You are personally invited to the gayest fundraising event of the century! Come indulge in a night of draggy love and help us raise money for Narcisse Empoté-Ose's visa to stay in the UK, so they can keep loving on their partner Qualia Deskunt. The pair of lovebirds has recently tied the knot, and as a wedding present to themselves, they have curated the dreamiest lineup of performers for an unforgettable night of drag!
Just like any good queer event, there is a dress code and the opportunity to stomp the runway in your finest garments. The theme is ‘gay wedding apparel': we wanna see frills, colors, rhinestones, leather, lace, and/or body-ody-ody (or ‘layers-ayers-ayers’ if you'd prefer - we'll eat it up anyway).
There will be various cute trinkets (and hopefully waffles) for sale throughout the night. This is the final push to help Narcisse reach their financial goal and stay in their lover's arms in Scotland. Let’s keep this wonderful talented sweet beautiful queer in the kunt-ry!!!! (Qualia is writing this btw Narcisse wanted me to make it clear they are not that narcissistic).
So giddy up and bring your date, your friends, your friends' friends, your ex, your ex's ex's, your situationship, your therapist, your parents, your cat, your co-workers, your students, your teachers, your… you get the point. Bring everyone you love or have loved ever.
