 FROM
THE EDITOR
LESS MEAT, LESS BOOZE… MORE SEX
Our sexual desires
remain instinctive but
the way we consume sex
commercially is evolving…
Welcome to the future with our Next Big Thing issue.
W elcome to the Next Big Things issue of DNA, where we get
excited about the trends that are happening in fashion,
culture, technology and sex… all the things we love.
The only thing I’m not really
across in this issue is gaming.
Our story makes the next big
things in gaming sound very
exciting, and it is the most
lucrative entertainment sector
in the world, but it hasn’t
grabbed me yet. The last time I
“gamed” was when Tomb Raider
came out and all I could get Lara
Croft to do was walk into a wall!
I know, a lot has changed since
then. For instance, one of the
newest games is called Tell Me
Why and features a transgender
character and her twin, who are
searching for clues to their past.
That’s a pretty big leap forward
from big-breasted cyber-femmes
hunting radioactive mutant
zombies.

DNA at Cirque Du Soleil.
DNA GOES TO INTO THE KURIOS CABINET
This month we had the privilege of working with the team at Cirque
Du Soleil, who invited us behind the velvet curtain of their current
touring show, Kurios – Cabinet Of Curiosity to shoot a fashion story.
It was an amazing experience. Cirque Du Soleil may look magical
and surreal when you’re watching the show, but behind the scenes
it’s like clockwork and there’s an almost military precision.
The images by Christian Scott, which you’ll find in this issue
(pages 36-41), are beautiful and among the best we’ve ever shot
for DNA. The day of the shoot itself was wonderful. The Cirque
performers and stage crew were friendly, generous with their
time and creativity, and so much fun to work with. I recommend
running away to join the circus!
Now, you might think that sex is sex and there’s not much that can be
“new” in that department. While our sexual desires remain instinctive
(and pretty basic!) the way we consume sex commercially is evolving at a
rapid pace. Porn stars like Alam Wernik, Carter Dane and cover boy Ian
Frost are using new media and new technology to shake up the industry.
OnlyFans is challenging the dominance of the traditional studios, porn
stars are using social media to meet the needs of their followers directly,
and even the sex toys available are smarter than ever, utilising apps and
GPS technology, not to mention 3D experiences. You can find out all about
it in this issue.
As the world warms and we become more mindful of sustainable
practices, two green-friendly trends have made our list this year: one is
the global shift towards a less meat-based diet – good for you, good for
the planet. The other is a simple and welcome return to shaving with a
safety razor. How much plastic are we throwing away every year with
disposable razors and their replacement heads, not to mention the waste
created by aerosol and plastic shave cream containers?
Other Next Big Thing trends in this issue include new queer musicians,
profiled by Entertainment writer Marc Andrews, and fabulous new
gadgets gathered by Style guy Joshua Heath (cameras, bikes, bags,
footwear, recycled sunnies). And Conall Ferguson writes about the
decline in alcohol consumption across the Western World. The last few
years have seen a downward trend in consumption, and the younger
you are the less alcohol you’re drinking, so it appears to be a next-gen
Santiago Albelo powered phenomenon. LGBTIQ alcohol consumption is significantly
by Adrian C Martin. higher than among the general population so perhaps this is one trend
we should be paying particular attention to.

HOT MEN! HOT TOPICS! HOT READERS’ LETTERS!
Ed: Hi Peter, DNA will never stop publishing
the print issue. While many publishers
jumped on the digital bandwagon to
replace their print editions, DNA made the
decision never to replace print when we
launched our Digital and Online versions
over 15 years ago. There is, of course, a
strong market for just the Digital Editions,
but the print market is equally strong and
growing for DNA.
We decided to offer the Digital Editions
complimentary to Print subscribers from
day one. That way our Print subscribers
are getting all the benefits of Digital
(portability, bonus pages) without having
to give up the much-loved Print Edition. We
love that you are still enjoying it.

GAY TEEN FIGHTS BACK AGAINST
HOMOPHOBIC BULLY
As reported on the DNA website.
Gay youth can
be an easy
target; if not
addressed it can
scar you forever.
Very glad, and
proud that this
kid defended
himself. I
applaud him. It makes me think of that Brady
Bunch episode where Cindy was getting
bullied and after speaking with the bully’s
parents, Mike and Carol allowed Peter to
fight back against the bully. Fighting isn’t
necessarily the answer but sometimes the
best place for a bully is on the floor with a
bloody nose. – Michael Corradetti
One gets tired of abuse. Violence is never the
answer but I understand it in some cases.
– Misho Andonov
Atta boy… bitch slap that piece of shit to the
ground. – Dean Thomas
Heroes come in all shapes and sizes.
– Marc Anthony Sampson
Appalling. – Marc Williams
I don’t normally condone violence but some
people are so thick it’s the only language they
understand. – Rob Willis
This is a failure of the school to bring the bully
to brook. When the legal and recognised
modes of control fail maybe violence is the
only way. Sad but true. The teacher and the
school authorities need to be fired.
– Peter Edmund Inojosa
I don’t condone violence, physical or verbal…
but you beautiful Gay Mtha Fkr! Well done
for standing up for yourself and teaching that
piece of shit a lesson! Noticing how he’s not
man enough to fight back but quite happy to
mouth off. – Scottie Marks

REVIEWS BY MARC ANDREWS
FRANK OCEAN – DHL
His first new song in two years is a nod to
the German logistics company, of all things,
featuring some overtly out lyrics: “Boy toy
suck me like Hoover / Boy toy ride me like a
Uber”. Frank also details how he has, “Got my
partner in the front, been my BF for a month
/ But we been fuckin’ from the jump.” DHL
was reportedly inspired by a night of Berlin
clubbing – say no more! Alongside recent
experimental tracks Dear April and Cavendo it suggests Frank will
unleash a new album any minute now focused on dance music. “The
things I look at now have a lot to do with Detroit, Chicago, techno, house,
French electronic,” he revealed. DHL, please deliver us that one quickly.
MADISON AVENUE –
DON’T CALL ME BABY 2019
Twenty years ago, an unknown act from
Australia knocked Britney Spears’ Oops… I
Did It Again from the top of the UK charts.
What was even more impressive about this
feat was Don’t Call Me Baby is now considered
Australia’s first homegrown dance record
to go global. After a few more hits, the pair,
Andy Van and Cheyne Coates, parted not so
amicably. Andy became a bigwig dance entity while Cheyne briefly
tried it solo before returning to more mundane songwriting chores. To
celebrate Baby’s 20-year milestone, a slew of new versions have been
commissioned – the Mousse T remixes add a Eurodisco feel (think Ibiza
podiums with glitterbombs), while the Super Disco Club Remix reinvents
it into a boogie anthem. #Babysback!

LAUV – HOW I’M FEELING
Lauv’s claim to being a pop visionary might just come true with
this album’s release in March. You may not have heard of him
but he’s been busy. He’s just completed a sold-out Australian
tour, and teamed up with Troye Sivan on I’m So Tired (complete
with a video of them as a gay couple cruising together), and had
another hit via Fuck I’m Lonely with Anne-Marie from Netflix’s
13 Reasons Why. Lauv is also a self-proclaimed “one-man boy
band” and invented six personas or “little Lauvs” for this debut.
Represented by purple is existential Lauv, blue is hopeless
romantic Lauv, green is goofy Lauv, yellow is positive Lauv,
orange is fuckboy Lauv and red is spicy Lauv. He says the record
is “about embracing
personality and all
its different aspects”
and insists How I’m
Feeling “is the first
time I’m embracing
all the parts that make
me who I am”. To
that end, his recent
Sims hit – with video
demonstrating how
well he wears rainbow
tanktops – is but one
of 21 tracks here.
KELE – 2042
Kele claims his new album was inspired by
how racist his native UK has become in the age
of Brexit, while the title comes from the year
minorities will become the majority in the US.
First single, Guava Rubicon, is not only a sly,
slinky tribute to the power of black women, but
signals a return to the indie rock sound where
Kele made his name as part of ’90s British
supergroup Bloc Party. The video wears its
queer credentials openly with a loving and “real” London lesbian couple
taking centerstage. Other titles Jungle Bunny, Let England Burn, Natural
Hair and A Day Of National Shame let you know that Kele is mad as hell
and not going to take it anymore.
PET SHOP BOYS – HOTSPOT
For their 14th studio album Neil and Chris

complete with ill-fitting garments and hair

the third installment in the series of PSB
albums produced by Stuart Price who rescued
Madonna from the dumper with 2005’s
Confessions On A Dance Floor. The lackluster
Dreamland, featuring Years & Years comes across like a PSB cover band
doing a parody, while soft rock powerballad Burning The Heather (no, we
kid you not about this!), seems an odd choice to launch an album mostly
recorded in Berlin. Thankfully, we have the duo’s global greatest hits tour,
Dreamworld, to look forward to later in 2020.

