Ep.10/ Live- Themme Fatale

11 Jan

Gosh it’s good to talk with someone also both hot and funny! Themme Fatale was a hoot, I’m glad they successfully escaped the tepid waters of their assigned gender at birth (listen to the ep, this will make more sense).

They entertained the crowd and myself at a mask-mandatory live event at passionfruit sensuality shop in august 2024. Much awaited recording now here!

LISTEN NOW

Themme Fatale is an internationally and locally award winning sideshow-slinging drag clown, whom you might have seen performing exciting feats with staplers, broken glass, or fire. We hosted this conversation live for an audience at Passionfruit Shop in August 2024, photos below!

We covered so many topics and had so many mentions, I’ve done my best to compile some useful links here:

Bloodsisters, the MUST-SEE 1995 doco on Leatherdykes and S/M (watch here with a valid library card, or hear about it here on Girls, Guts, and Giallo, the best horror podcast out there hosted by lesbian vampire, Annie Rose Malamet)

I mentioned Tina Horn, of ‘Why Are People Into That?’ fame, I can’t wait to read her book too! (many incredible trans guests, highly recommend both of the above).

Kate Kenfield’s ‘sex geekdom’ work, ‘Beacon of Permission’ concept, still really useful.

Archie Bongiovanni and their fisting guide, amongst other things. If you dig deep enough into the internet, you might find their old sex podcast, “Fist You Podcast”

Game theory and the Magic Circle, which I heard about from the wonderful David Harris who co-directs the wonderful local (and very trans friendly) Dance of Ribbons LARP.

On being hot and Covid-safe, I’d highly recommend this article on mask wearing from Autostraddle.

If you’re interested in Sex Menus, or Yes/No/Maybe lists, I like the De Wit one, or this one has a more extensive kink-focused vibe.

Themme Fatale is also known wonderfully online for great meme Venn Diagrams, so go searching through their feed for the good stuff.

For your local leather needs, definitely check out Littlewood Leather, can’t recommend highly enough.
