Heyo Deviants,
Welcome to The Deviant Dispatch, your guide to events and culture that defy the norm.
Last Friday I talked about the way DIY rock handled sexual assault and “abusers” in their communities (If you haven’t read it click here). Lots of you reached out and said you appreciated my take but I wanted to say one more thing on the matter. While I am pretty critical of how this playing out, you also have to break some eggs to make an omelette. Confronting these deep rooted ideas of misogyny (or any gyny) is not going to be perfectly executed and we need to do SOMETHING.
Sometimes that something really is to make a mess online. Depending on your goals, it can really work. Cut to Myyki Blanco FINALLY getting paid for the production and writing credits on Teyana Taylor’s “WTP” after raising a stink on twitter that she hadn’t been paid in 2 years.
Don’t play yourself! Be vulnerable! Keep your wits about you!
and with that, your events for the coming days.
xoxo Mo
Harlots NYC
When: Wednesday, shows at 5pm and 7pm
Where: Union Square and Washington Square, Manhattan
What: The dolls are storming the streets! Drag performers Magenta, Jette Grey, Hanna Lou, and Babes Trust (all of Bushwig fame) are doing pop up shows in Manhattan today. Check it out for some riotous IRL drag and make sure they don’t get dragged into a unmarked cop car like Nikki aka Stickers .
How much: free but bring dollars to tip the dolls
MV YOUNG’s OUTDOOR POLY CULT PARTY
When: Friday, 7pm New York time
Where: secret IRL location (email mvbookings11@gmail.com) , https://www.twitch.tv/goprofessionalwrestling
What: Brooklyn wrestler MV Young is a self-proclaimed polyamorous sex cult leader. Like most things in wrestling, it’s probably just a gimmick for show, but there’s def a queer energy around MV Young. You can see how real the deal is this Friday. The party is happening in a undisclosed Brooklyn backyard, and the flyer promises hand sanitizer and encourages you to BYO beer and mask. You’re also encouraged to bring blankets and chairs, so I’m guessing it’s a pretty big backyard. There will be 3 matches, including a brawl between the cult leader and out fave faggy daddy Effy.
How much: unclear, email for details
The Saddest Spiral
When: Friday, all night long
Where: Zoom, follow @th3saddestangel on Twitter for the code
What: a Latin-centered party in LA with a hyperpop awareness and a raunchy atmosphere, this party is now online for your pleasure. The lineup hasn’t been announced yet but past DJs include Chippy Nonstop. I know Zoom parties are a tired concept now, but this one’s debasement (dicks and titties come out after 1am) promises to spice things up. Don’t you miss dancing in the club? Cry about it here.
How much: Free