BY GEORGE, SHE’S GOT IT!

Sexually fluid vocalist George
Maple is not just a Magic Woman –
her new single is, too!
By Marc Andrews.

DNA: We’ve needed another George in pop.

Welcome to the club!
George: Thank you! I’m happy to be here
amongst the Georges. [Laughs.]
What do you think the other George M
(George Michael) would make of your music?
Oh, my, I have no idea. I hope he’d like it.
Tell us a little bit about you.
I grew up on Sydney’s northern beaches and
started writing songs at aged 9 or 11. I’ve always
felt the need to express myself in creative forms
and it’s evolved into the tapestry of my existence
now. I’m grateful for every single day I’m given
an opportunity to write, perform, dress up, show
up, or some kind of esoteric magic.

I love men in very little

clothing, however, I’ll
always melt for a man
in a suit.
You’re signed to hot Australian label etcetc
alongside PNAU. Nice work!
The team is so impressive and kind, which
is something I value after years of mixed
experiences in the industry.
How would you describe your music?
I’m relatively fluid with my style. I like to
journey across different styles and explore. I
love techniques that break tradition and yet
also pay homage to the fundamentals of pop art
and music.
What brought about your move from
Australia to LA?
LA was always where I wanted to end up
creatively. It’s about being around strong,
creative energy every day. LA has a similar
vibe to Australia – it’s cruisy and relaxed,
particularly in the suburbs
Your single, Magic Woman is beautiful, harsh
and thoughtful. Is there more of this to come?
There are quite a few dimensions. There are a
more fun, upbeat moments to come.
Tell us about your performance show Utopia.
Utopia is a conceptual performance based
on a film synopsis I wrote last year. It’s an
experiment with different performance
techniques and collaborations across different
multimedia fields. I ended up directing,
writing, producing, stage designing, lighting
designing, creating visuals, dialogue, music
directing across the course of a few months.
What’s the worst job you’ve ever had?
Pizza Hut when I was 14. I realised very quickly
it wasn’t for me and that I could make a lot
more money singing jazz covers at the local
restaurant.
Do you have many LGBT folks in your circle?
I’m quite fluid with my sexuality and so are
most of my friends. There’s a regular club
occurrence in LA called Rhonda where we
often go. It’s a great night. One of my up-coming
singles was inspired by an evening out at
Rhonda.
What does Gay Pride mean to you?
A celebration, and freedom of expression.
Who’s your diva?
Donna Summer or Diana Ross.
Is world domination part of your game plan?
[Laughs.] Over the last few years I’ve learned
what I really care about. For me, it’s all about
the creation and the process itself. As long as
I’m able to do that, I’m cool. We shall see what
the cards hold.
Who would you most like to go on a date with?
A young Paul Newman.
What’s the one thing that might surprise
people about you?
I love to box.
Describe yourself in five words.
Curious, complex, imaginative, passionate,
brave.
Men in speedos – share with us your most
intimate thoughts, please!
I love men in very little clothing, however,
I’ll always melt for a man in a suit.
What’s your message to readers of DNA?
Thank you for existing and always dancing
and inspiring such incredible moments in the
history of pop, art and culture.

HISTORIES
SIGNS OF A STRUGGLE
By Guy James Whitworth
This thoroughly original book is a memoir like
no other. Whitworth is a visual artist who tells
his story through a series of vibrant, colourful
art works and his intimate reflections and
anecdotes behind them.
This loose structure might seem a bit limiting
but Whitworth has a very distinctive and
engaging authorial voice and is also prone to
some very entertaining digressions. A colourful
panel of 10 bicycle portraits unexpectedly leads
to the author confiding his sex work past – as
a short-lived rent boy in Earls Court, London,
and then to a more successful career as a phone
sex operator. Though he does feel slighted
that the escort agency suggested he move into

that’s what Kermit said? I’m not

Going green in grooming, the best place to
start is with the shave and I’m happy to say
that the Next Big Thing is very much a nod to

So, if you’re still shaving, even if it’s just your

time go green and buy yourself a safety razor
and all the gorgeous creams and brushes that
go with it.
Your granddad probably shaved with what’s

THE
KIND
SHAVE
called a safety razor. Over the past 20 years
we’ve all been bamboozled giddy with hype
above shaver “technology”. But I’m here to tell
you that safety razors still give a better shave, in
the long run are more economical and, if that
isn’t enough, the blades are fully recyclable, so
using them will help save the polar bears.
Even if you aren’t concerned about the
environment (sad face emoji) and you’re all
about you (hair flick emoji), another benefit
is that safety razors look gorgeous atop your
marble bathroom vanity (eyeroll emoji).
To get you started you need the following…
THE RAZOR
Shaving with a safety razor reduces skin
irritation because you only have one blade
against your skin at any time. Yes, it will
take more time but my advice is to enjoy the
experience. Personally, I’m rarely that satisfied
with a quickie anyway.
THE BRUSH
A shaving brush lifts the hair from the face
ADOBE STOCK
making it easier for the razor to cut the hair
close to the skin. One thing, though, is keeping
them clean and dry, preferably in the sun. I
dated a guy who used one that was always
damp. Our time together was brief and that was
one of the reasons.
THE CREAM
So why a cream in a tin and not a can of
shaving cream? It’s not so much a green issue
as aerosol cans are recyclable – but make sure
it’s completely empty as it can’t be recycled if it
still has cream in it. The real benefit of creams
that you use with a brush is that they have no
alcohol in them, and they soften the hair far
more effectively than canned creams. Making
for an easier shave and happier skin!

like Midsumma Festival! Matt Myers

M
elbourne’s Midsumma Festival
has been running over 30 years,
and is one of the highlights on
the Australian LGBTIQ calendar.
Art exhibitions, showcases, talks, cultural
programs and even dog shows make up the
near month-long event, which encompasses
education, community awareness and tons
of LGBTIQ pride. The Pride March, which
traditionally concludes the Midsumma
Festival, in St Kilda, celebrates its 25th
anniversary this year.
Considering that Midsumma comprises 194
events across 98 venues, it’s no surprise to see

it pulling crowds of up to 110,000 at Carnival
Day alone.
One of the major presentations taking place
this year will be Queer Unsettled, a provocative
program, delving into themes of colonisation.
As an interpretation piece, it combines live
music, moving images and various exhibitions.
The Nocturnal x Midsumma: Lunar New
Year Disco will feature Drag Race darlings from
Thailand in a celebration of the Chinese New
Year at Melbourne Museum After Dark, and
Blow is a celebration of Indigenous femmes and
Pacific womxn of colour told through cultural
drag and dance.
An intriguing event will be Famili, which
unpacks daddy issues through the queer lens
and Dark Sepia, involving stories created
through carving, tattooing and printmaking.
Equally interesting will be The Sky After
Rain, which tells true stories of queer Iranian
migration and diaspora.
A long-time favourite of the festival is the
Midsumma and Australia Post Art Award
exhibition at the Arts Centre Melbourne,
Hamar Hall. This year it features celebrity
guests Bob Downe, Tom Ballard, Nath Valvo,
Dolly Diamond and Drag Race Thailand’s

 OUR STRAIGHT
MATES BY MATTHEW MYERS
From Bondi Vet to The Living
Room, we love Dr Chris Brown
on TV, especially with desperate
celebrities stranded in the jungle!

