Today is Best Friends Day 💕 I often get asked

Today is Best Friends Day 💕 I often get asked where the name Minka comes from. It's all thanks to my BFF, @lil_jay_dub ☺️ Joshua and I met at @unsw in the very late 90s. Two colourful baby queers who were very into film theory and activism 🌈 We also loved to party, as you can see from this treasured photo of us dressing each other in drag 👯‍♂️ Somewhere along the way, we developed a secret code word when spotted a hottie, chirping "minka minka" and then doing a side-eye in the direction of some fittie 🔥 Who knows where it came from exactly but Minka became our catchphrase, our call to arms. Years later, when I'd finished touring the US and Australia with @sgblackheartburlesque, we were talking about what my stage name could be now that I'd left @suicidegirls. Joshua suggested I transform from Fanny Suicide into Fanny Minka and the rest is history 🤩 Joshua is one of the true constants in my life. The sturdy Capricorn 🐐 to my whimsical Aquarian ways ⛲ There's such unfathomable value in having a BFF for over 20 years, especially one as loving, supportive and fun as he is. I feel truly blessed to have such an incredible person in my life 💖
