“I haven’t done a tour of this length in quite some time, & some of the cities that we’re going to I’ve never played before, so it’s a gorgeous opportunity. The people I see on tour remind me that there are many brilliant people living in our world.” - electro pop artist @brightlightx2 speaks with The Queer Review’s @jameskleinmann ahead of the 17-date North American tour with Queen of the Universe winner @gragqueen beginning March 31st.

An amazing surprise today as I (and many other volunteers) got a Mayoral Service Recognition award for my volunteering at @bideawee - what a fabulous thing to receive out of the blue! Thanks @nycmayor@zohrankmamdani SO MUCH please come visit us at the Chelsea location some time! To celebrate here’s a selection of some of the iconic cats I have volunteered with, my birthday twin dog Obi and my two adopted sons from Bideawee - Quince (thriving) and Sunny (RIP)

New episode: Dolls (1987) with @brightlightx2

“The girl was right. The little people, they’re f***ing dolls!”
We’re thrilled to be joined by pop legend Bright Light Bright Light to discuss a favourite cult classic midnight movie directed by Stuart Gordon - the whimsical horror comedy dark fairytale Dolls!
That iconic poster image, Charles Band going from Empire Pictures to Full Moon Features, a BOYTOY belt, filming back-to-back with the absolutely wild From Beyond, Hilary’s soup recipe, the evil toys of Barbarella, gruesome gore, Madonna cosplay, being a hairdresser having to cut mouldy dollies’ hair on It’s A Small World, a descendant of Pocahontas, the Sean Astin timeline, Puppet Master facial inspiration, Camden Market girls, a giant killer teddy bear, the joy of vinyl and Kim Cattrall not wanting to be in a situation for even an hour where she’s not enjoying herself await.
We share our thoughts on the movie and its themes, some behind the scenes gossip, delve into the nightmarish moments and dream up some ridiculous merch.
Which cast member also features in a truly iconic music video? Listen and find out!

Two gorgeous post tour recovery days on Fire Island, first time staying at @belvederefireisland , papped by @cherrysonthebay filming @tammyspanx doing her famous H2O limo number at Mother’s Day drag brunch, and getting to see and hear @msanamatronic and her husband @bangthefx ring in the sound and lighting at @icepalacefi after hours.
