Bushwig Celebrates Pride & Rides In Solidarity With BLM

Bushwig Pride x BLM

EVENTS | PRIDE | ACTIVISM

06-26-20

It seems that the only acceptable way of celebrating Pride in 2020 is if you are doing it in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement. Bushwig drag festival organizers did just that on Friday, June 26. The event started off with a three-mile bike ride from Maria Hernandez Park in Bushwick and ended at McCarren Park in Williamsburg. In Buswhig’s style, attendees were encouraged to wear wigs. Drag performer Merrie Cherry led the horde of colorful bikers in a red convertible. A few hundred people ended up gathering on the lawns of McCarren Park, listening to the evening’s speakers, watching performances by The Dragon Sisters, Magenta, Jette Grey, C’etait BonTemps, and more. The donations provided during the event were to be split between the performers and a grassroots non-profit organization, G.L.I.T.S. (Gays and Lesbians Living In a Transgender Society), that houses homeless Black trans people. Amongst the highlights of the evening was the event’s speaker and performer Jette Grey, a Black trans sex worker, asking people to donate money to her Venmo account, so that she could help other trans people in need. In just a couple of hours she announced that she has collected over $7,000, with the donations going over $10K by the next day. The event finished off with a fiery speech by Samuel Nemir Olivares – a progressive Latinx, queer state committee candidate – and a dance party that was eventually ended by police intervention.

Bushwig 2019: Portraits And Performances

Bushwig festival has celebrated eight years! This was only our second year even knowing about it. Kind of sucks, because we’ve missed so many years of awesomeness.

It was first started in 2012 by two local drag queens- Horrorchata and Babe Trust. Now, it has gone international. Berlin is the other hosting city at the moment. We are sure it will only keep growing.

There were many incredible performers this year. Lady Bunny, Slayyyter, Nina West, Scarlet Envy and Tammie Brown– just to name a few. One of the best things that happened this year was Serena Tea’s performance. She transformed into a human from a car on stage. An amazing homage to Bumblebee from the “Transformers” movie franchise.

Another notable moment of the night was Serena Tea’s crowning as the new Mx. Bushwig. Two previously reigning queens Charlene and Juku oversaw the ceremony. To sum it up, we can’t wait for the next year’s Bushwig festival already. Furthermore, we can’t wait to attend it in Berlin.

A Day In The Life Of Geena Rocero

A Day In The Life Of Geena Rocero

sidewalkkilla

We spent some time with Geena Rocero, the first Asian Pacific Islander transgender Playmate. Find out what it’s like to be in her entourage for a day.

SCROLL DOWN

After I “Ran Into” Geena Rocero at the Bubble T party at Elsewhere club in Brooklyn, I wrote a small article for Sidewalkkilla congratulating her on her groundbreaking feat as the first transgender Asian Pacific Islander Playmate. She sent me a DM asking if I could come and take photos at her second celebratory event at No Bar at The Standard East. I said “Fuck yeah” and a few days later found myself in her hotel room being all in her face with my camera while she was getting her hair and makeup done for the event. Funny enough, I ended up recognizing half of the people present in the room from all of the events and parties I’ve attended over the past year. I felt right at home with all the familiar faces from the queer scene, and gave Geena a mental high-five for surrounding herself with talent from our community.

We all had a bit of a kiki listening to her stories about being scared to death by howler monkeys during her Playboy shoot in Costa Rica, and her full-circle moment after seeing Caroline “Tula” Cossey on the cover of Playboy in 1991 and telling her drag mother that she wanted to be just like her, only to follow in her icon’s footsteps 28 years later.

She mentioned that she was living in fear of being outed while her modeling career was taking off and, at a certain point, ended up breaking out in terrible eczema, but after deciding to publicly come out as transgender during her TED Talk, the rashes went away almost immediately. Playboy approached her via DM, and I couldn’t help but reflect on how we both received an amazing opportunity through the same medium: her from Playboy, and me from her. If you can’t call that a full circle, at least you could call that an opportunity chain.

After popping a bottle of bubbly, we all headed downstairs and got carried away by a beautiful night hosted by Tyler Ashley, The Dauphine of Bushwick. Then after several “Geena Coladas,” hundreds of photo-ops, three and four outfit changes for Geena and Tyler respectively, two performances by Tyler, and one performance by Geena of “How Far I’ll Go” from the film Moana, the night ended with a group of us running to Geena’s favorite Filipino restaurant Jeepney to stuff our faces before they closed. Geena has goddess status there, since one of the drinks on the menu is named after her and that’s where she hosted her first celebratory party, where one of her Playboy photos was unveiled as a mural on one of the restaurant’s walls.
