Baby boy's second drag act! This was for a 4/20 themed show and I quite famously don't indulge so I did this satanic Adam Ant Goody Two Shoes number which honestly I want to bring back.with updated costume. Although I don't hate this costume at all, the harness is custom by me and the Zardoz vibe is 100% intentional.
Those skinny ass eyebrows. This is how you can tell I didn't have a real drag parent. I consider Flu my surrogate mother, but no one ever taught me how to do anything which is PAINFULLY obvious but also kind of my style.
Did y'all know I have a drag son now? And I haven't given him any makeup lessons either yet. Oops.
Blast from the past while my ankle is (hopefully) healing! A clip from my first drag performance back when I was Otto Da Fey for five minutes.
This was not supposed to be my first time but @houseofgunt was doing a fast food themed show and I thought "Wouldn't it be funny if..."
Look at drag baby hitting with the Throbbing Gristle clip though. Some things never change. I would perform this today.
Fortunately for you, the lighting is washed out and the resolution is grainy but here's my FIRST drag king act with House of Gunt, where I lip synced to Morrissey singing Meat is Murder in a bloody jock and a shirt made out of Saran wrap. The rest is history. Posting video to my reels later today.
Fun fact I was actually "Otto DaFey" for this performance, but a Boylesque performer in another state debuted with that name exactly the same time. I had searched to make sure the name was free, as I'm sure he had, it was just weird parallel inspiration. I changed my name and loved my new name better.
Other potential names had been "Vincent Priss" and "Basil Wrathboner"
Well, as long as I'm laid up - 💣 BLAST FROM THE PAST 💣
These are my first time in drag and my very first "promo" selfies.
Stay tuned tomorrow for photos and videos of my first performance. 🥶
Would you give your dollars to this man??? 💸
I've had a lot of people reach out with sympathy about my busted leg, and I really appreciate you but I want to make it clear - it was my brain malfunctioning that was really killing me and the relief from that is like a big cloud covering up the sun. (I'm a vampire, did you think that metaphor would go the opposite direction?) I've had antidepressants almost kill me, but this time this combination has been virtually lifesaving. I say virtually because I'm not allowed to self-reset because my husband couldn't deal without his spooky little boy. But I FEEL alive again even though I'm undead.
My fighting spirit is back now, which means I can get through this leg thing. I'm hoping to be back on stage this late spring/summer charming you out of your cash once again.
Still @strzyphoto the gothest lens in SAV 🦇
Soooo... This is going to be a lengthy post. TLDR; No, not dead, but this hiatus will be a little longer than anticipated.
I was planning on taking a short break and that accidentally became a long break when the bottom fell out of my fucking life. I had a bad reaction to my antidepressant of several years, leading me to have to discontinue it suddenly. And I guess after years of adaptation my body didn't go back to baseline, it just... 🥶 There may have also been some autistic burnout going on. Either way, my brain and body just shorted out on me. I lost motor skills, had no energy, massive brain fog, and eventually the worst depression I've ever experienced which for a high level goth like me is like wow I didn't know this 100 level tower had a new game plus mode. I literally lost the ability to do ANY makeup or draw anything. It was gross y'all. Oh, and it kicked in months after I discontinued the medicine so it took ages to even figure out if that was the cause but it seems like it was because after many months we seem to be finding a pharma cocktail that's helping my brain but my body is still whack. In fact, even MORE whack because guess what?
My Achilles tendon surgery decided, belatedly, to fail. They think it might not need surgery but right now i'm in a boot for the next few months and not doing any aerials, pole, or dancing, which breaks my heart but I'm trying to focus on my positives right now which is finally having my brain back after months of feeling like a stranger smothering in a broken voodoo doll. I will probably start drag again in a couple months before the boot is even off.
And this time I swear I'll make some fucking merch. KEEP THE FAITH, MY GOONING GHOULS. I'll be posting more of this photo set later this week. Don't @ragahmuffin and @meginga look excited to be seeing into the magical void of my arse. 🫥🖤🖤
