A little business update from Madrid. ✨ Over th A little business update from Madrid. ✨ 
Over the last years, my work has grown into many different directions – and somehow they all connect. 
I guide people through Madrid. I perform as Candy Licious. I DJ, host events, give talks and workshops, and work with organisations around queer visibility and diversity. 
And now I’m bringing all of this together professionally here in Madrid. 
🇩🇪🇬🇧 Tours in German & English
👑 Drag, DJ & entertainment
🏳️‍🌈 Queer & diversity projects
🎤 Talks, workshops & moderation 
I’m currently looking for new collaborations with travel companies, hotels, event organisers, companies, cultural institutions and queer organisations – in Madrid and beyond. 
So if you know someone who should know about my work: send them this post. 💕

BEING AN ARTIST doesn’t mean being an artist 24/ BEING AN ARTIST doesn’t mean being an artist 24/7.

I love what I do.
I love performing.
I love creating.
I love using my voice and my platform.

But sometimes I just want to be a person.

Without having to entertain.
Without having to create content.
Without having to explain myself.
Without having to turn every experience into something productive.

Especially as a drag artist, people sometimes forget that there is a life beyond the wigs, makeup, stages and social media.

And yes, my art is deeply connected to who I am. But that doesn’t mean I have to bring my work into every single moment of my life.

You can be passionate about your work and still need a break from it.

You can be proud of your visibility and still choose to be invisible sometimes.

Artists are allowed to clock out, too. ❤️

Madrid has always been queer — you just need to Madrid has always been queer — you just need to know where to look. 🌈📚

Walking down Calle de las Huertas in the Barrio de las Letras means walking through centuries of poetry, rebellion, desire and identities that didn’t always fit the rules of their time.

And then there’s Federico García Lorca: poet, playwright, queer icon — and one of the most powerful voices Spain tried, and failed, to silence.

Queer history isn’t something new we brought into the city. It has always been part of its streets, its art and its stories.

Come walk Madrid differently. 💋

September in Madrid has already brought me three a September in Madrid has already brought me three amazing tours through the city — and tour number four is just around the corner tomorrow. ✨🏳️‍🌈

Two of this month’s tours were together with @thequeertravel , and I’m incredibly grateful for everyone who sees that discovering a city like Madrid with a drag queen can be something truly unique.

These tours are personal, individual and never exactly the same. They’re about Madrid, queer stories, hidden corners, spontaneous moments, conversations, drinks, laughter — and experiencing the city in a different way. 💖

It still amazes me how my life here in Madrid continues to take shape, project by project and tour by tour. I really hope more and more people discover that these tours exist — and maybe join me for one soon. 💋

Bi visibility matters. 💗💜💙 Bisexuality i Bi visibility matters. 💗💜💙

Bisexuality is real, valid, and just as worthy of respect and recognition as any other sexual orientation. And yet, bi people are still too often overlooked, questioned, erased, or told that their identity somehow depends on who they are currently dating.

For me, visibility also means standing up for every form of sexual orientation and for everyone’s right to love, desire, and identify in the way that feels true to them.

No identity is “less queer,” less valid, or less important than another.

So today — and every day — let’s make space for bisexual voices, challenge bi erasure, and celebrate the beautiful diversity within our community. 💗💜💙

One of Madrid’s signature drinks? Vermouth, babe One of Madrid’s signature drinks? Vermouth, babes.

And no, vermouth was not actually born in Madrid. The modern version comes from Turin, Italy, while Spain later developed its own strong vermouth tradition.

But Madrid said: thank you, I’ll take that — and make it a personality trait.

By the early 20th century, la hora del vermú had become a full social ritual: meet your friends, order a vermouth, get a little tapa, gossip about absolutely everyone… and somehow lunch is now three hours late.

Traditionally, you’ll often get red vermouth, ice, orange, maybe a splash of siphon — simple, bitter, sweet, dramatic.

Basically: me in a glass.

And that’s the important part: in Madrid, vermouth isn’t just a drink.

It’s an excuse to stop the day, stand at the bar, talk too loudly, flirt a little…

and order another one because, apparently, “just one” is not part of Spanish culture.

