Introducing Quanah Style

Check out this just-released short documentary about one of my favourite Vancouver talents, Miss Quanah Style. That’s me and Quanah in the pic above. Photo by Bob Onoshi, taken at The Cobalt, Pride 2011! That was the very first time we met. There were no hellos or pleasantries. She just came up to me, grabbed my arm, and said, “We need a fucking picture!” Needless to say, I’ve adored her ever since.
