Words by LEO HERRERA Photography by DANIELLE POWELL NEW ORLEANS, 2018. “I wanna get fucked up somewhere crazy,” my out-of-towner friend pleaded through a mouthful of gas station fried chicken, holding a daiquiri the shape of a rooster.  Careful what you wish for, I thought, as I flagged the taxi.  We sped away from the tourists of Frenchmen, down a dark street with a dirt sidewalk, to a dilapidated warehouse. It was missing half its roof and its…

In the US and abroad, what happens at queer strips nights like THIRST stays at queer strip nights… unless it doesn’t. Words by Han Schneider Photography by Justin J. Wee  Depending on who you are, the first things that come to mind about an average night out at a strip club likely aren’t “Blood! Dancing! Rope!” But that’s exactly what one flier for THIRST promises.
