EVENTS
I’ve been public speaking on sexy topics since 2017. In 2022 I teamed up with producer Daisy Hale and the Sexy Sermons series was born. Think of these events like being wrapped up in a squidgy hug of knowledge. We host in-person and online events on the following topics, and everyone’s invited.
Big Gay Prom
I’ve been hosting this Margate Pride fundraiser since 2022. Big Gay Prom is a safe and silly event for local LGBTQIA+ folks to come together for the prom night of our dreams. Everyone rocks up in their best 80s-inspired prom looks, and every year it’s a surprisingly emotional night as, for many of us, it’s an opportunity to honour our younger, closeted selves who didn’t yet know we’d be able to find queer community like this.
With local drag acts, impassioned Mean Girls-inspired speeches, and cheesy slow dances, the night is filled with tears, love and a lot of hairspray.
body love sketch club
Rosy Pendlebaby and I founded Body Love Sketch Club in 2018. This life drawing class was born out of the transformative experiences we’d both had as life models, and our desire to create a life drawing space where participants could experience the duality of drawing and being drawn.
In 2024 I stepped down from facilitating classes. Rosy and the rest of the team host monthly events which I highly recommend, tickets are available here.
Radical Romps
I’ve learnt a lot through attending the London Porn Film Festival over the years, and it was a dream to create a night inspired by these spaces as part of Margate Pride 2022.
As Pride events become more widely accepted, there’s also a risk of them becoming sanitised. This event was an opportunity to celebrate queer filth and some of my favourite filmmakers in the ethical porn space, screening works from Four Chambers, Aorta Films, Mondo Fetiche, and the Fuck the Fascism series. This was a curious space where we could reflect on what it means to commune with the queer sexual body.