DNA: Along with Julia Morris, you’ve hosted

I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here for a few
seasons now. Has there been a standout
moment?
Dr Chris Brown: It’s those times where it gets
flipped on its head and, as hosts, we have the
pain inflicted on us. That’s usually a result
of me being stupidly bold enough to think I
can be better than the celebrities at eating
disgusting things or performing difficult feats.
On one occasion, Shane Warne [cricket player]
couldn’t eat a dish called Surstromming, which
is pickled herring. I thought I’d show them and
decided to eat it. I thought my job as a vet had
given me a strong stomach, but it promptly
came back up, on set and on TV!
Do you ever feel emotional when certain
contestants leave the jungle?
Yeah, it’s not just the viewers who learn a lot
about them, we do too, and they become our
favourites. There are times we’re disappointed
they’re going home because they’ve given
so much. They let us into their world and
tell us about their new take on life from the
experience. It’s cathartic and you can’t help
bonding. It’s the people who really get under
our skin and fire back that we like!
You really enjoy the show, don’t you?
It’s my favourite time of year! I get to go on
a working holiday in a part of the world that
intrigues me. I get to do vet work on the
weekends with different animals. It’s an
amazing dream.
You get to do vet work on African wildlife?
IS YOUR
PYTHON
Yes, because I’ve got to know the local vets and
if they’ve got a tricky case or need an extra pair
of hands they give me a call. Some cases are
serious and some are bizarre. For instance, we
had to retrieve four lions that escaped from
Kruger National Park and ended up on a cattle
farm. Obviously they were having a great time
there! I had to capture the lions before anyone

It’s become accepted that there are
homosexual relationships in a lot of species,
and probably all species, to be honest. There
are two male penguins in Sydney’s Wild Life

the best rigs on the planet! Beau’s a lot of fun,
and no one takes better care of their rig than
him. It’s very kind, what he says, but I think he
should be talking about himself!
Who’s your gay man crush?
I know Beau’s desperate for me to say him but
that would be too easy! I love the guys from
Mumford And Sons. They toured last year, but
I missed them because my favourite bands all
tour around January while we’re filming.
You’re often compared to cartoon characters

Every time a new Toy Story film comes out, I get
Buzz Lightyear. He always gets a good run.

To be honest, I think it’s just the jaw!

Chesty Bonds.
Well, they’ve got to pay for it! I’m sick of giving
them the free publicity. [Laughs.] That’s why
you don’t see me in a white singlet. I’m basically
just an ad for them!
Who is the most impressive person you’ve
ever met?
Nelson Mandela, which was a pretty incredible
and profound moment, but I buggered it up.
It was one of those times where you meet
someone you really look up to and it goes
of education but I just
skipped a lecture and
look how well it worked
out for me!” He gave me a
completely non-plussed
look, politely shook my
hand and walked off,
leaving me to regret that
moment for the rest of my life!
Well, it’s probably better than, “Who would
you turn gay for!”
[Laughing.] That’s true!
Once on The Living Room you pretended to be
an American soap star. What’s the story about
how that almost came true?
One of the shows I do in the US is on CBS, and
while I was there doing publicity an appearance
on The Bold And The Beautiful was part of the
schedule. I was concerned that they thought I
was an actor rather than a vet, but if they did
want me to act, I’d go along with it. I decided to
have a go. My character was meant to be Ridge’s
Australian nephew. I learned my script. But, the
day before, someone from production called
checking on my work visa. I had a journalist
visa, which didn’t qualify me to act, so at the
last minute the whole thing was canned. But we
did have Katherine Kelly Lang [Brooke Logan]
in the jungle with us so it feels like I’ve done The
Bold And The Beautiful!
Who has been the greatest influence on your
career?
My dad. He still works as a vet. I learned a lot
of skills from him but I also learned the really
important stuff, like how to relate to people and
comfort them in their time of need. I respect his
compassion and have tried to make that part of
my life as well.
Do you have a grooming tip for us?
I don’t wash my hair. It probably sounds
gross but if you don’t shampoo your hair,
which removes all the natural oils, then it will
normalise itself. If you can get through the first
month of not washing it, your hair will be more
manageable. I swim in the ocean every day and
find salt from the sea is enough.
Have you ever had a wardrobe malfunction?
On I’m A Celebrity a couple of years back, I wore
a very tight pair of shorts for a trial episode and
Carson Kressley was a contestant. He informed
me that he was finding it hard to focus on the
trial because he could see my moose knuckle.
At the time I wasn’t familiar with the term and,
thanks to the poor African internet, I couldn’t
Google it either. So I had to draw my own
conclusions, which turned out to be correct!
Briefs, fitted boxers or free balling?
I’ve always been a briefs man. I find boxers too
loose and they ride up. With briefs you know
where they’re going to be and they do their job
holding everything in place!

hen it comes to underwear, we
all have three wishes: sexy fit,
great feel, and a good bludge.
Teamm8’s Super Low Brief ticks
all the boxes.
The Super Low Brief was only the second brief
released in the Teamm8 collection and it turned
out to be an instant classic.
“It became a best-seller almost immediately,”
says Teamm8 founder and Creative Director,
Michal Nicolas, “and remains today, ten years
later, our best-selling underwear. Only a couple
of adjustments have been made over the years to
make it the perfect cut.”
Part of this brief’s perfect cut is the flattering
way it portrays the bulge.
“We did a lot of work to make sure you get
just the right pouch and fit. You want a pouch
that emphasises but most
importantly is super comfortable
for all-day wear. There is a little
secret in the design that achieves
this but, yes, we’ll keep that
under our belts!”
Why these colours? Is there
a trend away from basic whites
and blacks?
“Black is always a best-seller,”
says Michal, “but, yes, there has
definitely been a move away
from white. We always keep
black as a staple in the Super
Low Collection but we add fresh
new colours every year to the
line. We choose charcoal and
navy for your more subdued
tones and add mint green and
hot pink! We find our guys love it
when we add these pop colours.”
And it’s all about pleasing
the boys!
“It sure is,” agrees Michal.

FEATURE

STRIKE A
POSE
In Pose he plays
Lemar Abundance;
in life he was
a child of the
House Of Ninja.
Jason Anthony
Rodriguez tells
Mike Hitch
about the art of
voguing and the
responsibility
he shares with
Madonna.

W
hen Madonna released
Vogue in 1990, the dance
style known as voguing
became internationally fa-
mous overnight. To a lesser
extent, the New York Ballroom scene, where
voguing originated, was also revealed.
Ballroom culture of the 1980s was populated
by the queer and trans people of colour who
pioneered the artistic movement, many of
whom were living with HIV/AIDS.
Three decades later, Ryan Murphy’s critically
acclaimed TV series, Pose recreates that world
and celebrates the trans, queer and gender
non-conforming Ballroom habitués.
Jason Anthony Rodriguez, better known
from Pose as Lemar Abundance/Wintour, is
considered one of the best voguers in the world.
Initially training at the legendary House Of
Ninja under Ballroom legend Benny Ninja, he
has since mastered the art and now teaches it,
from London to Tokyo to Kentucky.
Rodriguez is on the phone to DNA as he’s
hailing a cab. It’s morning in New York City
and he’s on his way to his first dance class
of the day. He says he prides himself on his
ability to multitask. As the only teacher of New
Wave Vogue in the United States and a master
of all three voguing styles, he’s clearly a man of
many talents.
Playing Lemar, a young voguer and Ballroom
child of Elektra Abundance (Dominique
Jackson) for the past two seasons of Pose has
only honed his craft further, he says.
“My favourite experience would be absorbing
the skill sets that my other cast members have,”
he says. “It’s helped my dancing because it’s
helped me tap into a little bit of acting. As
dancers we do act, but we don’t have the skill
sets of trained actors, so I get to have more
performance in my dancing.
“Pose is pretty much my first professional
acting job and just being around Angelica
(Candy Ferocity) and Billy Porter and the
greatness that they are is incredibly important
for me,” he says.
Rodriguez found refuge and solace in
the Ballroom scene at a young age. “It was
a haven for the outcast queer community
and particularly for people of colour who
have always felt like ‘something else’,” says
Rodriguez, now 29-years-old “but still looking
like 20”.
“I was born and raised in Washington
Heights in New York, which is like the mecca
of Dominicans. As a queer Dominican and a
person of colour, I would step out of my house
and people would be judging me, so I was
pretty introverted.”
However, once Rodriguez met and began
studying dance under Benny Ninja, everything
changed. “That was when things clicked for
me. I felt like I had an opportunity to learn what
it felt like to be empowered, what it felt like to
have a presence, to be seen and unbothered by
what other people think of you.”
Benny Ninja was a self-taught vogue artist
and father of the House Of Ninja, a crown
passed to him by the late Willi Ninja, who
features in the documentary Paris Is Burning.
“I saw this person [Benny Ninja] who was
so fashion-forward, he vogued, he was Puerto

