What message do you hope your work sends to other queer kinky people, especially those just starting to explore? My work is ultimately a love letter to queer kinky people, especially those just starting to explore. I want it to say: you are not alone. There’s power and beauty in discovering your desires, even if the world tries to shame them. I hope my art gives permission to feel, to want, and to play without apology.

After a twelve-month hush, when the queer kink scene in Las Vegas felt like it was holding its breath, PROUD & Kinky swung the doors wide open on June 20, 2025, and reminded us exactly why we missed them. Their triumphant return, aptly titled “Naughty Playground,” took over The Usual Place and packed it with more than 230 revelers, each ready to rekindle the raw, electric magic that only a well-run, radically inclusive play party can conjure.
