To my co-promoter @coldestbru ❤️ I’ve running @missbigadamsapple solo for a few years, this was the first year having you as a partner in crime and it truly leveled everything up.

Your business acumen, your passion, and your friendship made this season what it was. We’ve always said that building queer community and creating safe, intentional creative spaces isn’t passive; it’s something we actively do. And this year, we did exactly that.

I’m so proud to be doing this with one of my closest friends. You are kind, smart, and incredibly talented, and the way you connect with people leaves a real and lasting impact.

Here’s to even bigger things this coming year ❤️❤️ 🍎 👑 taken in Orlando, Florida by @karikerning

Casually flipped through @queer_happened_here and 💥 boom 💥 I’m on the Barracuda Bar page. Sandwiched between @thetinaburner and @bobthedragqueen . A iconic queer NYC history moment… even if I’m just ‘drag performer’ lol.
