She believed she could… so she moo’d. 🐮👑

Happy International Women’s Day (and month) to all my queens out there. ✨

This past weekend we put on our 9th Annual Queenfest at @electriclodge , and this year’s theme was a biting, bawdy, blood pageant. I proudly played Ms. Topsfield (the actual town I grew up in) and moo’d and murdered on stage — all in the name of charity. 🐄 🩸

Words can’t fully express the love and gratitude I have for everyone involved… but I’ll try in my infamous essay captions. 😉

To our unbelievably talented performers — thank you for baring your souls and sharing your art with us, but most importantly your truth and your pain. Our show is hilarious, yes… but it also slaps you in the face with the reality of the state of our world. Thank you for getting loud with us. 🎭🔥

To our generous audience — you laughed, you cried, you donated, you bought sashes, and some of you even got called up on stage. Thank you for going on this journey with us and showing up for the community. And to the many of you who couldn’t attend but still donated — THANK YOU. Because of you, we raised a lot of money for @chirla_org and people who really need it right now. ❤️

To the incredible women who co-produce this with me — I’ll keep doing this show until the day I die. I can’t believe that 9 years later we’re still fighting for our rights, but there’s no one else I’d rather do it with. Shoutout to @rachelriverz for writing and directing another BANGER.

Art creates change. 🖤👑

Practiced my red carpet walk at the Palm Springs Film Festival… because the Queenfest crown is MINE 👑💃

This year , I’ll be serving Gaga energy, pageant fury, raging feminism, and enough glitter to blind the paparazzi 📸✨

I’m so proud to be part of @queenfestla! ❤️ Every year, I get to collaborate with three of my favorite women (@heatheranngott, @gabrielle_geiger, @rachelriverz) to produce this awesome show and build this amazing community, and it just keeps getting better.

Huge thanks to everyone who came out to support from near and far and to those who donated to Planned Parenthood. King Feel-ah-peen-oooh had a grand time with Lady Liberty and got a solid lesson in feminism that night!

Special thanks to:
✨ My besties @lucybrillhart and @daveberenato for the amazing pics.
✨ Mom and Grandma for coming out to support.
✨ All the friends, mentors, and family who showed up.

Extra special shoutout to @kentbeingkent and @electriclodge for the collab ❤️ and to @lennon.hobson for bringing Lady Liberty to life! 🗽

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMENS DAY!

I am truly speechless at the amount of love and support last night at Queenfest. It’s one thing to have all your friends perform onstage at a feminist funeral variety show with vulnerable, funny, and heartwarming acts. It’s another thing to fill a whole theatre with people who were open to receive it, empathize with us and come onstage for a giant dance party to Pink Pony Club. 🦄

My mission in life is to make art and help the underdogs. We started Queenfest in 2017, after the election when we felt scared and helpless. Here we are in 2025 and it’s gotten worse. We’ve created a safe space for diverse female, non binary, trans and queer performers to get mad, get LOUD and use their voices to fight against the patriarchy. Last night was a great example of how art is POWER. We came together as a community and mourned together- and it left me feeling safer and stronger and better. 🥹

When I spoke last night, every single word I said was the truth. When I said that I can’t rely on the government to take care of me anymore and asked the audience to take care of me and dance me I meant it. I have never felt so HELD in a time where I feel like my voice doesn’t matter. I can’t believe in 2025 I am still fighting for my reproductive rights. We raised a ton of money for Planned Parenthood which means more to me than I can put into words. THANK YOU.

Never let anyone stifle your voice! Keep fighting for your rights. And remember to show up for each other and love your community 💜

Happy High Frequency Friday AND International Women’s Day!!! 💁🏼‍♀️💁🏽‍♀️💁🏾‍♀️

I feel love and gratitude in my heart today because of the overwhelming amount of support from friends, family and strangers with one of my most cherished projects last night. Something that is highly important to me is spreading compassion and kindness especially to women, nonbinary and queer folks and @queenfestla is just that - we are championing the underdogs and celebrating their art and their voices- and raising money for women and children in need from @alexandriahousela 🫶

Last night was the 10th Queenfest we have done and the talent that we have had over the years never ceases to amaze me- last nights lineup did not disappoint! We had some super special human beings grace the stage at @juniorhighla and with your generous donations raised over $1.6k!!!

Queenfest 2024 was such a success and it’s all thanks to you! We are still accepting donations through next week (March 14) so if you weren’t able to attend or want to contribute via our Venmo the link is in bio!!

Art is POWER. Thank you for helping us smash the patriarchy since 2017 💪

It just doesn’t get more high frequency than that! ✨
