So I came in second out of 2. But I did get the fastest set of 10s ever and a legendary walk. I can't argue with that. It took 1.5 years to put the lewk together. All of unemployment and uncertainty, waiting for the right moment. Tonight was the moment.

I came in 3rd at the Ball, beaten by two Black trans women (out of fairness, no human can defeat a Black trans woman in a ball). And I advanced to the Top 10 for Style Icon, still currently in 2nd place styleicon.org/2025/phil-po...

I made it to the Top 15!! Currently in 3rd place! This is really cool, and this all goes to an excellent cause: the Elton John AIDS Foundation. I am of the AIDS generation of the 80s, so this matters to me, and showing my art to the world like this is so cool. styleicon.org/2025/phil-po... #fashion

I flat out refuse to show any sadness nor empathy towards anyone who wanted me ⚰️, and if that's a deal breaker for you, allow me to show you the door out of my life, because I have loving, accepting, and inclusive friends that celebrate me, and you and your bowing to h@te don't have to be among them

My toilet is malfunctioning, and my landlord refuses to do anything about it. I am tasked to do a work task I am not trained to do,and no training will be provided. So the BEST thing that happened was when a random yt gay saw me grocery shopping and made a vomiting faces sneer at me.

Having people, especially women and non-gay queer people, absolutely adore my historical black queer dandy fashion art is always so wonderful.. ..but there's something personally powerful about a gay man being sexually into me when I'm shirtless with other shirtless men (last night)

The Ball was a wonderful time at one of my favorite gay bars, Crush, with my friends there to support me and enjoy the moment. It was powerful; it was magical; it was defiant. Our joy is an act of saying "F*q U" to those who are scared of compassion, love, acceptance, inclusion, Black and Brown Joy.
