Hailing from New Zealand, I’ve had a lot of experience with Aussie queens from across the Tasman. Those girls love to talk. When I moved to Toronto I didn’t think I’d ever have to suffer through that Aussie twang again, until I met Carrie Glamshaw. Just kidding! She’s sounds lovely, and she’ll be performing as […]

I personally try not to get into political discussions or debates, no one wins, and people just get mad. However, I recently came across a Facebook post on my wall, by a friend. This is the image she posted… Personally, I found this incredibly offensive and infuriating. I would put this type of image along […]

The music is reminiscent of 70/80’s punk with the prerequisite “fuck you” attitude in full effect.

I can do nothing but praise this documentary. It was short, sweet and to the point. It also was unexpectedly very emotional. Especially for someone like myself with a music background who perhaps in getting older has forgotten the power music can have on youth. It really tore away at my cynicism and that is […]

After my performance as American Horror Story’s Elsa Mars at the Great Hall with Illuminair Entertainment on Sunday April 19, I trucked across town to legendary drag bar Crews and Tangos to witness one of the most turnt out drag pageants Toronto has seen for a while. Organiser Matteo Cassano ( aka Heroine Marks) showed […]

“We act as if that being of a man or that being of a woman is actually an internal reality or something that is simply true about us, a fact about us, but actually it’s a phenomenon that is being produced all the time and reproduced all the time, so to say gender is performative […]
