Suzanne Forbes, a New Yorker thriving in Berlin. Crowdfunded documentary art made possible by the generous support of her Patrons. https://www.patreon.com/SuzanneForbes.
My friend Shakrah got married at the courthouse here in Berlin, with immediate family only.
And her band, who showed up to play a surprise socially distanced number to the newlyweds! Of course the courthouse was a huge beautiful stone castle! It was a freezing cold day but Shakrah and L. looked incredibly chic and elegant as they danced outside.
Shakrah’s style is 1920s and she was an absolute Deco Belle!
Of course I wish I could have been with her. But we do what we can to honor our loved ones as things are. I am so glad I got to see her in her wedding dress and watch her and her husband L. cut their cake.
You can see more portraits of Shakrah here, here, here and here!
She performed live for the “Let it Snow” special with Lola Rose!
It was my first time drawing wildly charming Miss Judy and I had such fun. She is so pragmatic, so wise, so funny. Check out this Taimi video to hear about her inspiring journey from Tel Aviv to Berlin’s drag scene and find out how drag saved her life!
Lola has two new livestreaming shows coming Feb 3 and 10th, from Tipsy Bear’s stage.
Lola’s 2nd annual Black His/Herstory (Theirstory) Month show will run two Wednesdays of February with ten performers altogether. Five performers each week with a variety of burlesque, drag, stand up, theatre, & singing. The lineup is fantastic!! Even if you can’t catch the show, you can contribute to the money pool here to support these Black performers during this hard time.
I am incredibly grateful to my Patreon Patrons, whose monthly financial support makes it possible for me work safely at home.
