come away from 2025’s KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN as a total hater but… it gagged me! @jlo high kicked my fuck ass bob clean off my noggin. Read it at the 🔗 in my bio 🕷️🕸️
I went deep and spun a 2,300-word web about the second-best movie ever made about a woman who just so happens to be a cunty spider sometimes. It’s a tricky yet revelatory vision of queer possibility that deserves to be adored by generations of theater queens, film freaks, and self-determined dolls to come. After all, goddess worship is just a way to hold up a mirror to the reality of your own becoming. Do you like who you see in the reflection? Or would you rather remain dreaming?
Tipping my pristine white fedora to @ludwighurtado for the commission and @neebess for the ecstatic edits 🖤
Honored, delighted, and just plain excited to have my portrait by @doronlangberg featured in @thearmoryshow —on view until September 7.
There’s nothing quite like being held by, and holding, Doron. A keen observer of faces, places, and worlds yet to be seen who understands my hair is actually kind of green. It’s a gaze I welcome; I like when Doron pulls that signature squint and I get broken down into blobs of color, light, and shadow. A gaze I long to be held by.
In becoming a set of values waiting to be mapped onto canvas, I feel a sense of being valued—truly seen in this really intimate and visceral way—rise within my chest; a sensation like the growing rainstorm that crept into the Meat Rack the first time I watched Doron paint en plein air. Maybe that feeling shows on my face. You’ll have to see for yourself in person if you’re in New York.
Visit me and so many of my friends’ beautiful faces at booth 106 from @victoriamirogallery until Sunday 🫂
