Being a Queer Lady Magician to me means sharing the truths of our lives in unexpected, thought-provoking ways, instilling a sense of wonder, expanding our imaginations around what is possible.

Would you like to pull a blue feather out of someone else’s orifice with your teeth? We have a video for that! Would you like to re-enact the most iconic scene from the first X Files movie? We also have a video for that.

Sweet jams for making sweet sweet love or the opposite of that.

“Thrashy all-female electro grunge rock with a side of angst.”

Summer may be half over, but the dance party is just beginning with these boss summer mixtapes. Put some beer in the cooler and get to it, Autostraddlers.

Time to play some catch-up! Soooo… Xtina and Gaga and gimp suits, oh my! What did you think of the video for “Not Myself Tonight?” We have a better music video with girls kissing in it anyhow. What about Obama’s bit at the White House Correspondents Dinner? Chris Colfer talking to Ellen about Lady Gaga!? Gaga amputation rumors are discussed! We bring you a new artist with portraits of trans people, and probably the best thing Paris Hilton has ever done.
