The Venus Of The Dancefloor

Queertronica Podcast

The Trans Day Of Remembrance is a day we mourn our siblings who were murdered because of the hatred towards trans people. One of the most popoular documented murder of a trans woman was Venus Xtravaganza, a young iconic Latina famous for her appearance in "Paris is Burning". She was found four days later, on Christmas day, strangled and hidden under a bed at the Duchess Hotel in New York. The murderer never got caught. The death of Venus still hurts so much, because we have a documented tape which shows the aspiring model so full of life with all of her dreams and hopes. She stands for so many young trans women who are murdered every day. This set is an homage to Venus and thus and homage to all the young girls gone too soon. As much as they want us dead, we will keep on living and dancing. This is not a mournful set, it is a set like Venus, vivid, cunt, sassy and sexy!
