PRE-DUSTY Barbizon-style posing. I loved that cherry wood marimba & had quite an era with it. Woulda been a great Dusty talent for a pageant or variety show, but WHO has room for a concert-sized marimba in an SF Apt. (unless it’s also a dinner table)? Can you imagine the $ to ship it across the US?

#PansyDivision’s 1000th SHOW at #BottomoftheHill 🔻 EPIC Queer History! 👏 It was wonderful to dance with the hoard & cheer on #JonGinoli & the band…30 songs & 6 encores! 👊 (My gams are TIRED.) The GORG #BevRage&theDrinks from Chicago opened the show! Queer Punk is more essential than ever now. 🖤

HAPPY 175th SF! 💖 Thanks @illuminatethearts.bsky.social for shining light on City Hall & Civic Center. It was beautiful, hopeful & brought people together in wonder & gratitude. 👏 I’m proud to call this city HOME, even if it’s complicated at times. We enjoyed capturing photos from many angles.

Friday Fleurs ☀️

In place of the Traditional Nat. Anthem, for this Parade of Flags & Colors, we offered “YOU RAISE ME UP”! (this is just an excerpt) 💗 To uplift & celebrate our community, especially at this time, for the 40th Mr. San Francisco Leather Contest! 🏆 “A Flag Queen” offered expressive Flagging as well. 🏳️‍🌈

What a SPECIAL night! I was honored to help open the 40th @mr_sf_leather Contest in the Parade of Flags & Colors, and celebrating its return with the community! 🖤💙❤️ @williamtaylorbarros’ Flagging in our number was so beautiful! The 7 contestants were all impressive & SO many warmly welcoming to me.

Tomorrow, March 30, is Trans Day of Visibility (TDOV). We want to take a moment to honor and celebrate the vibrant trans community here in San Francisco’s Tenderloin—a neighborhood that has long been a beacon of resilience, pride, and solidarity. ✨ 💗 🏳️‍🌈 #TransDayOfVisibility #TDOV

San Diego has the largest outdoor musical instrument in the world, the #SpreckelsOrgan! I teared up to #Edelweiss in the #SoundOfMusic Medley played by Spanish organist #RaúlPrietoRamírez! His concert also featured Debussy, Bach, Liszt & Frank. It was a charmed, blue sky day too. 🩵☀️ #BalboaPark

This stellar Figure Skating ⛸️ Woman/Artist/Athlete & this moment in Winter OLYMPIC History were beautifully captured by #Barbie! 🥇 With Boston WORLD Figure Skating Championships just a week away & Intl. Women’s Day under 2 weeks ago, let’s celebrate #KristyYamaguchi! 🩷 A gift from my Drag King son!

And the entire collective Queer SF Bay Area GASPS & clutches their pearls! 😮 In all seriousness this engineering feet feels worthy of a day trip. I’ve never seen it in my 32 years here. 🕳️ Also, YAY to all the rain flowing. Being farther from that drought sure feels better. 🩵 Thanks @sfchronicle.com!

HAPPY ST. PAT’S (& St. Gertrude of Nivelles) DAY! ☘️ May you have some good luck, or slide down a well-oiled Queer rainbow to a pot ‘o something you wish for, or a CAT! 🐈‍⬛ 7+ years ago I donned this GREEN doo (a #HeddaLettuce Hand-Me-Down), and it didn’t make me any more envious than I already was.💚

More of this!

IF we are true Allies, we must NOT be silent! 🏳️‍⚧️

I felt SO seen in the recent #NYTCrossword! (Props to #The3Contraltos too!) At first I worried “midrange” meant in quality. 👀 LOL. Thankfully, it was just vocal range. 👏 Who is your favorite Alto? I often first think of #KathleenFerrier, also a #contralto. Her woodwind-like tone is so affecting. 🎵

The #AmySherald exhibit at #SFMoma was stunning, and a meaningful way to HONOR #IntlWomensDay. 🎨 Her vision is so impactful and moving. I’m grateful to have experienced it before it closes. The colors, textures, stories, and challenging of societal and artistic norms… 🩷

“THE NAME ON EVERYBODY’S LIPS is gonna be…” (but it’s not clear WHEN?!) 👄 Someday I’ll enjoy my 15 SECONDS of fame, “duckface” and all. 🤣 It was a ball to laugh at myself AND with friends. Here’s the climax of my parody. 💦 Thanks to #GingersSF #DragQueen #DragParody #SFDrag #SanFranciscoDrag #Roxie

Proud of my fellow San Franciscans for taking up the protest signs this weekend! 📣 Parallel, I’m reading @sashavelour.bsky.social #TheBigReveal Manifesto, which celebrates SO much of Queer & Drag Theirstory! 🏳️‍🌈 I’m sharing here a few snapshots from it that inspire me: yellow Post-It Illustrations.

ÜBER PROUD of #BillyMidol in his MASCARA Show Debut! 👏 He sure made this Mutha proud…& slayed the audience. 💖 The whole lineup was SO talented & committed! Drag for sober/recovery community is unlike any other…so much purpose & joy. 🌟 Grateful for the #CastroCountryClub, as a beacon in The Castro! 🤩

My Algorithm is working! 🤬 I have SO much anger right now, for the attempted erasure of Trans/Queer Folx & dismantling of rights & services…mingled with my LOVE for my community. 🩷 It’s a wide range of emo to work out how best to ACT ON! 👏 THANKS @adamsnest.bsky.social for creating & selling these!

What an EPIC legacy & impact. 💜 As a commentator, he was too much for some, but it was always spot on for me: educational, sassy, frank & entertaining. 👏 A skill set few have today.
