The minute producer Cadbury Parfait announced a Pride Week show with an all queer-identifying lineup, I was in!
I love to go to shows at iconic venue Monster Ronsons, even though it’s on the absolute opposite side of town (and of course in the summer getting to the East is a nightmare because U-Bahn construction). Because, a) the place just feels like home, and b) Ronsons actually has some shitty air-conditioning, which puts it WAY ahead of basically every other venue in Berlin. And Pride, Not Prejudice was a can’t-miss Extravagant Shambles lineup!
Above, Eden Lost shakes off the patriarchy.
Eden Lost is one of those performers who just blows my mind. They have the kind of star power and gorgeousness that comes off the stage in waves. I was so thrilled to meet them and have been following their adventures on the Insta, where I just saw they cosplayed 80’s Punk Storm!!! You must click!!! So good I am basically rolling around on the floor SHRIEKING.
Hostess Sarah Tonin as a seven-foot tall Gothic Lolita in mint and black outfit by Harry Hardon.
There was a terrific showing of local drag kings.
Above, gentleman dandy HP Loveshaft bringing hard thrills! (My Patrons got to see these two hot drag king portraits a month earlier than everyone else, as an exclusive treat).
Another fabulous performer I was drawing for the first time, Daddy Sparkles!
Daddy Sparkles is an explosion of colorful charisma!
Stage Kitten Stella Von Fersen wore one of my favorite classic cabaret looks, tux and topper!
Everyone loves glamour queen Betty Fvck, she always brings her A game!
Miss Strawberry Moon came over from the UK!
You know I love me some tentacles, and Pride flag tentacles, well hell yes!!!!
Coming soon, more drawings with breathtaking Lily Lustre, genderqueer Harry Potter cosplay from Skirt Vonnegut, and rock’em sock’em showgirl Felicity Felicis!
An important note to all my lovelies: I’m at home finishing all these drawings while I have a horrible case of strep throat AND bronchitis.
As a fat, queer, disabled artist, crowdfunded support is the only way I can make this work.
