Woman Crush Wednesday: Lobstar Bisque

Every hump day, a Philly woman shares her local picks for Woman Crush Wednesday. Today, Philly “burlesqueer,” and recent prom queen winner at A Very Tabu Prom, Lobstar Bisque. 

Lobstar Bisque

As Philly's resident plus-size burlesqueer, I like things bigger! So I chose groups of women instead of individuals. Here, my picks for Woman Crush Wednesday.

ScrewSmart

These amazing sex educators bring comedy, sex ed, and a rollicking dose of fun everywhere they go. Philly is lucky to have them.

Anna Crusis Women's Choir

Fun fact: Anna Crusis is the first feminist women's choir in the U.S. Artistic Director Miriam Davidson constantly focuses on building repertoire with an eye to social justice. Check them out — they perform all over the Philadelphia area.

Liberty City Kings Drag and Burlesque

This group has some of the most insanely talented folks I've ever seen. They mess with gender on the regular, and challenge stereotypes on the daily. Their numbers range from classic burlesque to old-school drag to performances that really make you think—with a side of hilarity thrown in. I have a crush on all of them.

Delaware Valley Legacy Fund

The Wonder Women program is fantastic, and Executive Director Samantha Giusti (pictured) is a dedicated activist and one of the sweetest folks I've ever had the pleasure of chatting with.

Philly Dyke March

These dedicated, hard-working women put their all into organizing the Dyke March every year. I am in awe of how much time and effort each person puts in to making sure the march is an inclusive, affirming event for everyone. *swoon*
