Full Frontal: Backwards Bordello; Kink, Burlesque and Queer Spaces

Hello Fellow Humans!

Get ready to crank up the fun and kink factor at Backwards Bordelo! Join us for a playful romp through LA’s most outrageous queer kink event, hosted by the fabulous Carter—your guide to everything quirky, sexy, and delightfully subversive. 😘✨

In this episode, we celebrate queer spaces as the ultimate playgrounds for self-expression, creativity, and a little mischief. We’re diving deep into the history of these vibrant havens—from the legendary gay and lesbian bars that lit up our nights to the sizzling alternative events that have taken over when COVID-19 forced many beloved spaces to close. Did you know that nearly 30% of LA’s iconic queer establishments shuttered during the pandemic? 📉 Across the nation, a similar 20% decline has left many feeling the loss of these safe spaces where laughter, love, and liberation once thrived.

But hey, out of every challenge comes a fabulous comeback! 💪🏳️‍🌈 Backwards Bordelo is more than just an event—it’s a beacon of creative resistance. Studies have shown that over 70% of queer youth crave safe environments for authentic exploration and self-discovery, and this event is answering that call with a mix of kink, performance art, and unapologetic joy. 🔥💃

Carter brings their signature blend of humor and heart as we explore how celebrating kink in a secure, inclusive setting isn’t just about pushing boundaries—it’s about building community and fostering empowerment. Whether you’re drawn by the jaw-dropping fire dancers, the immersive Shibari, the dancers and knife play, the vibrant stories of resilience, or the need to reclaim spaces that nurture our true selves, this episode promises to be a rollicking good time! 🎭💖

Tune in for a playful yet powerful journey through queer history, sizzling current trends, and a vision of a future where every queer soul has a space to shine. Because when the going gets tough, the tough get kinked—and we’re here to celebrate it all! 🎙️🌈✨

Let's get this party started! 🎉💥
