" It was a Thursday night at the restaurant Napoleon in the Adams Morgan neighborhood of Washington, DC. Five young men from George Washington University walked into the late-night dining room and were quickly transfixed by performance artist Pussy Noir as she swung about in a sequined dress and a beautifully teased out Afro. Noir slipped the boys a sly smile and shimmied out of the dress within seconds as she flung her wig across the room. The GWU bros were left with a shock across their face and a view of the very-male Pussy Noir in nothing but a pair of heels and thong. They were stunned, but the crowd erupted into applause.

Pussy Noir is a DC native who first made her name in Paris as a classically trained opera singer and artist. Since returning to the States, she has quickly transfixed DC’s art and nightlife communities and affixed herself as one of the most recognizable fashion icons in our nation’s capital. Although not a drag queen, Pussy Noir uses genderfuck fashion to portray a woman on stage during her performances across Washington. Offstage, in her everyday life, Noir (known as Jason Barnes to his friends) lives a very male existence.

Pussy Noir will be performing at the WTF?! Fashion Haus party this Sunday, February 17 (Presidents Day weekend) at Town Danceboutique. Ahead of that fashion-filled performance, we thought we’d sit down with Pussy and talk some fashion."
