Oh hey I'm coming back to @trumpetblossom

Not bringing cupcakes this time, I'm bringing something a little more spicy, and a little more haunting (you know, for the season)

So idk if you wanna support weird art come out.

Also big shout-out to my spouse for not questioning me when I was like "hey paint your nails black and choke me for a promo pic real quick"

And also @bee._.dazzle really hit it out of the park with this poster. Incredible work bestie! Let's make out 😈

You ever just show up serve cunt, and smash cupcakes in the bartender's face or is that just me? 🧁

Had a lovely time being a part of @__the__aquarius__ little show Lithium Bath

Thank you to @trumpetblossom for letting us perform, and to the bartender, thanks for letting me shove cake in your face (although I think you liked it 😈)

And also shout out to my burly bestie who is also my gf @bee._.dazzle taken in Trumpet Blossom Cafe by @alys_belyn

Hey winter is over and the bitch is back 💖🍰🧁

My burly-bestie @bee._.dazzle is hosting a show and I'd be a fool to not be a part of it.

I hope y'all are ready for the brattiest cake you've ever seen 🍰💖💅🏻

Serving cunt and cake this Saturday at Trumpet Blossom in Iowa City. Be there. Or it's off with your head 💖

Everything I do, I do to make @gdtreal proud. Needless to say Pan’s Labyrinth left an indelible impression on me.

Also, how sick is this intro? I’ve been dreaming of doing this act for years, but never had the time or gumption to put it together. It took about 2 months (and an ungodly amount of liquid latex) to make all the pieces, but it was so worth it.

I had so much help and encouragement to bring this to life! Thank you so much @alys_belyn for helping make my creepy dreams a reality. You really helped me tell the story and sell the fantasy! Thank you to my amazing spouse @gregwalkman for editing my track and letting me take over our apartment with ceaseless crafting for two straight months. Thank you @misscattywompass for consulting me and encouraging me to do the damn thing 💗. And @bawdybawdyhaha for trusting me with your cold open and holding space for all my ideas! I’m so grateful for my burlesque village, I really couldn’t do it without you all. 💗

Hey besties are you ready for @ani_ames this weekend?!

I'm not. Lol. I still have no idea what cosplay to wear. I just keep looking at my cosplay closet in despair.

Anyways if you come out this weekend here's where you can find me 💖

I'll be part of the Cosplay Guest Q&A panel on the main stage at 1130am, you can ask me and some of my fellow cosplay guests any questions you might have related to cosplay 💖

Then at 730pm on the main stage come back for my favorite panel Cosplay...But Make it Fashion, where we're gonna talk about my 2 favorite things: cosplay and fashion duh 💖

Hope to see you this weekend, and if you have an idea of what I should cosplay this weekend, leave it in the comments cuz I have no idea what to wear 🙃

Happy pride month! I have big news!

My town is doing their first ever Pride event, and guess who is gonna be there!? Me!

I'll have 2 booths set up for the day!

All my beautiful artist friends will be hanging out at Studio Osky from 10-6 (one of my booths is there and I'll be there from 10-12:30)

And next is The Alley! I'll be there from 1-6 with a bunch of other vendors for our towns mini-pride. We'll have a puppet making workshop, other vendors & and non-profits, a pet parade, food, live music, and a DRAG SHOW at 5 pm!

I know that Iowa City's pride is happening at the same time, but please come out, it's so important to show support for our small town queers too, not everyone has access to transportation to get to the bigger events! So please please come out and show your support 💖🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