34 DNA
Rican, he had a shaved head and always wore
sunglasses. He was a master in himself. So I
learned to be the best myself I can be and, after
training, I was working on myself, my identity,
my masculinity and my femininity to complete
all the layers that I am today.”
Rodriguez attributes Benny Ninja as his
inspiration and the person who introduced him
to the notion of a Ballroom House as being a
chosen queer family.
“Now, because of Pose, a lot of people are
interested in the Ballroom scene and want to
learn about it. I’m sure that when Madonna
came out with Vogue, people were interested
in what the dance form was – but Pose has
educated the world about what Ballroom
culture is about, where it comes from, who the
people in it are and what trans women do to
exist in this realm.
“It sheds light on that world and the
subculture while also creating more
acceptability for trans women and queer people
of colour. It’s great to have more accessibility,
to have more strength, to see themselves on TV
and make more of themselves. To give them the
message that they’re valuable and they have
something to bring to this world.”
However, while Pose has educated millions,
Rodriguez says that the series’ most significant
educational impact has been within the queer
community itself.
“It’s impacted cis-gendered gay white men by
correcting their education,” he notes. “When
I tell people I vogue, they say, ‘Oh, yeah, that
Madonna song!’ and I’m like, ‘Yeah, it’s a
reference, but she didn’t create it.’ You go to a
Ball, and it’s people competing for survival, to
make money, to redeem themselves, they might
have an issue with somebody and they’re trying
to clear it on the dance floor,” he says.
Madonna is still a figure of some contention
within the Ballroom scene, regarded by some as
a cultural appropriator.
Rodriguez rejects this view and believes
Madonna’s “boost” to queer culture has had
ongoing positive effects.
Her Vogue was a whole year behind Malcolm
McLaren’s tribute to the great Ballroom Houses
on his 1989 album Waltz Darling with its iconic
single Deep In Vogue featuring Willi Ninja
himself. However, while a modest commercial
success, Waltz Darling had nowhere near the
broad cultural impact of Vogue, which became
one of Madonna’s biggest hits. Madonna also
had a greater affinity with the gay community,
as it was then, than McLaren did.
Rodriguez believes the global success of
Vogue was instrumental in establishing artistic
careers for Ballroom scene members.
“While we had seen it in music videos before,
this was the first moment it was a hot-shot
pop sensation who had this dance form in her
music videos,” he says. “I mean, seeing Luis and
Jose Xtravaganza touring the world – these are
people who were competing out on the streets –
and now they had a full-on careers!”
Luis and Jose were among the dancers
who toured in Madonna’s Blonde Ambition
and became famous through the In Bed With
Madonna documentary. They also performed in
the Vogue video and at the MTV awards with her.
“I give her credit. She could’ve done that
with white men, she could’ve done it with
Bollywood, but she chose vogue, and it had a
major impact on our community.”
Madonna’s close connection to the House
Of Ninja and Billy Ninja himself have shaped
Rodriguez’ opinions. “He helped her to
vogue, and she gave opportunities back to the
Ballroom individuals who helped her. So, yeah,
I’ll give her snaps!
“I wouldn’t say she appropriated the culture –
I think it’s more that the culture simplified what
the dance form is about.”
Rodriguez understands that the House Of
Ninja legacy is not only carried by him but
by Madonna – a responsibility the two now
inadvertently share.
“We are definitely carrying his legacy and
that of the people who trained him. Richard
Ninja and Willi Ninja and Javier Ninja – all
these people poured their time and energy
into me. I carry them in all the movements I
have. All the lines, all the poses – it all comes
from them, but drawn through my creative
perspective.”
Billy Ninja helped
Madonna to vogue,
and she gave
opportunities back to
Ballroom individuals…
So, yeah, I’ll give her
snaps!
Rodriguez cites a wide range of other
influences, from fashion to architecture to
anime. “Anything that’s empowering I try to
incorporate in my movement. The lines that
ballet dancers make with their legs – I try to
make with my arms. That’s the simple basics
of vogue; creating lines and shapes while
framing your face. It’s seen in all three styles of
vogueing,” he says.
“Old Wave Vogue is the first style you saw in
New York City. Then there’s New Wave Vogue,
the style Jose Xtravaganza and Benny Ninja do,
which takes Old Wave and adds stretches and
contortionism. Then you have Vogue Femme,
which you see all over the place; it’s very feminine,
dropping into dips and just going crazy.
New Wave Vogue is Rodriguez’ preferred
style and can be seen in Paris Is Burning. Along
with catwalk, it takes inspiration from ancient
hieroglyphic shapes.
Jason Anthony
Rodriguez as
Lemar in Pose.
“The hieroglyphs create lines and boxes with
the arms, which creates an extension of who
you are. You walk into a ball and you’re like,
‘I’m here, my arms are up, and I’m about to step
onto the floor’,” he shouts excitedly, snapping
his fingers.
Rodriguez feels that he is not only passing
on his knowledge through instruction but
also creating a collective memory through his
performances on Pose.
“It’s tough. Not many people are trained in
the style, so I feel like my mission right now is
to take on individuals and train them so I can
keep nurturing these seeds that’ll continue to
expand this type of vogue.”
The survival of voguing and the existence
of Pose is empowering young queer people of
colour, Rodriguez believes. “I’m trying to be
present for the ones who show up and learn a
dance from their culture and their community.
It can help them figure out life and the people
they want to be. It’s also important for them to
turn on the TV and see someone that represents
them; makes them feel like they can seek a gay
mother or gay father to give them options that
help them with their identity.”
In the future, Rodriguez wants to lead his
current house, The House Of Xtravaganza,
as their Father, caring for and educating the
house “children”.
“I hope to be a father of a house and a father
within my own home someday. I already have
‘children’ right now who I take care of and
that’s great practice for the future,” he says as
he enters his dance studio to warm up for the
beginning of practice.
“They give me headaches, they waste my
money, I have to pick up the phone every time
they call, but I love being that person. It’s the
best money ever spent, the best time ever spent
and the best me that I can be at this moment.”

 GOING
VEGAN

44 DNA

ADOBE STOCK
Once derided as culinary killjoys,
vegans were way ahead of the
trend. The plant-based diet is
increasing in popularity, writes
Conall Ferguson.
V
eganism, once seen as fringe, has
well and truly gone mainstream.
And it’s not just the estimated
1.2 million American and 500,000 vegan
Aussies who are feeling the upsides; some
of entertainment’s biggest names including
Benedict Cumberbatch, Miley Cyrus, Zac Efron,
Ellen DeGeneres and Joaquin Phoenix all laud
the benefits of animal-friendly cuisine.
The reasons for this growth in popularity
are numerous. Many make the switch in order
to combat the effects of intensive farming or
animal cruelty, others to reduce their carbon
footprint and detract from the threat of climate
change. Some simply seek a healthier lifestyle.
But can a vegan diet really be good for us, or is
the hype masking some genuine downsides?
The key takeaway from the Australian Dietary
Guidelines is that a vegan diet can have a
positive impact on health, but that it must be
“appropriately planned” and must meet all our
energy needs through an “appropriate variety
of plant foods eaten throughout the day”. It
also cautions that those following a vegan diet
should choose foods that ensure an adequate
intake of iron, zinc and calcium. Variety and
balance are key and, as the popularity of
veganism grows, so too does the number of
products available to help achieve that.
Veganism has also found traction in the
world of professional sports, as seen in the
Netflix documentary, The Game Changers.
Directed by Oscar winner Louie Psihoyos and
featuring testimony from the likes of Arnold
Schwarzenegger and Lewis Hamilton, the
film examines modern attitudes about the
importance of meat in helping us achieve our
protein needs, and asks if we can achieve the
same or better results with only plant-based
foods. The subject of much conversation on
social media, chances are that if you haven’t
been urged by your friends to watch it already,
you soon will be.
What about the environmental impact of
going vegan? Earlier this year, the United
Nation’s Intergovernmental Panel On Climate
Change released a report that advised a serious
effort to cut down on the amount of meat and
dairy products we consume. Such products
require the clearing of considerable areas
of natural land (for example, forests) for
agriculture, and also produce extremely large
amounts of greenhouse gasses.
We have all been experiencing the effects of
this change in climate: the worsening drought
in eastern Australia increasing the intensity
and devastation of the bushfire season, the now
annual forest fires in California, the flooding
in norther UK, the rising sea levels in Asia, the
record high tides that flooded Venice…
But Veganism isn’t just about what you eat.
Many see their commitment extending beyond
the realms of the dinner table. Leather, wool
and silk are all out, as are products containing
animal-based derivatives, which includes many
soaps, balms and cosmetics. The same goes for
any products developed using animal testing.
So, if you find yourself considering making
the switch and going vegan in 2020, where
should you begin?
Pea protein is rich
in BCAAs to support
muscle building…
research suggests it’s
as effective as whey
protein.
PeTA offer a Vegan Starter Kit, which includes
lots of great tips about a plant-based lifestyle,
as well as several easy recipes to download for
free. For those unsure about how to achieve that
all-important variety in their diet, there are a
number of great cookbooks out there including
I Can Cook Vegan by Isa Chandra Moskowitz or
Vegan Eats by Rachel Ama.
If you have heavy protein needs and are
looking for a new way to get your fix after an
intense workout, try switching to soy or hemp
based supplements. Pea protein, derived from
yellow split peas is also a great way to meet
your targets; it’s rich in BCAAs to support
muscle building and preliminary research
suggests that it’s as effective as whey protein in
supporting muscle gain.
Even some energy drinks can contain animal
products in the form of amino acids. Newer
brands, like Doctor V, are proudly vegan.
When it comes to skincare and cosmetics,
you have loads of great brands to choose from.
BullDog, L’Occitane and Aesop all offer awesome
vegan products to help keep you looking your
best while being kinder to the planet.
Even the simplest of changes can help you
make more animal friendly choices: swap out
your regular latte fix for something with a soy or
nut milk, avoid cosmetics that include the likes
of collagen, keratin and lanolin as these are all
derived from animals, or forgo leather and wool
when buying clothes.
Going vegan, like any other major change,
isn’t always easy. If you have complex
nutritional needs so it’s important that you
check with a medical professional about what’s
best for you before embarking on the journey.
Furthermore, depending on your lifestyle,
it might not always be practical (or even
achievable) to fully make the switch, but with
a little bit of research and even a few simple
adjustments to your daily habits, your body,
your conscience and more importantly, the
planet, might just thank you.

