Today we're celebrating all of the shes theys and gays. It's technically international women's day, but we want to extend it to all of our nonbinary & gender-fluid friends as well. (In case you don't know, this project is run by a core team of all femme and nonbinary also cools, and is very queer and very proud.)

We thought it would be appropriate to share "Tiny Boy," a spicy feminist bop by Von that recently went viral on TikTok. Von is a musician, co-founder, and host of BLOODY MARY KOs & KINK, the first underground NYC fetish party to merge live boxing with talents from sex workers, femme creatives, DJs and performers. Oh, and she's also the first artist to use her own orgasm wave patterns in pop music.

Inspired by the political agendas of Peaches to Pussy Riot, Von dedicates her time to making art that dismantles stereotypes about sex work, sexist agendas in entertainment and aversion to sex-positive dialogues. She places pulsing percussion and sawtooth baselines under glittery synth riffs and genre-bending vocal treatments to make music that defines sexual confidence as what you always wished your misogynistic aunt read it as: powerful.

With artists like Pussy Riot, UNIIQU3, Pauli Cakes, DJ_Dave (who we interviewed a while ago - read it here) & more on the bills, Von and BLOODY MARY KOs & KINK are shaking up the industry. In 2020 Von music directed the first NYFW show to ever feature Pornhub stars on the runway & is on a mission to make art that dismantles shaming stereotypes.

To all the non-cis males of the world, we celebrate you and encourage you to dance out your frustrations to "Tiny Boy." Watch it below.
