🌈 “To play a character that’s so unapologetically queer and passionate about expressing themselves through the art form of drag, it broke something open in me,” says V + yoox's PRIDE2022 digital cover star finargus when speaking about QueerAsFolk:
I’ve been skating my whole life. It started off more as longboarding. I was just cruising around the city and I grew up in a town where it was really easy to skate everywhere. It was a very flat land with a bunch of smooth streets, so I grew up skating to get everywhere I needed to go. But within the last couple years, once lockdown was lifting, I was seeing posts about this queer skate meet-up that happens at Chevy Chase in the Glendale area in LA.
is your first time playing a queer character…how has this experience been for you? Does it feel particularly daunting or liberating?It’s liberating. From a personal standpoint and also just a career standpoint, I feel like I’ve spent so much time pretending to be the characters that I play, and I’ve always played this very straight boy-next-door-type character, which I know I can do and I know I’m good at because I’ve been doing it for years.
And when there’s so many thoughts that are swirling around in your head, especially if you’re distracted or preoccupied by external circumstances, sometimes the best thing you can do is just write anything. It doesn’t have to be good. It doesn’t have to be creative. Just start writing. Write the things that are around you in your room, try to figure out what you’re feeling by writing it down on a piece of paper.
