Back in April, Luxe lingerie brand Honey Birdette came under fire for posting a photo featuring non-binary burlesque performer and model, Jake Dupree. The saucy lingerie label was bombarded with hateful comments on their Instagram account after they shared a photo of Jake looking like an absolute SNACK in one of the brand’s ruby three-piece sets.
We had a chat with Jake, who has recently landed in Sydney to perform burlesque in the Blanc De Blanc Encore show, about finding themself in the spotlight – and not for the fabulous reason they’re used to.
