Last night at @madeinasia.fest , one of my favorite songs and two outfits. Have been thinking a lot about transformation and embodying duality. Masculine and feminine, dressed and undressed, power and subtlety. I generally don’t perform my numbers more than once, but after doing this for @cocoromack and @marshobrecker ’s baby shower early this year, knew that there was more to be found in it. Amazing to share this moment with @heathersten who got me into the dress. I put a little framed photo of us on the table to watch over us. Thank you to @sashafoto for filming this piece so exquisitely, as you always do. Most of all, love to @shiahonyc @untitledqueen @shawn_haohsiangli @kslguo and the entire @madeinasia.fest team for putting on an amazing display of Asian talent!

Spent a really nice morning with @doronlangberg ahead of the opening of their show “Landscapes” up now at the @jeffreydeitchgallery . I loved reading the piece by @juliahalperin detailing some of Doron’s process, motivation, and family history. Thanks for welcoming me into your space. Thank you @_maridelis for the call 🤗

The honour of a lifetime to photograph the iconic and legendary catwalk coach @miss_jalexander for @nytimes . J brought some much needed fabulousness to my “closeted” teen years, and his elimination fashion gags—like the ever-growing neck ruffles (slide 6)—taught me the power of wielding drama with flair and panache. Wheelchair or not, there’s no denying that model was present. Thank you so much @tannercurtis for the call, @laurelgolio for the assist, and team J @iambrittneyw @mistermmendiola