 GOING
ALCOHOL
FREE
We all love a drink. Or do we…? The
current trend is going dry, writes Conall
Ferguson.
A
ccording to a recent report by Nielson
[Australia], more and more of us are
cutting down on our weekly alcohol
consumption with the rise of “mindful
drinking”. In fact, according to non-profit
Drinkwise, 20 per cent of us abstained from alcohol of
any kind in 2017 (an 11 per cent increase compared to
ten years previous). But what exactly are the benefits of
going tee-total?
In the short term, according to UK charity
DrinkAware, the most immediate difference you
should feel will be in your energy levels. Alcohol may
help you drift off to sleep quicker but it actually reduces
the overall quality of your sleep cycle, with drinkers
spending less time in deep restorative phases of sleep,
and more time in wakeful states such as REM. Cutting
down on your intake will see your sleep cycle return to
a more normal pattern, leaving you feeling refreshed
and well rested throughout the remainder of the day.
Cutting out or quitting booze will also
ADOBE STOCK
46 DNA
SHUTTERSTOCK
have a noticeable impact on your appearance.
Notwithstanding what we already know about the high
calorie counts of our favourite tipples, alcohol can very
quickly dehydrate us, which has a huge impact on the
appearance of our skin and eyes.
The good news is, you should see noticeable changes
very soon after cutting down.
Despite regularly emerging reports about the health
benefits of, say, one glass of wine a day, alcohol is, by
nature, a carcinogen (a type of chemical linked to
cancer). In the long term, those who go alcohol free can
expect to dramatically lower their risk of liver damage,
stroke, heart disease and a multitude of cancers.
But it’s not just our bodies that stand to benefit from
cutting out drink.
The links between alcohol and mental health
issues such as depression and anxiety are well
documented. While a few glasses can make us feel
more confident or less inhibited at first, long term use
can seriously disrupt the chemical processes of our
brain, disrupting neurotransmitters and lowering
our mood. Those who go alcohol free can expect to
feel a positive impact on their overall mental health,
as well as cognitive functions such as memory
retention.
 While it’s easy to see the advantages of an
alcohol-free lifestyle, going completely sober
is no mean feat. Reports have shown that
LGBT people in Australia are at higher risk of
substance abuse and, according to a 2016 study
by the Institute of Health And Welfare, 42 per
cent of people identifying as homosexual or
bisexual reported drinking at levels exceeding
single occasion risk guidelines, compared with
26 per cent of heterosexual people.
Add to this the fact that many queer spaces
are aligned with the sale of alcohol, with
local bars and clubs often the go-to choice for
those looking to socialise. Avoiding alcohol
altogether can feel like a daunting task.
However, as more people step away from
alcohol, new spaces and initiatives begin to
spring up to help ensure that a life without
booze doesn’t mean a life without fun. Take
the social group Untoxicated, created by Faye
Lawrence when she found herself increasingly
bored after going sober. Untoxicated meets
regularly in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne.
They describe themselves as “a thriving tribe of
around 3,500 sober curious people, passionate
about having a laugh, meeting new people and
smashing social norms along the way”.
What about the negative peer pressure
that comes along with cutting back? “It’s
something you hear over and over again,” says
Faye. “‘Don’t be so boring’ or ‘just have one’ or
people being ‘playfully’ threatened with being
disinvited from events.”
Faye’s advice? Brush it off and see where
going sober might lead you: “If you feel like you
want to give up – for whatever reason – then
give it a go,” she says. “It doesn’t have to be
forever, maybe just try it for a month with a
sense of curiosity and see how you feel.”

NEXT GEN GAMING
Not only are the games more
sophisticated, the computing
power behind them is revolutionary
in itself, writes Conall Ferguson.
G
aming isn’t just big business. It’s the
biggest.
The video games industry generated
approximately $US134.9 billion in 2018. That’s
over three times the estimated value of global
box office sales for the same year, which came
in at $US41.1 billion.
Whether on PC, consoles or, increasingly, our
mobile phones, the world’s appetite for gaming
is not letting up. And now, one of tech’s biggest
names wants in on the action.
Enter, Google Stadia.
The easiest way to explain Stadia? Think
Netflix but for gamers. Instead of individually
purchasing single games, users will pay a
recurring monthly subscription, granting them
access to a myriad of top titles. Similar, you
might say, to Sony’s Playstation NOW platform
only in this case, you don’t have to download
the games. You steam them instantly.
No storage? No problem!
The true key to Stadia’s power lies in what
comes in the box: a single controller. Gone are
the days of bulky consoles or disputes about
50 DNA
hogging the TV. Using your wireless controller
and a little Google magic you can start playing
on one screen and quickly switch over to
another. Start a game on your laptop, then
move it over to the TV to get a better view of
the action, or take the fun with you and play on
your phone as you commute to work.
As if all that wasn’t enough, the computing
power that allows Google to stream high
definition games to us in an instant will also
allow for MMOGs (or, massively multiplayer
online games) to get truly massive.
The current limits around gaming technology
mean that within online games it’s too much
of a strain on the system for every single player
to exist and interact on the same level. Instead,
they are split into groups across multiple
servers in their own separate (but identical)
versions of the game.
However, with the computing power behind
Stadia we may soon start to see games where
thousands of players can all co-exist on screen
simultaneously, playing, racing or battling
together – and you thought Fortnite was
challenging enough already!
Just as streaming services turned the music
industry on its head several years ago, Google
Stadia could very well spark a revolution in the
way we all access the titles we love.
As for up-coming games, we can’t wait to get
our hands on Tell Me Why, the latest offering
from the studio that brought us the critically
SHUTTERSTOCK
acclaimed Life Is Strange.
The game follows the story of identical twins
Alyson and Tyler, who share a supernatural
bond, as they retrace the events that drove them
apart ten years prior. With all the adventure,
depth and humanity that we have come to
expect from the French Dontnod Studios, this
game will be unique in that it will be the first to
feature a leading trans character.
When creating the character of Tyler (who
will be voiced by trans actor August Aiden
Black) the team were determined that he would
be truly multifaceted and rooted in real-world
experiences, so they consulted members of the
LGBTQ+ community as well as US non-profit
GLAAD during the development process.
“We did a lot of research, we reached out
to the community, we wanted to understand
their journeys,” says Game Director, Florent
Guillaume. “We were very naive at first and
they enlightened us a lot, they helped us review
the script and the characters and to reach out
to people.”
And it seems their efforts were a success.
In the words of Nick Adams, director of
Transgender Representation for GLAAD, “Tyler
is a fully realised, endearing character, whose
story is not reduced to simplistic trans tropes…
creating a playable lead trans character – and
taking such care to get it right – raises the bar
for future LGBTQ inclusion in gaming.”
Tell Me Why [pictured] is the
first game to feature a leading
trans character.

