About Today’s Show Life likes to box us in a lot of the time. If you don’t fit into a nice and tidy box with a bow on the top then how are people suppose to judge you accordingly? Androgyny, Boylesque, drag queens, non-binary, it can all be a grey zone at times. In today’s episode, Calan and special guest Christopher Olwage a.k.a. “Chris Oh!” have a dynamic conversation about exploring the feminine as well as all aspects of ourselves through self-expression. The former Mr. Gay World 2013 has an open and honest conversation about his journey to becoming one of the most sought-after Burlesque performers in the world. From his childhood obesity and suicide attempts to learning to love himself and embracing his gender-bending ways, Chris shares his journey with love, laughter and hope to inspire others to break out of their metaphorical boxes.
