09. PHILMAH BOCKS

// The Man and Life Behind the Queen

You are in for a treat today! I am so excited to bring you the glamorous Philmah Bocks!

With a dazzling career spanning over 25 years, Philmah has performed all around the world. She is the current AAMI ambassador, has rubbed noses with Aussie icons such as Kylie Minogue and even launched an exhibition with Jean Paul Gaultier himself. She has earned two fabulous Sydney Mardi Gras awards for her costuming creations and runs her very own ‘WerkShop’ specialising in the manufacture of glamour.

But today’s interview is with Daz Partington, the amazing man behind the queen that is Philmah Bocks. Daz’s life is rich with fascinating stories and experiences. In our chat he shares what it was like growing up as a homosexual in a small country town in a time that was less accepting than today, his interesting career as an animator that took him around the world and the evolution of Philmah Bocks. He is one of those people who is insanely talented at everything ~ from make up and costuming to animation in the advertising industry, he can and has done it all!

Daz is such a beautiful human being which you will hear for yourself in this chat and he really has paved the way for drag queens today.

Grab a cuppa or go for a walk and get this one into your ears for a super fun listen. Enjoy!
