Me, Myself & Carla Rossi Queer Meets Queer
-
- Relationships
Anthony Hudson had no idea that white face paint, a pillow case, and a name—”Carla”—would lead to the manifestation of THE Carla Rossi, Portland’s premier drag clown. Carla Rossi became a hurricane force in Anthony’s life and a fiery furnace of creation. Anthony, on the other hand, became a chauffeur and a personal assistant to Carla’s rising star, which is just what happens when you are host to an immortal trickster spirit. Through more than a decade of multidisciplinary artistic works, Anthony and Carla negotiated split identity, stared privilege in the (white)face , and contemplated queerness.
