Being born, after Bowie and other greats, I studied English, Literature, and Rhetoric, and I am a Violent Femme! In its most peaceful sense.
What makes your style stand out?
People say it’s a blend of 70s punk rock and freedom fighter aesthetic. I get confused for Che Guevara all the time, but I try to reinforce my style with the music I perform live.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
For people I inspire to wear what makes them feel comfortable in their own skin. When everyone can wear men’s or women’s fashion without prejudice or ridicule.
What would you do with $20,000?
I would buy a home for myself and my two daughters in Southern California, so I can experience the American dream. Or, I would use it to work on my PHD in critical theory and quantum rhetoric.
