Had a blast on Sunday at @dineanddrag and @ipekusman was there to immortalize the night. Thanks for having me and allowing my creativity to fully flow around the theme of the night ‘born again’. I loved the space, the performers, the team, the audience. A very special night for me with lots of experimenting. Loved it!

listen to the cool shit we made 👽

a little tribute to my second family, the playground that made amsterdam a home to me.. @der.hintergarten a lot has happened on the background for this place to become what it is today. 3 years of sweat blood and tears. everyone involved working day and night to bring dreams into reality. i cant wait to spend the last days of hinter enjoying and mourning for these beautiful memories. hoping there is another place for them to create a bigger and better adult playground. so much love to the whole team xxxx

it took me 3 years but we finally made it… I GOT MY VISA! and finally my well deserved holiday with the fam, the sun, and the blueblue sea 🌞🌊 bigbigbigbiggest thank you to everyone that helped me along the way and wishing all non-eu people patience and the best of luck xxx

Darlings, devils, daddies, and divine creatures, You really showed up for our Pride Birthday last Thursday, and babes… we’re still recovering from the glitter, goosebumps, and ground-shaking boi energy. We want to thank everyone, not only for showing up last Thursday, but for showing up for a whole year of Dine & Drag! Without you all, we would’ve never been able to celebrate one year of queerness, unhinged performances, and drag culture. To all our performers, you didn’t just turn the party; you rewrote the rulebook. What the fuck did we just watch? But boy, didn’t we love it! Gender? Identity? Structure? Consider them fully shaken, stirred, and served on a silver platter. Thanks to @latinx_charm @bbi_lut @aion__arribas @labello_dickodello @julie.phallic @lost____time____ ! And @lanavdbrug for the cheeky surprise act in the end 😉 @harryalabaster cooked a delicious 3-course meal for all of us. Did you also lick your plate... and your fingers? And once again, our queen behind the decks @hazuki.sound had us dancing and shaking all night long. Massive love to @sissis.amsterdam for giving us the space and an amazing team! And @jagermeisternl for making sure we’re never without a drink throughout the night! And last, but definitely not least, to everyone who dressed up, down, sideways, and everything in between: you are the magic. We ate, we screamed, we danced. You made our birthday a dream come true. We can’t wait to do it all over again. Until next time, lovers, see you in October! Until then, stay juicy, stay fabulous, be loud and take space! We love you all!

SHARING IS CARING OF COURSE !! Here are pictures of me in desperate moments when I’m about to pee myself, and having no other choice but to do it there and then. Now that I have your attention, I need your help. 

If you know me a little, you know that I’ve been angry and frustrated about inequality in one of the most basic need we have as humans. I’ve been saying that I will start a revolution, and this is finally my first step towards that, what I call #PISSPOLITICS. 

Help me raise funds so we all can pee in peace! Link is in bio!

b&w postcard series shot on film, this time all in Amsterdam. featuring people very close to my heart. available for print, dm for info.

another old b&w travel images from my postcard series. this one is from one of the best trips with the best people available on print, dm for info.

some b&w postcard imagery on film from my visit to London. last one was a development fuck-up but I like the storytelling behind it. it reminds me that each image is just another frame on the roll. available on print, dm for more info. posting on here has always been a struggle for me and i’m challenging myself to post more of my old and new work! let’s see how it goes!

great moments over the past few months all captured by the lovely @zuza_d she tends to make me feel like a model. also a reason for me to introduce this new account where I wanna be a little more private and a little more weird.. feel free to send a request and maybe you’re lucky enough to see a little too much of me with my twisted realities and political pursuits
