This week on The Nouvs I’m very pleased to bring you a conversation with legendary San Francisco Drag and Performance artist VivvyAnne ForeverMore. Vivvy is not only one of my favorite performers, and one of the smartest people I know, she’s also one of my oldest friends.
I asked Vivvy to join me on the program because she producing the 7th installment of Work More, an annual celebration of queer history and drag lineage.
Vivvy and I have a great talk about her show, queer history, the impact of RuPaul’s Drag Race on the art of drag, and (to the surprise of absolutely no one) our shared nostalgia for mid 2000s San Francisco.

Ted is the former program manager of Visual AIDS—an important hub of art and activism surrounding HIV—and he is currently studying one intersection of HIV and Christianity Ethics at Union Theological Seminary in New York.
Ted and I talk about his studies at UTS, his activism, and (if i’m gonna be totally upfront with you) a lot about me. Brace yourselves.

Goddess Moon and I have great conversation ranging from off-label uses for electric fly swatters, issues of race, gender and inclusion within the leather community, the pressure to live up to the example set by her sash-mom—Shae Flanigan—and what it means to have a “leather heart”.
Below you'll find some links to things we discussed...
