In 'Release The Beast: A Drag Queen's Guide to Life', Bimini shares their Y2K fashion inspirations and bringing back the 90s' Pamela pencil brow.
“The psychology of style and fashion is incredibly fascinating to me. Even the way I dressed in my early teens in order to fit in and be like everyone else represents a basic human desire to be liked. When I think about all of my style icons now, they all share a similar unapologetic approach to being themselves, which I’ve learned comes as youfind yourself.
What’s funny is how much of a sponge I was for the style I grew up around. I may not have been able to wear a Juicy Couture tracksuit back then but I sure have made up for it now. I guess I looked at everything that was going on during this era in pop culture, suppressed it until I was ready to live it, and here we are. Fourteen years later and I’m one pencil thin bitch brow away from being a true nineties groovy chick.
I had my first queer real life experience when I was 14. It wasn’t sexual, it was… magical. I was stood outside the battered Hollywood cinema in Great Yarmouth, probably having a fag with my best mate who silently knew I was queer but who humoured my confusion about it until I was ready, and there they were in my sight line. A vision in studded tartan and leather, a stylised bleached mullet with complementary sunglasses and a platform shoe to boot.
I had never seen a visibly, unapologetically queer person in the flesh before and behold, here one was right in front of me. Like a true Ray of Light , they shone. To me, anyway. I think to the average person living where I grew up this person would have looked like a weirdo, a freak. But it was the most punk thing I’ve ever seen and frankly I couldn’t work out if I wanted to be them or I wanted to fuck them, a similar feeling I got when I saw Pete Burns on Celebrity Big Brother.
