Today, performance artist Alicia McDaid (McDazzler) joins me! We start off discussing her infamous character, Chemtrails, who she created while performing with Future Ladies of Wrestling (6:37). We discuss her work as a scenic painter in Portland (13:02), its effect on her body (14:11), and why she got sober (15:04). 

After, Alicia talks about her experience as a travelling puppeteer and how it inspired her to begin filming herself and her characters (21:18). 

Then, we dive into abortion and the complexities of motherhood (24:59), what freedom means to her (34:16), what she wants the audience to confront in themselves (38:55), and how acting gives Alicia permission to be a bitch (44:35).
