Grab your girls, gays, and theys! It’s time for the Los Angeles premiere of SPIT ME OUT.

Here is a little sneak peek behind the scenes of the blood, sweat, and queer chaos that went into making this genre-bending, bubblegum-chewing, small-town Texas church western movie musical. 🎬🤠✨

We had the absolute time of our lives bringing this story to life, we can’t wait for y’all to see it on the big screen!

Is it just me or is this line up getting HOTTER by the minute?!

@manny.oakley, aka the C-U-N-Try Western King of LA, is a drag performer inspired by Annie Oakley and the rhinestone cowboy. Manny reclaims country by infusing drag with her/their identity as a Queer Latino artist. Off stage, Manny is the founder of the LA Drag Archive, preserving the history of drag and gender-variant performance so our community’s legacy can never be erased.
