Saint Syndrome Shines

I wanted to find a way to honor the art of drag and to celebrate one of my favorite drag performers Saint Syndrome. They are an absolutely delightful and incredibly talented musician who calls themselves the lowest bass with the smallest waist! I am a big fan of the art of drag and how we should remember that everyone deserves to be seen, heard and celebrated!

One of my favorite quotes about drag is from Ru Paul, “The deeper level of drag is all about, you’re born naked and the rest is drag. And that’s political, it’s very punk rock, it’s very radical. It’s this idea that you are not your body. You are an extension of the power that created the whole universe. That’s drag. We are all God in drag.”

Because the world is far from a perfect place, and we aren’t evolved enough yet to embrace each other for who we are, I will donate 10% of the profits of any of the Saint Syndrome art and items to a charity called Rainbow Railroad. Read more and or donate here with no fees: https://www.rainbowrailroad.org/

Unfortunately in countries around the world, LGBTQI+ people face violence and oppression simply because of who they love or who they are. Rainbow Railroad helps them get to safety. There are donation buttons to this worthwhile org on my about page and also on the Digital Art page.

I truly hope that someday we get to the place where we can really embrace and celebrate the incredible gorgeous diversity that each of us have, and simply stop using violence towards each other.

Is that too much to ask? I don’t think so!

Thank you for your kindness and generosity.
