What makes your style stand out?

My style stands out because it’s a kaleidoscope of all the worlds I live in. As a drag queen, rocket scientist, musician, author, and psychic, I blend the mystical and celestial with the structural and engineered. I’m never afraid to take risks, whether by thrifting, making my own clothes, or transforming unconventional materials into high fashion. My style is both spectacle and story: playful, powerful, and unapologetically my own.

What’s your dream fashion moment?

My dream fashion moment would be creating an homage to Hedy Lamarr in Ziegfeld Girl: a gown crowned with a celestial headpiece I’ve engineered to sparkle with twinkling lights and movable pieces. Hedy inspires me because she embodied both glamour and genius: a dazzling actress and a brilliant inventor whose work led to WiFi. Like her, I want my style to unite spectacle with substance.

What would you do with $20,000?

With $20k, I would donate half to my all-girls high school robotics team, helping them build a much-needed new workshop where future innovators can thrive. The other half I would give to humanitarian relief for those in need in Gaza. To me, style and creativity mean nothing if they don’t also serve to uplift, empower, and bring light to others.
