Blueboy 2022
Editor-in-Chief
BACAF Board of Directors
President
Miss Tiger's work as an anthropologist, curator, writer, and SiriusXM Radio host explores media as it intersects with performance of gender, sexuality, aesthetics, queer theory and visual memory. Her ethnographic research work explores the synchronic spoken, informal, performed and traditional forms of expressed culture within various LGBTQ+ taxonomies.
As BACAF founder, Miss Tiger and her team historically contextualize, preserve and archive Blueboy® in addition to other vintage, LGBTQ+ periodicals and media objects that are in danger of being lost.
Blueboy® 2022 debuts in DECEMBER 2022 as an annual publication. It is the magazine's first issue in over a decade. As Editor-in-Chief, Miss Tiger directs an international team of contributors to reimagine Blueboy® for a diverse and multigenerational audience; showcasing lifestyle and news features, social commentary, essays, fashion editorials and art. And of course ... staying true to the original concept of Blueboy - it will feature nudity.
Miss Tiger earned her Master of Arts in
Visual Anthropology at The University of Southern California and Bachelor of Science in Media, Culture and Communication at New York University.
She resides in West Hollywood and is the Co-Chair of the West Hollywood LGBTQ+ Advisory Board.
