Ahhh omg I haven’t logged onto this in forever but hello Nightgowns/Sasha fans who are now finding this page! (pretty ironic/convenient that my original Don’t Grab Me was my last post on here, huh?) Thank you so much for your interest, shares, and kind words!
I don’t use Tumblr anymore but if you’d like current updates on what I’m doing, feel free to follow me on Instagram @blackandwhitestriped ❤️
”Happy” Inauguration Day…..
The general concept for this number is something I’ve had in my head for a while, but when Donald Trump provided the catalyst and springboard to really make a statement with it, I knew it was the right time to share it with the world. As someone who gets perceived both as female and as a drag queen, I deal with harassment from straight men on a near daily basis going about my life (cat calls, whistles, creepy stares, sexual comments, unsolicited propositions, and so on) as well as from gay men when I’m out in drag who think it’s funny to grope me because they assume everything’s padded and I can’t feel it, and chasers who I’ve had to deal with aggressively groping me, grabbing my arm or hand so tightly my friend had to physically pull me away from them, pulling at or trying to take off pieces of my costume, grinding up on me, and trying to forcibly kiss me. Being subjected to this so constantly is exhausting, and the fact that our country is now being run by a man who has been documented as bragging about engaging in this behavior is absolutely terrifying. The more I talk about these things the more I realize just how little men, especially straight men, comprehend about how vast of a problem sexual harassment and abuse is in the daily life of women and femme people, so I encourage others to talk about their experiences and make it known that this is a real issue, that this type of behavior isn’t acceptable, and that we won’t stand for it!Song credit- U & Ur Hand by P!nk

Repost from @erikaklash of her “Gothic Lolita Monster” look side by side with her #Transformations for the legendary @jamesstjames1! I was tasked with altering Erika’s dress to James’ measurements in order to recreate the original look as close as possible, and here’s the result! Congratulations Erika on this amazing opportunity and thank you for having me involved! 💙

More photos of @misss.hell in her custom “Like a Virgin” ensemble for her winning performance at #CHOSEN! Thank you @detoxxbusti_ae #detoxximage for these beautiful shots! (at Vodka Soda/ Bottoms Up)
Repost from @acidbetty with another gorgeous shot featuring an outfit we collaborated on! This is very surreal for me because seeing Acid Betty on Project Runway was what got me interested in drag in the first place, so this is a great way to kick off the new year 💙——- ✨Happy New Year!✨ I hope this winter & new year treats us all kindly. ❄
