Celebrating Trans Day of Visibility and also 10 years since I started drag this week 💝🏳️‍⚧️ Now that I’ve captured your attention in the most glamorous way possible… I’m lucky & grateful to be undergoing FFS on May 18th as the next step in my gender transition. My partner has set up a GoFundMe for my recovery, it’s on the second slide. If you’re able to donate I am grateful, but even reshares are so, so appreciated! This is a huge transition milestone for me and I’m both excited and absolutely terrified for it. I’ve been so busy with my transition and life that I haven’t created much drag content recently, but I realized the exact thing I needed was to take a quick breather from all the chaos of surgery preparations and do some art. I also wanted to honor my drag face in its current form before the procedure, it felt important to me that I did so. I hope you enjoy these new pics! Anyways…. 🔗 in my bio for the surgery recovery fund. Thank you for your support! XO Static / Andrea 🖤🦇✨🫶

It’s a pretty cool feeling to see myself & the event series I created be covered in @papermagazine & @bostonglobe back to back! When we started @gaybashdboston in tiny bars back in 2018, never in my wildest dreams would it grow to be the massive, incredible thing it has become today. On top of that to see it called things like “iconic” and “pivotal” by publications such as Paper Magazine & The Boston Globe… proud is an understatement.🥲 I feel so grateful to have such amazing and talented people by my side to help keep this slice of magic alive for as long as we can @math3ca @violenciaexclamationpoint @thatsbinx @saint.the.creator @frannocean @jaydobs10 🖤

10 whole years since I started this project and created Static! What a journey. Speaking of journeys and milestones… I’m just about 1 month away from my FFS. Surgery recovery fund linked in bio🫣. Anyways please enjoy this video of just some of the cool stuff I’ve done over the years 🫶🦇✨💝

CDMX has my heart 🖤

Last night, the GAY BASH’D founders were awarded a Certificate of Recognition from Mayor Michelle Wu of the City of Boston. We are deeply moved by this honor and it wouldn’t have been possible without the support of this amazing community over the years. As a small business ran by a trans woman and a queer immigrant, people like us don’t expect to receive recognition at this scale. We are profoundly grateful. Thank you to @mayorwu & @cityofboston for honoring @sheisstatic & @math3ca this way, solidifying GAY BASH’D as historic, and for your ongoing commitments to the queer community. Thank you @_corean_ & @bostonoeoi for delivering this to us, sharing this moment, and for your commitment to nightlife in Boston. We can’t think of a more special way for this project to end. Thank you everyone who came out and showered us in love last night and joined us for our final party. We love you all. Thank you for 8 amazing years. GAY BASH’D FOREVER 🖤

It’s been 8 incredible years of GAY BASH’D with you. Tonight we do it all over again one last time 🖤🖤🖤

The last GAY BASH’D is Friday and I’m filled with emotion! My brainchild & passion project for the last nearly 8 years. This project has taught me so much, given me some of the best nights of my life, brought me close to the most amazing friends, and given me memories to last a lifetime. If you told me when I started this party in 2018 that it would become one of the biggest parties in the country selling out 3,500 capacity venues I wouldn’t believe it, I was just an ambitious 19 year old with a dream of hosting my own event. Thank you Boston for all the love & support and thank you to everyone who’s made this project possible. Seeing the love in the comments on the closing announcement post over on the @gaybashdboston account & hearing how much my beloved project has meant to others & impacted the lives of queer people in the city I grew up has me deeply moved. The connection people described having to my events reminds me of the connection I felt to spaces like Machine (RIP) when I was a tad younger and discovering myself in the Boston nightlife scene. Could not have done this project without @math3ca & everyone else who’s gotten involved.🖤 It’s been a dream come true, but I’m ready for new dreams and new adventures. I’m beyond excited to be together and experience GAY BASH’D one last time Friday, I can’t think of a better way to conclude this project than a Halloween Night in Boston. 🖤

💚 What a run! @gaybashdboston — you’ve built something that made an incredible impact on queer nightlife in Boston forever. Your vision, your risks, your magic — all of it expanded what was possible for our community. #endofanera #bostonnightlife

☀️You’re my Sunset ☀️ Still riding a high from the incredible @gaybashdboston x @entertheboudoir with @horsegiirl420 a few weeks ago! Tonight I’ll be performing at @icaboston (in my museum girl era) and I hope to see you there! Then next Saturday is @gaybashdboston PRIDE at long last! These will be my last two gigs for a hot minute so I hope to see you there! Also included in the swipe post - thee @gracejonesofficial shook my hand and addressed me 2 nights ago, which is exactly the magical & surreal moment that I needed to dive head first into another beautiful Pride month feeling inspired by life! Happy Pride everyone! 🫶🫶
