NO NAMES NO PACK DRILL

I attempted to take the week off, but managed a half day sleep-in on Thursday, and have been back at it since. Last night we got a treat to the theatre ~ No Names, No Pack Drill had me in stitches for 2+ hour long play. Despite it being put on by good friends (some faces you might recognise from tv), my bias opinion was superseded and I would happily watch it over and over

Now, deep in the concept phase of my 2025/2026 diploma graduation collection, I'm drawing inspiration from the opulence of Paris Couture Fashion Week SS25, particularly the breathtaking craftsmanship of Armani Privé. This collection is about honoring my roots in intricate beadwork while embracing sustainable practices and modern elegance. My design process starts with textiles, and my palette has evolved into a rich tapestry of verdant hues—lush greens, earth tones, metallic blues, and soft greys.

I draw inspiration directly from the queen herself and the show’s ever-changing themes: from flapper glam and Queen Bey’s Cowboy Carter to Christmas chaos and retro ‘80s realness. Each poster is created using Canva, guided by a strong intuitive eye for graphic detail - a skill I didn’t learn, but one I’ve always had.

Where I like to think high Camp meets Helvetica The Queens At the heart of Drag Queen Bingo is Buttery Chard , the dazzling alter ego of my dear friend Ryan. One of the things I’ve always admired about Ryan - long before the wigs and lashes - is his deep commitment to inclusivity. He has this effortless way of going with the flow, letting his community lift him up, which in turn lifts everyone arou...
