โจMANTASIAโจ About a year and a half ago I was recovering from top surgery and pushed myself to go to
@upset.femme and
@throb.zombie 's Tales from the Cl!t at the Mosesian. I couldn't lift my arms, but I lost my voice that night screaming in awe of the talent and high-production drag I saw. I decided that night that this was the kind of drag I wanted to do. Never would have believed that the next time I was at Mosesian I'd be a cast member ๐ญ It was an honor and literally so much fun to be in community with new friends and longtime heroes ๐ I'm proud to have brought to the stage an act that feels quintessentially KILLABITE, leaning into traditional Japanese fashion for my first sewing project. I also performed to Neither Nor by
@moses which was a song that helped me realize I was NB and tr
@ns ; his album 'Grae' saved my life. It only felt right to become the demon they always warned us against ๐น๐นโ๐ผ๐น๐น Gratitudes incoming!
Big big thank you to
@rustyhammerdrag @mantasydrag for your love and trust in meโจ Brother, you know I'll turn out no matter what, but I deeply appreciate the opportunities you've given me to skill up and push my drag. Thank you so much for your work in carving out space for high-production, king-centered drag shows in Boston. There's literally nothing like it ๐
Thank you to my gorgeous partner

Tons of love and appreciation for my brother and sewing mentor
