Testimony
“As a drag artist I not only found a passion but a permanent part of life. This art form saved me, Frank opened up a part of me I kept hidden. And Frank isn’t just a character I portray, he as much me as I am him. I celebrate my non-binary pride, all and none of my gender-fluidity.” - Frank Siracha
Lipsync Performance
She’s the ethereal being hailing from her woodland realm to bring us a taste of her art. Virgo Moon brings an intense energy with her performances and is very excited to share her vibrations with us today. Virgo follows a lot of Buddhist teachings and uses the lessons of his holiness the Dali llama in her day to day life 💘
