6 random facts about me.
1. Smooshing pie into people's faces makes me happier than almost anything in the world.
2. At 16, I starred in a drag show in a tiny gay club in Pisa. I was the only girl in a troupe of grown-ass Italian drag queens wearing black, lip syncing to Madonna’s “Frozen,” and throwing fake mudras (not proud).
3. Masters & Johnson started their controversial sex research at Washington University in St. Louis, where I earned my architecture degree and then co-founded the first on-campus sex & sexuality rag X Magazine.
4. In 2015, I was Houston Chapter President of the Sex Workers Outreach Project where I raised awareness around the importance of full decriminalization of sex work. Part of my business profits go towards supporting incarcerated sex workers through SWOP Behind Bars and Toys for Books.
5. I’ve eaten a frozen bologna sandwich and canned peaches in the Houston County Jail.
6. I’ve been baptized in an alligator swamp by a Borneo shaman who wore a baseball cap.
