A huge thank you to @operawestsociety for making this experience possible for me 🤍

When you receive a strange letter from a slimy man, so you run to tell your bestie about it but she has the EXACT SAME LETTER. What better solution would there be except to make a plan to publicly humiliate him and your bestie’s husband in front of the whole town?? Gate keep, gas light, girl bosses!

Honoured to share the stage and cause chaos with @rachelsuzannemusic💗💗
