The Back Story

The Talking Flower

Inspired by Laryn Gitis in the premiere of Dragging Faery Tales

For my digital drag show, Dragging Faery Tales, the first episode at the start of 2022 was an Alice in Wonderland theme. Irish drag queen, Laryn Gitis brought one of the first runways on the show as a talking flower form the story. She placed 4th in the episode & overall in the season. But she became a drag artist I respect and look up to and has had many of her own successes since the show. I'm inspired by each artist I've met through creating this show, & I'm honored to pay tribute to them in my art.