Lawrence was already taken – happy it was.

I identify as queer. My pronouns are he/him
and although I identify as male being a man

than what we’re taught.
My MySpace account

What was your coming out like?
Oh, my goodness… The first person I came out
to was my twin brother. He actually approached
me after seeing my MySpace account. I had
a glittery pink background and had written
“cOm3 gEt mE bOiiz” in the bio. He asked me
if I was gay and when I said yes. He just said
he loved me and gave me a hug. I was pretty
unapologetically myself as a child, so when I
started doing the rounds it wasn’t exactly met
with shock.
What made you decide you wanted to be a pop
diva?
A healthy diet of the Spice
Girls. [Laughs.] I used to race
home after school and dress up
as either Ginger or Posh and
spend my evenings pretending
to be on stage performing.
Hence the lack of shock factor
when coming out.
You’ve released three singles
so far – Radio Man, My Space
and Shine. How did they come
about?
I was taking a break from
making music a few years ago,
dealing with my mental health.
A friend of mine had released a
song produced by Sydney DJ/
Producer Bobby Gray. When
I heard it, I knew I needed to
work with him and we did.
I was also going through a
liberation of sorts, feeling
empowered and healthy. That’s
why the music is the way it is.
Your music has a very ’80s DIY
electro-pop sensibility. Is that
a fair assessment?
Yes, and I love that you picked
up on the DIY aspect.
You’ve played numerous gigs

Current productions will continue to tour the
country include Chicago, Come From Away,
The Book Of Mormon and Billy Elliot, which is
celebrating its 10th anniversary tour. The ever-
popular Harry Potter And The Cursed Child
continues to draw audiences at Melbourne’s
Princess Theatre.
The unique Australian musical comedy, Bran

will star Ernie Dingo, Teresa Moore and Marcus
Corowa. Written by Jimmy Chi, this Aboriginal
rock’n’roll’ musical makes a welcome return
after 30 years.
Bat Out Of Hell.
For fans of Meatloaf, Bat Out Of Hell: The
Rock Musical will tour Australia with an
international cast, premiering June in Sydney.
The Darlinghurst Theatre Company will be
present A Chorus Line, as well as Fluid with
Courtney Act. The Ensemble Theatre will stage

Also worth a look will be the production of
Angry Fags at the New Theatre, Newtown; the
Tarantino-esque story of good gays gone bad
stars Brynn Anthony, Phoebe Fuller and Lachie
Pringle.
Fun Home.
Melbourne’s Malthouse will stage an
adaptation of Christos Tsiolkas’ queer classic
Loaded, with Roy Joseph (Five Bedrooms) as Ari,
and Go To Hell featuring Paul Capsis and iOTA,
conjuring songs about angels and demons
while the apocalypse rains down.
The Melbourne and Sydney Theatre
Companies will co-produce the Broadway
success of Fun Home with a cast including
Adam Murphy (Aladdin), Lisa McCune (The
King and I) and Ryan Gonzalez (Kiss Of The
Spider Woman). While the MTC will also
feature the David Williamson classic Emerald
City, the STC will see Rose Byrne (Bridesmaids)
and husband Bobby Cannavale (Will And
Grace) star in A View From The Bridge.
ON BROADWAY
The Inheritance.
Move over Hamilton, one of the biggest
productions currently on Broadway is The
Inheritance. Written by Matthew Lopez and set
in New York, the play explores contemporary
gay life, highlighting age, social class and what
one generation means to the next. As with
the past classic Angels In America, this is a
two-part production. Staring Andrew Burnap,
Dylan Frederick and John Benjamin Hickey,
The Inheritance has been described by The
Telegraph as, “The most important American
play of this century,” while Variety called it a
“Masterpiece”!
The Tony Award-winning Take Me Out
is another gay-themed story, following the
coming-out of a professional baseballer. It stars
Grey’s Anatomy’s Jesse Williams as Darren
Lemming with Modern Family’s Jesse Tyler
Ferguson and Suits star Patrick J Adams also in
the cast.
Another production of great interest will be
the new musical Diana, beginning previews in
March. The production’s music and lyrics are
by David Bryan and Joe DiPietro with Jeanna de
Waal (Kinky Boots/American Idiot) in the lead as
the people’s princess. Other characters include
Prince Charles, Camilla, James Hewitt and, of
course, the Queen. Should be interesting.
Also opening on Broadway will be Flying Over
Sunset, a musical and fictional account of film
star Cary Grant’s meeting with writers Aldous
Huxley and Clare Boothe Luce (who wrote
The Women). The play revolves around their
common enjoyment of LSD. Tony Yazbeck from
Finding Neverland plays Grant.
After the conclusion of Will And Grace, Debra
Messing will star in the new play Birthday
Candles written by Noah Haidle. The story
follows the journey of Ernestine, whose life
from 17 to that of a centenarian, is told in a
series of short scenes, each beginning with the
preparation of her birthday cake.
Other stars featured on Broadway this year
include Matthew Broderick and Sarah Jessica
Parker in the Neil Simon comedy Plaza Suite,
and Ed Harris as Atticus Finch in To Kill A
Mockingbird. Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
will star Roseanne’s Laurie Metcalf and Rupert
Everett as the infamously drunken George and
Martha, with Russell Tovey and Patsy Ferran as
the innocent Nick and Honey.
Also look out for the musical adaptation of
Mrs Doubtfire, written by Harvey Fierstein
(Kinky Boots) with Rob McClure (Beetlejuice:
The Musical) in the lead role.
Fresh from the West End, The Tina Turner
Musical arrives with Adrienne Warren
continuing in the lead, and the jukebox
musical Jagged Little Pill, featuring the music of
Alanis Morissette.
THE WEST END
In London’s West End, Imelda Staunton
takes the lead in Hello Dolly, 55 years after its
Broadway debut with Carol Channing.
The most famous love story of all time gets a
comedic reworking with And Juliet, a life-after-
Romeo story, in which Juliet actually lives. With
songs from The Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears
and The Weeknd, this is an infectious jukebox
musical full of pop anthems. Shakespeare
would approve.
Kevin Elyot’s Coming Clean, the story of a
gay couple’s relationship breakdown, will have
a limited run throughout January. Having
premiered back in 1982, this production will
star Lee Knight (Harry Potter And The Goblet Of
Fire) as Tony, and Stanton Plummer-Cambridge
(Black Earth Rising) as Greg.
Whoopie
and Jennifer
in Sister Act.
Believe it or not, Whoopi Goldberg is back
in the habit as Deloris/Sister Mary Clarence in
the stage version of Sister Act. The classic film,
which was transformed to the stage in 2009, has
been newly adapted with Jennifer Saunders as
Mother Superior. And the critically acclaimed
musical Everybody’s Talking About Jamie,
inspired by the TV documentary Jamie: Drag
Queen At 16, about Jamie Campbell, continues
in 2020 with a UK tour. Layton Williams takes
on the role of Jamie.

SIR’S QUEER MAGIC
You Can Call Me SIR features
dominatrix Cristy Michel on
vocals and Matt Petty on “moody
elements” . Marc Andrews submits.

DNA: You’re the first person we’ve addressed

as Sir in a long time.
SIR (Cristy): Would you prefer to call me
Mistress? [Laughs.]
Why “SIR”?
SIR: About 10 years ago, a friend called me at
10pm and asked me to attend a party. We were
co-workers at a commercial dungeon in Los
Angeles called The Dominion. They needed
the skills of a professional dominatrix. As soon
as the door opened a woman asked my name.
I smiled and said, “You can call me Sir!” She
never forgot my name after that.
What made you decide to form a band?
SIR: Music is freedom. It’s the purest way of
receiving emotions and vibrations. It enters
your body and possesses you. It triggers parts
of your brain and body other art forms cannot.
Music is a complex and powerful force. It
could definitely impact the future. We are very
fortunate to harness that power.
The band’s music is so hard to pigeonhole.
How would you best describe it, Matt?
Matt: Post-experimental-indie-electro-rock.
We have experience in performing within
multiple genres including jazz, experimental
and classical music, rock, electronica and punk.
Coming from the Southern US has also had an
influence on our sound. The fact that we use
an alternative instrumentation – guitars, bass,
electronic trombone, found sounds – and have
a larger picture of what our music represents
brings it more toward the genre of popular
art music.

