Ariana and the Rose Presents: The Breakup Variety Hour Residency

Step into the glitter-filled world of The Breakup Variety Hour, the electrifying one-woman show and album from pop artist and native New Yorker Ariana and the Rose. A love letter to heartbreak, healing, and the wild ride in between, this immersive spectacle blends music, comedy, and a touch of chaos—think Carrie Bradshaw meets Bette Midler at a disco dive bar. Known for cultivating a vibrant community of women and kindred spirits, Ariana turns heartache into a high-energy, neon-lit celebration of resilience. With soaring synth-pop anthems, razor-sharp wit, and a splash of downtown glam. Premiered to a sold out Joe’s Pub in NYC, Oct 2024, The Breakup Variety Hour is more than a show—it’s a movement, a cathartic party, and the ultimate reminder that the best revenge is living fabulously.

TRANS MAGAZINE LAUNCH PARTY

9:00 PM21:00

TRANS MAGAZINE LAUNCH PARTY

NYFW MANHATTAN LAUNCH PARTY + FUNDRAISER for @tranmagazinenyc

Wednesday, September 17th @clubcumming 9PM-2AM

DRESS CODE: “STYLE IN SPADES.”

Promotion, graphic design and pop-art honoring the late @therealpeterlindbergh and his contribution to fashion as one of the first photographers to shoot for American @voguemagazine @theannawintour

his simple yet revealing portraits and narrative style coined the era of the “TOP MODEL” and catapulted the careers of fashion’s most legendary supermodels including Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell, Tatjana Patitz, Cindy Crawford and Christy Turlington.

His specific editorial and portraiture of Naomi, Linda, Chrissy and Tatjana for Vogue(photographed in a backyard in Brooklyn) role-playing trans masc characters destigmatizing archetypes of traditionally thin, beautiful feminine women into trans masc characters with swag. Producing imagery that would be viewed today as artistic “gender-queerness”.

politicians in this current political climate seek to erase trans people and in many states across the U.S are moving rapidly to criminalize trans and queer people by restricting our freedom of speech and expression These rapidly-moving pieces of legislation are not only destructive to queer culture as a whole but is a “mask” to place blame on our nation’s economic woes, distracting our country through fear. A fear that has a domino effect not only effecting trans and queer people but placing an existential threat to artistic livelihood and expression everywhere.

@therealpeterlindbergh artwork and photography in this specific shoot offer us a catalyst to examine our “gender-queerness” in the era of high-fashion luxury, consumerism and capitalistic-greed. Highlighting a focus on how our country’s displacement of economic injustice has weaponized a rising global attitude against the world’s most marginalized communities.

Living our truths authentically and through community is our greatest tool against fascism and tyranny.

Fashion as an act of rebellion.

-TOMMY BOY

Join us as we celebrate @nyfw as a queer community, embracing our “gender-queerness” and honoring queer trailblazers in Fashion, Art and Music in NYC!?
