Image Description: Two glamorous queers, stand with their backs to us, facing a wall of library books. They each have their butts out, and wear jock black straps. On the right, Ray wears a cropped red plastic-looking jacket with huge spiked shoulders, a blonde curly wig, and black patent stiletto boots. On the left, Katayoun wears pink socks and platform sandals, with a black leather jacket that says ‘Cool Dad’ across the back, and a bleach blonde mullet.
Leigh Bowery inspired gown, worn by Ray Filar and Dex Chait Grodner for That Ray’s Non-Binary Electro Hour, Camden People’s Theatre, 2017
Image Description: Ray stands on a dark stage, holding a microphone, and wearing red patent leather stiletto boots with a white stripe up the front and an obscene floral and checked multi-coloured dress with huge built-in prosthetic tits and oversized pink and yellow buttons down the front. Their face, in latex mask and pink and blue wig, peaks out between Dex’s yellow stocking-ed legs. Dex is evidently upside-down and hidden inside the dress with Ray.

Image Description: Ray is backstage in a dressing room, wearing a white crinoline, alone with no overskirt. Under it they wear black briefs, and thigh high patent boots, and have bound their chest with medical tape. They also wear heavy drag make-up, a blue and pink wig, pearls and a ruff. They are taking a selfie on an iPhone.
