STATIC: A Queer Fashion Show @ TRANSMISSION DC

Last week I had the incredible opportunity to model for @deadbeat.devil at STATIC: A Queer Fashion Show, and I couldn’t be more grateful to have been part of such an inspiring night.

Thank you to @dykemint @queertalkdc and everyone who brought this event to life and to @deadbeat.devil for trusting me to showcase your work. It was an honor to be surrounded by so many talented creatives and to celebrate queer art, fashion, and community.

I hope everyone had an amazing Pride Month. Here’s to continuing to uplift and celebrate the LGBTQ+ community all year long.

HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF THE PINK TAX | 47Magazine & Media

Have you ever heard of the pink tax? No, I’m not specifically talking about the color pink or your actual taxes, but an extra cost that’s often added to products and services marketed toward women. It’s basically gender-based pricing, where items marketed toward women are more expensive than the same or very similar items marketed toward men.

Over the course of the intensive, participants successfully learned four distinct dances from the company’s vast repertory, gaining firsthand experience with Taylor’s signature blend of athleticism and naturalistic movement. The program concluded with an informal show.

All Aboard! West Baltimore Families Get in the Holiday Spirit at Annual Polar Express Event - News

A historic train rattled down the tracks, windows frosty and the ground blanketed with a dusting of snow from the night before. Christmas music accompanied the hum of the engine.

Hair as Self-Expression: How Queer Barbershops and Salons Empower LGBTQ+ Communities | 47Magazine & Media
