No one. 👼Sunday Thoughts from Gigi Marie 😈: I decided @therealelvira.bsky.social is a kindred spirit. From what I’ve seen, there’s a fearlessness + cheekiness I relate to 💯 Ever have a willingness to be purposefully silly most of the time?? That’s me. Redheads. ⭐️✨🖤✨⭐️✨🖤✨⭐️✨🖤✨⭐️

What is PUNK?! Working class artists. “NYC Moon” is about my escape from NY. W/scrappy DIY notions + stories of Debbie & Tom, turned into worker at Disney World, everyone else goes on rides. My idea of NY? Gone. The parasitic? Ever present in plastic. Eager to embrace the next young nobody. ✨🖤✨

Thrilled to share with you “NYC Moon” !! I may have been listening to a lot of Iggy Pop at the time. This song reminds me of something he would perform with his big band. Feel free to cover it anytime, Godfather of Punk & thanks for all the inspiration. ✨🖤✨ Listen now: ffm.to/gigi-marie-n...
