An interview with the Mexican artist and designer @sanchez_kane is accompanied by images of her beguiling work, like gold statuettes in military uniform and red lingerie, stacked on top of each other Human Centipede style. ⁠ ⁠ Elsewhere, drag performer @glamrou interviews renowned “anti-drag” performer @davidhoyleuniversal while the writer @donna.the.first offers a story of an evening at London club night @mumsagainstdonk ⁠ ⁠ Find out more through the link in our bio 🔗⁠ ⁠ ✍️ @elliothoste⁠ 📷 via @thebittersweetreview」9月27日 2時07分
