Life’s a drag… Why not be a queen?

Crystal Rasmussen
Crystal
Look up the term ‘Global Phenomenon’ in the dictionary and you will simply find a picture of Crystal’s face. She’s beautiful. She’s a model. She looks like a block of cheap Edam that’s been left out in the sun. She’s known for always having a cigarette in her mouth, while shouting at people for smoking in her face. She also coined the term ‘money’ and has been living in her overdraft since the Wall Street Crash of 1929. Crystal forms one fifth of DENIM, the drag supergroup, and is adored by fans for her lazy demeanour and her powerful falsetto.

Tom also forms half of the radical queer punk band ACM.
