June Update: Bustin' Out All Over

Added 2021-06-03 20:33:46 +0000 UTC

Hello Patreon friends!

I feel like I say this every month, but: Well, here we are. We've somehow muddled through and made it to another Pride month -- one where we might actually be able to see our friends in person!!! Groundbreaking.

Anyway, I hope you're celebrating with as much pluck and aplomb as Leslie Uggams in the above video, and if things don't go according to plan, just remember her famous saying: "and the little bit of dribbers and the huckin' the bejeebers out of all the morning glories or the fennnnnns."

This month being what it is (and what it is is a lot), I've been chugging away as fast as I can on a new video about the wild outlandish early works of John Waters, which go way beyond Pride and into the real of glorious delicious shamelessness. I've got that video nearly finished and it'll go live this Sunday, June 6 (patrons at $10+ get early ad-free access) -- I hope you'll join me for a livestream and the debut of that video this Sunday morning at 11am pacific!

What's more, Patreon backers at $2+ get exclusive sneak peeks at what I'm working on, and bonus videos with fun stories that I uncovered in my research but didn't have room for in the final video. (The John Waters research, as you can imagine, includes a lot of stories that are too hot for YouTube.) And on top of that, I've been fortunate to have some wonderful guests on Sewers of Paris recently -- Justin Vivian Bond and Lypsinka among them. And I'm recording some more in the next few days that I think you're going to love.

Also, just a quick reminder that I've got a weekly newsletter that features goofy little stories, links to my latest comic book reviews, and as always, cute animal videos. Sign up for that at mattbaume.com.

And a huge huge huge thanks to you all for making my work possible. I absolutely couldn't do any of this without you.

Now go enjoy your June, and get ready for Queer Wrath month next.

Matt
