Do you consider what you do and what you wear to be a form of drag?
We all do drag.
What is going on with nightlife at the moment – can it be saved?
Nightlife for me is an emotion and state of being. Space is temporary, spirit and community unshakable.

The thirst for life, love, kindness, music, creativity and community // lack of oxygen and misperceptions.
You are an icon, especially in the underground queer community. How do you feel your presence is perceived in other club scenes?
Our presence should be consistent and transcendent.
A million miles from now. In a utopian past, when nightclubs, over priced drinks and debouched encounters with strangers where the thing. DAHC DERMUR VIII saved the night.
