DO NOT BLEACH! is a love song to the culture that makes the world groove. Climb out of your depression laundry pile from this winter (clean off that chair, babe) and sweat through your wash day fit in a gentle cycle rave at the historic Family Laundry. Featuring DJs Euphemia and Queer Mom rinsing RnB edits, regional black club music, ATL Bass, and all things smooth, sensuous, and rooted, reaching a fevered peak by the end of the night. Think the TLC Creep video, but with better dancing (what was that choreo?), and the speed turned up to 160+BPM. You know we love a roller coaster, and we’re going Six Flags Over Georgia in the East Bay. 🎢
Come dressed to refuse no loads, but we’ll have to refuse yours-- sorry, but you can’t actually do your laundry that night! Everyone is welcome, but THIS IS A CAPITAL B IN BIPOC NIGHT, AND A TRANS, QUEER, AND FEMME-FORWARD SPACE. COME CORRECT OR WE’LL EJECT. As always, respect the space, respect each other, and come get cathartic with us.

Come with us on this sonic experience to connect with our roots and celebrate our power, our presence, and our movement. Welcome to a space where we can be openly Black and Queer, with no apologies, only praise, by bringing your essence decked out in your favorite Afro-fashion era. There’s no such thing as being too much!
• Vintage photo studio experience on a first come first serve basis, 3-5pm
• Small plates by Jerkies: Taste of Jamaica
Pili Pili is supported by The Oaklash Skills for Nightlife Accelerator Program (O-SNAP!) and the Black LGBTQ Migrant Project - BLMP, a program of the @translawcenter
P.S to the non-black queer people who plan to attend, think about what this space is about and how you can be an ally (hint: pay-it-forward)

This Oaklash, I decided that it was time for two things,
1) "min-maxing" on my 2 passions, (sewing a showstopper look & tight choreo with 2 backups)
2) a fully fledged goth king look that reflects where I am in my drag journey today
This resulted in the festival number that I'm excited to bring to so many stages coming to you. So much thanks to the following:
🧛🏻♀️ My talented backup dancers @koala_katto & @krimmip
☀️ @oaklashdrag for the opportunity and @themojocarter for booking me for the amazing Black & AAPI excellence stage
Photos & video by @edgarruizphotography
Hair by @georginathedoll
Nail gloves by @cristalguysir + me
Shoes from @dwarvesshoes
cape, vest, jabot, & breeches made entirely by me from almost entirely silk & wool
Swipe to see clips from the @oaklashdrag performance, a photo with my backup dancers and upcoming dates to catch this performance. ➡️
You know the sewing + concept video is coming soon, and I have so much more to talk about there, so look out for it! 😁 #drag #dragking #oaklash

Over the past nine years, Oaklash has grown from a humble, grassroots block party to a full-scale drag festival — not to mention an arts incubator that has put on some truly mind-melting performances.
On Saturday, May 16, hundreds of drag fans gathered in Old Oakland to watch dozens of performers on multiple stages. There were soul-stirring lip syncs, flawless fashion reveals, gravity-defying dance moves and lots of dollar bills flying through the air.
