Queerly Femmetastic

Brooklyn-bred bombshell Queerly Femmetastic is a nerdy connoisseur of Blackness. Her pronouns are she, her, and ma’am. Queerly is inspired by Black shake-dancers, strippers, and hoochie-coochie girls across generations. She is an internationally renowned ecdysiast, who's most recent title is Miss Subways 2024. Queerly loves the smell of books, practicing sneaky splits, and the feeling of your money on her skin.