I methodically
humiliate and torture
men for money. What
more is there to tell?
– SIR
Your music also sounds quite sexually
charged. Was that the idea?
Matt: It is sexually charged and also psychically
charged. It’s driven by the forces that make us
tick as individuals and lovers. Our first tune,
Jackalope, was about our shared feelings toward
ghosting and those manipulative individuals
who leave you feeling obsessed and empty.
In your day job you’re a dominatrix. Tell us
more about that.
SIR: I methodically humiliate and torture men
for money. What more is there to tell? [Laughs.]
How do you define yourselves sexually and
gender-wise?
SIR: Queer and gender fluid.
Matt: Queer and gender fluid.
Are the days of being male and female, gay
and straight, gone now?
Matt: There are still gender repressive
structures that define our society. More people
are starting to realise the damage caused
by sexual repression throughout history.
Fortunately, there is now a new non-binary
vocabulary that allows us to discuss these
issues in a way that is relatable to one another
despite our genitalia. Unfortunately, years of
brainwashing, religion and the dualistic nature
of the human mind seems to repress a lot of that
conversation still.
Has trans visibility, as on shows like Pose,
changed things for the better?
Matt: Absolutely. It’s empowering to feel
comfortable in our own skin, but also a form of
expression so connected to physical being. It’s
inspiring to see that freedom. Pose is a great TV
show. It is reckoning. It’s especially powerful
considering how influential queer and trans

“Kink is about communication, about power and passivity, pain

theme of the occult that parallels with our own alternative
lifestyles. It’s queer magic at its darkest!”

people of colour have been on the community itself and the rest of the
world. Billy Porter’s push toward gender-fluid expression in fashion is
amazing.
What are the issues closest to your heart?
SIR: We live in such a fucked-up world right now and being in America
I’m concerned about the unpredictability of our narcissistic, mentally ill
president.
Who are some of your heroes and heroines?
SIR: My friends and chosen family. Anyone who is fearlessly themselves, is
generous, genuinely kind and works hard for what they deserve. The list is
endless, but it’s people of this nature that inspire me to be a better human.

Our music is sexually and

psychically charged. – Matt
You’re from Louisiana. Isn’t Britney Spears from round your way
originally?
SIR: Yes, from Kentwood! There is a museum dedicated to her there.
What’s your message to the gay boys of the world?
SIR: Don’t be afraid to explore yourself, your gender and your sexuality.
Don’t forget your brothers who came before you, AIDS, and the time
when being a homo was illegal. Don’t get too comfortable, we have more
work to do for our community.

he scene opens on a nondescript
bedroom. The video is distinctly
amateur due to an under-lit
webcam.
But you like that quality; its more authentic.
No pictures adorn the wall, there are no
personal effects in the room, just a fresh-faced
young man on his bed, taking sex requests in
real-time. He could be anywhere; the other side
of the world or just across town.
There was something about him that made
you click through, to choose him from the
seemingly endless grid-stream of other young
men on beds in nondescript settings, using the
internet to make some extra money.
He is not what everyone would consider
attractive – does he remind you of an ex, or that
guy you fantasised about throughout uni but
never had the courage to approach?
Once you’ve clicked through, you read his
profile and browse the menu of sex acts he’s
willing to perform, and their cost. You like what
you see, and after “finishing”, tell yourself you
will return. And perhaps you actually do, and
so begins something that will become special
in your life. You set reminders in your phone
and join his fan club to see his private shows.
Purchasing from his tipping menu gives you
a rush each time. “That was just for me,” you
think. And, if you tip enough, he’ll even thank
you, using your screen name, while performing
the sexual act. In that moment, despite the
many others also watching, you feel like it is
just you and him.
Wernik’s personalised
dildo and Fleshjack
follows a tried-and-
tested tradition that
dates back to Jeff Stryker
and the 1980s.
It’s an intimacy that the “professional” porn
industry has never delivered you.
Most of us would recognise this as a
Chaturbate scenario. The sex cam site has
been on the scene since 2011 and is now a
firm favourite for many of us searching for
masturbatory pleasure – and for some who are
in search of something more.
A recent peak for the site was in late October/
early November 2019, when internet analytics
company Alexa ranked it as the 22nd most
visited, globally, compared with Pornhub,
which hovered around 42nd/43rd for the same
period – a glimpse of an end to our obsession
with tube sites, perhaps?
A few years after Chaturbate, OnlyFans
arrived on the scene, throwing down the
gauntlet to the professional industry by
providing a platform where, it claims,
performers are given greater earning control
and the power to create their own content via
a pay-per-view and subscription model, just
for fans.
Steady growth has followed, along with
spirited uptake of the service by industry and
webcam performers alike, forcing a shake-up
of the sector.
Alam Wernik is one of the medium’s success
stories. Looking barely legal, he has 193,000
followers on Twitter and has posted a mind-
boggling 419 videos on his OnlyFans page.
He now straddles traditional industry gigs
with Falcon and the production of his own
videos on OnlyFans. But can the traditional
porn industry survive this “amateur wave”
into the 2020s?
MY APPROACH
I was delighted when DNA invited me to

Wernik. This next-gen

mediums, and product
activation with Fleshjack.
Big Things issue. It has been nine years since
I last contributed to DNA. Since then I have
completed a PhD and had my research into
gay porn published in numerous high-impact,
peer-reviewed journals – three papers in Porn
Studies, two in Journal Of Homosexuality and
two in Psychology And Sexuality (where I serve
on the editorial board), to name a select few.
Bringing research out of the ivory towers
of academic publishing (and beyond its
extortionate pay walls) and into the world
where it can have real impact is important;
so it is a genuine privilege, at the dawn of a
new decade, to be able to share with DNA
readers my thoughts on the rise of Chaturbate
and OnlyFans.
But before we jump in, let me set out my
own viewing position. Building a name for
yourself as an authority on gay porn comes
with an increasing call to comment in the
media. Journalists often approach me with
scepticism about my interest in the topics I
research (extreme porn among them). One
example is a profile Vice ran on my research
in 2017, in which my profiler eventually
wrote: “In our interview, Brennan could be
frustratingly obtuse about his motivations for
studying porn, and you get the sense that this
evasiveness comes with being a self-appointed
dispassionate observer.”
I confess to approaching interviews with
trepidation – after all, what journalist is not

context.
It is only when these “new” platforms are positioned in line
with a longer history of representation that we can have any
chance of assessing, in a meaningful way, what is new, and
what is not.

THE NEW AND THE OLD

OnlyFans launched in 2016 and was promoted as a means
for performers to take control of their sexual mediation – and
income – while providing fans with a unique, intimate
viewing position: whereby viewers’ own money could
shape sexual performances.
For men like Wernik, OnlyFans provided an
industry “in”. He is now an exclusive model for the
huge Falcon Studios while continuing to retain his
OnlyFans channel as supplementary income. Can
both coexist as a-best-of-both-worlds, and what’s
new here?
Let’s start with the performers and their
freedoms of choice and ownership over
content. What strikes me about Chaturbate
and OnlyFans is that they highlight some of the
potentially exploitative aspects of “big porn”, and
therefore have certain benefits for the individual
(and his fans). The ability to be performer and
pornographer, to self-promote at a micro level and
to wield control over one’s own image is a relatively
new phenomenon and a distinct advantage of the
“socialising” of technology. In other words, social
media has become the kingmaker of porn stars,
constituting a distinct shift in power structures.
It was Wernik who was approached by Falcon
after he had built a name for himself through social
media channels, and already established himself
as a key influencer of gay appeal. That he has since
signed as an exclusive Falcon model does show that
certain market forces remain at play, but this is not
necessarily a bad thing. This industry, after all, has
always had a special place within gay culture and,
deep down, who among us would truly wish it to fail?
In the same breath, I should point out that this
phenomenon of self-capitalising is only somewhat
new. Gay porn performers have rarely relied on studio
films alone for a career and income, but instead have
leveraged the often-fleeting exposure they receive to
gay audiences as a means to seek out more lucrative and
long-term career prospects elsewhere.
Jeffrey Escoffier set this out in 2007 when he traced a
common career trajectory of performers from porn star to
stripper to escort, which was based on the situation these
men faced between 1995 and 2005.
What has changed in the 15 years since 2005 is that the
democratising force of social media has come of age, and
brought with it the “new” possibility for porn performers to
remain digital, or in media, rather than needing to go out into
the world and forge a career-based-on-porn-recognition in a
more fleshy sense.
There are obvious benefits to this. Without getting into the
complexities of male sex work (which warrants its own article)
there are certain built-in safeguards with the nondescript

