Sex Worker. Burlesque Dancer. Misandrist. Occasionally people let me write things. Occasionally those things are good.

I choose a birthday icon every year. Since I’m 29 today I selected Cassandra Peterson. A couple years ago I listen to her on a podcast saying she didn’t get @therealelvira gig until she was 30. At 29 she really started getting specific about what she wanted. This was after decades of hard work. She also refused to leave her honeymoon for the audition. Women are told that 30 is the end, that you’re old. But it’s not. The last year of my 20s will be honoring that while digging in and laying the foundation for the rest of my life and career. #29 #birthdaygirl #heroes https://www.instagram.com/p/Bry30ZCFgqU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1f91w34kluwq3

@sweetlorraineny rejuvenated one of my main wigs. After three years of only being brushed it was time for some care and now it’s fresh! You can catch it on stage January 5th at @catseyecabaret ! #wigs #sweetlorrainenywigs #jeangrey #redhead https://www.instagram.com/p/BrkzVpKFVDi/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=r5kg99t3lhee

“The only way to keep us all alive is to decriminalize. It is the only way to keep us all human.” This is the list of names in the United States for this year. There are more. Any politician who voted for F*staS***a has blood on their hands. #d17 https://www.instagram.com/p/Brgg2eblpX1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1f8ci59a9yekf

Vigil is at a lovely church. @judsonchurchnyc has signs for safe injection kits and other harm reduction efforts. They’re also letting @swop_usa set up here. Nice to see that religion and oppressed classes aren’t mutually exclusive here. So often churches shun SWers queers, trans folk, drug users...the list goes on. For those of us who are spiritual/religious it can be hard. #d17 #jesuslovesus https://www.instagram.com/p/BrgeQNEFWtC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1eil3y4lcyaem

A vigil that fundraises with #croptops? I love my #sexworkerconmunity. On somber days like #d17 it’s important to find the silver linings and new ways to shout about rights. https://www.instagram.com/p/BrgdaUTl7Rg/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19ibpmxsgywrc

Started #d17 by lighting candles and reflecting on privilege. I’ve often been able to say no. I’ve been able to give bad reviews for shitty men with the caveat ‘if you need the money take these precautions, I won’t judge you’. I’ve been able to lay down boundaries and have grooming clients pass me by. I’ve still been assaulted but I’ve never been killed. SWRights intersect with all other marginalized identities. It’s an added danger to people already at risk. Last year I prayed the list of names would be shorter but thanks to certain bills it’s much longer. That’s the deaths we know of. Please speak up, speak out, and be ready to fight for us. https://www.instagram.com/p/BrfyHYcFxqS/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1dawpatwbbypv

A perk of living in New York is definitely live art by @thelastadriano Last night at @cirquedusoweird he really captured the fun I was having during my #gogo set. #nightlife #clowngirl https://www.instagram.com/p/BrF7aGqFyGd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ecr909i6rypx
