Happy birthday to my best friend and soulmate. @boathedragqueen works so hard and inspires me every day to never give up, and I don’t know where I’d be without my partner.

💖My Heart Is Full💚 Thank you thank you thank you to everyone who was able to be apart of this passion project! We are eternally grateful to have had this opportunity to showcase not only our love for all things pop culture, but our love for our friends! When we planned this, we had a basic idea of what and who we wanted to have apart of this. I’m so happy that we were able to pull this off and not only showcase ourselves, but our chosen family! Keep your eyes peeled for more announcements and content coming soon! Boa/Connor 💚💖💚

Almost 10 years ago to the day I googled “fashion events in Toronto” and @fashionarttoronto was coincidentally in the middle of fashion week. I went to the event that day, terrified and nervous that I wouldn’t be accepted and my heart grew when I was welcomed by so many different people, and even asked to walk for a designer. Over the span of a weekend I had gained a group of people that every year invited me with open arms. After the loss of my father, I became more secluded, stepped away from creating, and only in the last few years started to feel like myself again. After 10 years I’ve been left speechless by the same welcoming nature of the team at Fashion Art Toronto. Thank you @_vanjavasic_ and @liammicha for always creating this space for artists. Thank you to my partner @boathedragqueen who has been my muse and collaborator throughout this project. And most importantly thank you to my selfless mother for more than I could ever say.

My biggest project since DRAG RACE!🥹 @connormccalden and myself have been turning it in our castle to bring your favourite characters blended together and brought to life in the most sickening way possible! 💚 Im literally holding back tears as I write this because the passion that we have for this is HUGE and we literally can’t wait to release it with everyone! This is something that we’ve been dreaming of for years and to finally be able to make this possible is the must humbling and grateful feeling ever! Again, thank you so so much to those who have helped us put this together! We’re so lucky to have such an iconic family of people that together, we can lean on! If You Can’t Accessorize…PULVARIZE💚💖 #artist #designers #fashionstyle #fashioncollection #drag #lgbt