68 DNA
setting of my opening scenario: of privacy and
protection from risky sexual encounters, for
instance.
We have a newly matured digital age to thank
for this.
AUDIENCE FREEDOMS
Now let’s consider audience freedoms of choice.
At first glance these new platforms, Chaturbate
especially, offer a plethora of sex and bodies.
We are awash with choice, with all tastes
apparently catered for – the legal ones, at least.
In Susanna Paasonen’s words, “online porn
has meant unprecedented visibility of sexual
subcultures, diverse sexual preferences, niches,
and tastes”. But scratch the surface of user-
generated tube and cam sites and you’ll find
that those who dominate in the popularity
stakes, and then transition to the industry-
proper, mostly conform to certain porn
archetypes.
Wernik, for example, while having certain
refreshing cultural and ethnic elements is, in
body, a typical gay clone (the tall, muscular,
healthy ideal); and much of his porn narrative
is around the mixing of cultures, which is
hardly new, having been a mainstay of studio
pornography for decades: think of the foreigner-
abroad-alliances of Eastern Europe’s Bel Ami
with various American studios.
Observing Wernik in action, both on
OnlyFans and for Falcon, you’ll notice that
he most often performs in line with another
archetype: the powerbottom twink. Youthful,
smooth, blond and with a bubble butt that can
withstand a pounding. Convention dictates
that these traits are best complemented by a
prototypical top; men who have rougher sex,
are more mature and hirsute, and are especially
well-endowed, such as Woody Fox and Max
Konner. (Konner also embodies a Black male
archetype.)
In fact, there are many similarities between
‘new’ platforms and ‘old’ industry. For example,
the (ostensibly) straight male succeeds in both,
with OnlyFans favourites such as Ben Dudman
and Brock Cooper reflecting the sexual
veneration of straight-associated men within
our community.
Dudman’s “UK Fitness Model” banner on
his OnlyFans profile refashions the wink-and-
nudge physique beefcake magazines of gay
iconography. Also, Paasonen’s comment on
the diversification of online porn can apply
to the traditional industry as well. We tend to
remember the big studio names; but thanks
to the internet, together with cheaper means
of distribution and flexible revenue streams,
industry has been embracing niche audiences
and tastes outside of the mainstream since the
days of dial-up.
TECHNOLOGY
The personal interface of Chaturbate
and OnlyFans offers certain possibilities

 INTERVIEW WITH A PORN STAR BY JAMES FRANKLIN
Versatile and romantic, this
Argentinean “social butterfly” is
still undergoing his metamorphosis,
he tells DNA.

DNA: Tell us about your background. Where

are you from?
Ian Frost: I’m a third-generation Argentinean.
My family heritage is Italian, Spanish and
French.
How did you get started in porn?
I was working as a stripper in a club and I
wanted to make myself different to the other
strippers so I started in porn. A very good agent
found me and helped me to jump into the
business. He was a great help.
What was your adolescent experience like?
Adolescences was a great moment in my life,
with lots of friends, family and love in general.
Were you a popular boy in high school?
I was popular in high school, I’d say. Many of
my good friends from school I’m still in contact
with today, and also with the professors.
So, you weren’t the class nerd!
I wasn’t a nerd whatsoever. Totally the opposite.
I was all the time pranking, laughing and
having fun. Basically, like my life now. Going to
parties and always in new adventures.
Did you have many sexual experiences at
school?
Oh, I had many sexual moments at school. In

IAN
the locker rooms… But I was pretty average kid.
Kind of skinny, actually.

We don’t like

FROST discrimination…
equal human rights
are crucial… We are
all Earthlings.
You’re well recognised as a porn star now.
Is there anything you miss about your life
before porn?
Missing is not a feeling I relate with, generally.
I enjoy the present constantly and that’s the
best way to avoid missing things. I’m evolving
constantly, and the past is part of it. In other
words, being in porn hasn’t given me anything
to regret. Being in porn hasn’t changed
anything about my life that I now miss. A
few days ago somebody asked me if there’s a
difference between Ian Frost and Ivan Mel,
which is my legal name. And I answered that
I see all this as a metamorphosis. Like from a
worm to a butterfly. From Ivan to Ian.

78 DNA
Where are you now in that
metamorphosis?
I’d say that I’m in a cocoon stage
now. A transition. Nothing to
miss. All to enjoy.
Bareback is now the norm
in the porn industry; do the
studios test for STIs and is that
a concern of yours working
with other performers?
I am always tested by all the
studios I work with. Even if I did
it personally before, they still
send me to a private clinic to
test me again. That makes me
feel safe and comfortable.
Do you think the studios still
doing condom porn are doing
the right thing or, since they
are testing performers, should
they just make bareback
content?
Even though I don’t always use
condoms in my personal life, I
always prefer using condoms
for my movies.
Why?
Because people follow us,
and they copy what we do,
and there are already a lot of
misconceptions about sexual
health since PrEP. PrEP is not
a synonym for “stop using
condoms” as many people
prefer to understand. Not for
me to be prudish or hypocrite –
it’s just to create consciousness
about the other health aspects
of using condoms.
[PrEP protects you from HIV
but not from other STIs when
you have sex without condoms.
– Ed.]
You mentioned that you are
still adventurous and still
going to parties – does that
describe your social life?
Yes, I’m a social butterfly, and
a big one. I’m out a lot, sharing
with friends and getting to
know new people constantly.
If I had to describe my social
life in one word it would be
vacaciones [vacations]! That’ll
probably be in my epitaph.
Nevertheless, I enjoy a lot “me
time”, being by myself, at home
singing, drawing, playing
piano, watching TV.
Does porn give you the
opportunity to travel?
Yes, I travel a lot for work,
and for pleasure as well. Also,
I’m visiting friends in many
different states often. I know
this country [USA] better than

DNA 79
my own, actually, and I have
many adventures to tell. But I
really love New York City, too.
So, returning home is always
nice. I have a great life here.
How do you feel about the
self-promoting fan sites
where porn performers can
create and manage their
own content?
I think that it’s practical,
genuine, real and that it
provides a direct connection
between the actors and the
public.
It’s the new age of porn,
then?
Yes. Although, I don’t have
a fan site yet. I have a lot of
content to share, though. I
should organise it. Definitely.
Coming soon!
What’s your favorite kind
of fan?
The respectful ones.
There are many different
approaches and, at the end
of the day, I don’t really mind
what they want to tell me or
ask me as long as they do it
respectfully.

What do
I do to
decompress?
To be honest,
my life is not
stressful at all.
What common assumptions
do people make about you?
That I’m extremely sexual
and that I only bottom. I’m
more romantic and very
versatile.
The US government is
currently legislating
to restrict the rights of
women and the LGBTIQ
community. How do you feel
about this, and do you use
your profile to support our
community?
Restricting rights in general
is not good. Not only for
women and LGBTIQ people
but all people. As humans,
we shouldn’t have different
rights; that only divides

80 DNA
us even more. We don’t like
discrimination so equal
human rights are crucial. We
are all Earthlings. What I can
say I do to help my community
is naturalising homosexuality.
Not hiding it. It’s normal.
Period. I’m more than willing
to offer my platform to help if
somebody needs it in this or
any other field I agree with.
How is dating life as a
porn performer? Do you
find it makes it easy or
more difficult to make a
compatible connection?
I’d say that whoever dates
a porn star should be
very strong mentally and
emotionally. When it comes to
making that connection, that’s
always a very personal thing.
It can be a very frivolous, very
materialistic world and I think
that if you don’t have a strong
head on your shoulders that
can make it more difficult.
Is there anyone in the
industry, past or present, who
particularly inspires you?
Yes. Many actually. Alam
Wernik and Josh Moore
are the first two who come
to mind. Beautiful people
inside and out. They are
both focused in their lives,
zero drama, and growing
constantly. They are simply
admirable, and I love them.
They are always there when I
need them and make me feel
so privileged.
What do you do to
decompress and relax?
To be honest, my life is not
stressful at all. So… no need
to decompress! I’m constantly
having fun, traveling and
enjoying life. If I feel that
I need a moment to relax,
singing is definitely the
fast answer. Cuddling and
watching a horror movie
always relaxes me most.
Kissing and caressing my guys
are my barbiturates!
Where do you see yourself in
10 years?
Ten years? I barely know
where I’ll be this weekend!
What are your basic stats?
I’m 30 years old, 178cm [5-foot-
10], 72kg [160 pounds] and
seven-and-half inches uncut.
