It was an honour to produce a feature story on International Chrysis for C☆NDY Magazine’s 14TH issue (Summer 2022). I interviewed many amazing people who knew Chrysis and reflected on her uniqueness and magic. Interview subjects included celebrated editorial hairstylist Jimmy Paul, drag icon The Lady Bunny, New York artist Tabboo!, and others who knew Chrysis at various points in time including Tony Zanetta, Connie Fleming, Lauren Pine, and Brian Belovitch.

This photo of Chrysis, shot by the brilliant Marcus Leatherdale, will be one of 12 back covers for the issue.

C☆NDY Magazine can be found at Soho News International in New York and Soop Soop in Toronto.
