My hot take is that pop culture and art and music and fashion and snacks and puppies and drag queens and texting and stupid movies and memes and holding hands and dancing and expensive perfume and very high thread count Egyptian cotton sheets and fancy bath towels and shiny pretty things and tall boy bathtubs are all actually really important.
The pandemic is hard and endless and there’s no extra credit for suffering. It’s not shallow to want to surround yourself with life and beauty when there is death and sadness all around.
Say yes to all bread. Chase kindness. Buy whatever. Laugh about it. Cry about it. You’re doing great.
Thank you to everyone who has been streaming and sharing this new single and video the past couple of days! I am doing my best to be so gay that even people who thought they were pro-gay before are like “eww!” and it seems to be working.
TikTok keeps removing the video and I’m pretty sure I’m shadowbanned on here because of the song title, so all of you queer folks showing up to get the word out about it has been very cool. (I see you, Dan Savage! I see you, Queerty! I see you, EastSiders TV family! I see you, other gays!)
Kill Rock Stars and I love you in a way that the homophobic algorithm has marked as adult. 🏳️🌈🧸
10 more days! Big thanks to Alessandro Michele and the team at Gucci and Gucci Portland for dressing and bejeweling me again for this thing; to Barneys for all of the leather; to Tiffany & Co. for the custom Tiffany Hardwear jewelry pieces; and to all of the mask-makers featured in the video.
Thanks also to Gino Mari for co-writing/producing/mixing the song; Stephan Hawkes for mixing and mastering; and Russ Galusha and Lilia Berenice Hernandez Galusha for editing this dumb, horny, high fashion film thingy I shot myself while we were doing all of the photos for my new record, and turning said dumb horniness into a music video.
