As a child in the 1970s she found solace in music underage queer nightclubs fashion in the 1980s and her fluid chosen families and gay bars in the 1990s. With few rules and even fewer role models she lived a life of debauchery and freedom strife with drama and intrigue at times dark and cold but always with an air of rebellion and fun.
