  • Hosting a BIG Dinner

    On Thursday 21 March, Leo and I got to Emcee at the ILGA World Conference dinner. When we walked into the venue and saw how big it was, we had a giggle! 450 delegates, 40 tables of gorgeous humans from all around the world! It was so much fun to get up on stage and look…

  • Savage Times in Whanganui

    On December 8th, Leo, Clever and I performed the moving feast that is “At Home” in Whanganui. It is a charming town about three hours from Wellington with the joy of a river running through it (I do love a river town) and some humdinger vintage architecture to boot. As is our way, we had an idea…

  • At Home with Leo, Clever & Constance

    Oh my where to begin! On 13 and 14 July, the three of us performed in the annual Winter Art Deco Festival in Napier. We packed ukuleles, a guitar, costumes and ourselves into a hire car and road tripped there on Thursday. By the time we arrived, the load had been augmented with gleanings from…

  • A Week of Wellington Drag

    A Week of Wellington Drag

    It’s Pride week and The Wireless has run a daily article on Wellington and New Zealand Drag Artists. Yours Truly was asked to be spokesperson for drag artists who portray their assigned gender. Baz the journalist likes the term bio queen, but I do not. For a start, the important word is Drag, and all the alt…
