.....Hi, sorry it has been 9 MONTHS since my last blog entry! I don't need to tell you what a year 2020 has been... if you're reading this, you know already. Well, I do have good news to share; I have updated my site and am now offering a brand new "shop"! I have adapted to the digital age, and you can now take and download one (or ALL!) of my pre-recorded classes, book a virtual lesson, purchase my photosets, and finally, coming soon, my MERCH!
I am still performing in virtual shows, and in fact, you can catch me in the Boiz of Austin 5th 'Homo for the HoliGays' on Twitch.tv/PapiJinxy tonight, Tuesday, December 8th, at 7 PM CDT (pre-show) or 8 PM CDT (prompt start time!).
Go ahead, check out my shop! And I will see you on Twitch for the next Boiz Show!
Please stay safe, wear your mask, wash your hands, and do not visit grandma this year!

Love you all,
A.

Where has the year gone?! My time has been devoted to producing, performing, and organizing a European tour for 8 entertainers! I am happy to say the 6th annual Pursuit of Happiness Trevor Project Benefit raised $1,617 for the Trevor Project in January! And tonight's Mission Trivia raised $110 for the Trevor Project! Remember, you can stay up to date with all of my productions here on this site.
Now, for some very exciting news... I can finally announce I am HEADLINING the NASTY BURLESQUE FESTIVAL in Treviso, ITALY, on May 29-31! Fun fact, Treviso was the very first city I ever visited in Europe (not including airport layovers, we all know those don't really count) when I was just 16! There was this perpetual magic about the whole experience, and I know now that it was the universe hinting at the magic that was to come for me later- THIS!!
Also, I just unlocked Italian Pick-up lines on Duo-lingo, so we are in REALLY good shape, y'all!!
Remember, if you want to aid me in any of my work, you can visit the Artist Support page.
It's not every day that queer, transgender boylesque dancers from Texas get to headline European festivals.... Just throwing that out there....

Thank you for being here and reading this... Gaia (my cat manager) says hi and clean your phone!

I won't be a stranger, promise!
BIG LOVE,
AtG

HELLO DARLINGS! November has been WILD! I had a BLAST performing in New York City, where Ben De La Creme and Jinkx Monsoon from Ru Paul's Drag Race were in the audience of one of my shows! Then, I got to headline Austin International Drag Festival, which was SO MUCH FUN! This week, I fly to New Orleans to perform and teach! What do you have going on this week?
Safe travels and remember to honor indigenous people this week!!

Holy Spaceballs, Batman! Halloween season is upon us, and I have been W-E-R-K-I-N-G, hunnie! I kicked off October in Miami, modeling for Juno Apparel, an incredible gender neutral swim and activewear line that I am truly in love with! Juno Apparel took care of my plane ticket, accommodation, food and my fee! It speaks volumes about a company when they take care of their people, and the owner and designer (Iris Muscarella) is POC and Queer and genuinely has her heart (plus blood, sweat, and tears) in her company. It was an honor to work for her! I hope I get to do it again!
The second weekend of October, I performed in Oklahoma City at Adele Wolf's Halloween Spectacular and that was truly incredible! I was also taken care of SO VERY WELL, and I love any chance I get to be in OKC!

I've got 3 shows this week-- the 3rd Chamber of Sequins, TRAINWRECK (a party show by trans people showcasing trans people), and I'm performing at a fundraiser for The Kind Clinic!!

Then, I'm going to chill with the dead and undead next week for Halloween and get some much needed beauty rest in my coffin. November and December are going to be full speed!!

I only put my foot in my mouth once this week, so we're doing okay! Here's to tasty toes and self forgiveness.
I mean, it is only monday, but my therapist would be proud of my progress. You're proud of me too?! Don't worry, I'll tell my therapist for you.

Cheers, queers!

With love and pride,
AtG

Welcome to my website! Thank you so much for stopping by and poking around. It's my first time making a website outside of a classroom setting! Can you tell? I know, it's pretty scissors and crayons, but who doesn't enjoy arts and crafts? My cat approves! At least, she's laying quietly next to me, which I must take as silent approval, considering I'm the one who buries the bodies of the animals she doesn't approve of... Anyways! My homicidal cat is neither here nor there... If you've made it this far, then wow, do you not have a boyfriend or something? I don't either, maybe we could be boyfriends? Hit me up on Grindr!

Welcome to my blog, I hope no one reads it. But someone said I should start one, so here we go! I hope this was a solid first entry. It was thirteen sentences, so I think we're really cooking with microwaves now!

I'm happy to hear your thoughts and responses... Contact me anytime! Thanks for visiting.

More shenanigans to come.

with Love and Pride,
AtG
