Queer icon Waxie Moon becomes a Seattle landmark (10.29.14)

October 30, 2014 in portraiture, celebrity, burlesque

Excerpted from Wes Hurley's feature on The Huffington Post:

"Created by muralist Anna-Lisa Notter and commissioned by The Pink Door restaurant, the newly unveiled likeness of Waxie Moon towers over the historic Pike Place market, greeting thousands of tourists from all over the world. The mural, which shows the gender-blending Waxie dangle from a swinging chandelier and pour champagne flute toward Elliot Bay, is right at home in Seattle known for its celebrated burlesque scene (from Gypsy Rose Lee to Miss Indigo Blue) and its progressive politics."

And I'm in love with this shot, but am kicking myself that I didn't scoot Waxie over two feet to the right.