So if you want to drink like Madrid?

Forget happy hour.

Welcome to vermouth o’clock.

Morgen, am 22. September, wird auf JOYN / PULS 4 e Morgen, am 22. September, wird auf JOYN / PULS 4 eine Sendung ausgestrahlt, die ich bereits vor zwei Jahren gedreht habe: „Im Leben der Anderen“.

Damals wurde ich gefragt, ob ich bei diesem Experiment mitmachen möchte – und ich habe zugesagt, ohne wirklich zu wissen, was auf mich zukommen würde.

Ich möchte noch nicht zu viel verraten. Nur so viel: Es wird stellenweise sicher intensiv, auch für mich, das jetzt nach zwei Jahren wieder zu sehen.

Wer mich kennt, weiß aber auch: Ich bin grundsätzlich bereit für Dialog. Auch mit Menschen, deren Sichtweisen weit von meinen eigenen entfernt sind. Für mich wird es dann spannend, wenn wir bereit sind, einander tatsächlich zuzuhören – und vielleicht irgendwo einen Punkt finden, an dem man sich begegnen kann.

Ob und wie das gelungen ist? Das seht ihr morgen. 👀

Queer rights are moving in very different directio Queer rights are moving in very different directions around the world right now.

In Türkiye, LGBTQ+ and HIV organisations, activists and venues have faced coordinated raids and mass detentions, prompting criticism from human-rights groups and the EU. 

At the same time, Hungary’s new government has begun rolling back some Orbán-era restrictions on LGBTQ+ content and has announced changes to rules that had effectively blocked gay adoption.  And in Bolivia, Fabiana Justiniano and Scarlett Rocha recently became the country’s first same-sex couple to have their marriage legally recognised, although marriage equality is not yet nationwide. 

Progress is never guaranteed. Rights can move forward, and they can be restricted again. That’s why solidarity across borders matters.

To queer people in Türkiye and everywhere facing repression: you are seen, you are not alone, and your rights matter. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🌍

Five years single. Five years of being played with Five years single. Five years of being played with, stood up, ghosted, disappointed… and learning to keep my guard up. 😅

And then, about a month ago, someone appeared.

I’m not naming names — but that person knows exactly who I’m talking about. 👀

And somehow, this feels completely different.

No games. No guessing. No disappearing. Just mutual respect, kindness, honesty and a feeling of actually wanting the same thing.

After five years, the fear is still there. The little voice asking: “What if I get stood up again? What if it suddenly changes?”

But maybe the biggest difference is that this time, I’m not only wondering where this is going.

We actually talked about it.

And we both agreed that we want to see where this relationship takes us. 🫣❤️

So… no big announcement. No hard launch. No names.

Just me quietly saying: I’m really looking forward to what comes next.

And you know who you are. 😉

🌍🏳️‍🌈 QUEER NEWS AROUND THE WORLD Tw 🌍🏳️‍🌈 QUEER NEWS AROUND THE WORLD

Two countries. Two very different directions.

🇹🇷 In Turkey, LGBTQ+ organisations, activists and queer spaces are facing a massive crackdown. Raids, arrests, blocked websites and increasing repression — once again justified under the language of “protecting family values”.

🇭🇺 Meanwhile, Hungary is moving in another direction. The new government is taking steps to roll back anti-LGBTQ+ laws introduced under Viktor Orbán, including restrictions on LGBTQ+ representation and the effective ban on gay adoption.

These developments show us something important: progress is never guaranteed — but neither is regression permanent.

Our rights can be attacked. They can also be won back.

That’s why we need to stay informed, stay loud and stand in solidarity with queer communities everywhere. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

BEING AN ARTIST doesn’t mean you have to accept BEING AN ARTIST
doesn’t mean you have to accept every negative comment.

Being visible can be a privilege.
Having a platform can be a privilege.
And being able to speak up can be a privilege too.

I believe in using that visibility.
In starting conversations.
In speaking up when something matters.

But visibility doesn’t mean giving people unlimited access to you.

You don’t have to tolerate disrespect just because you put yourself out there.

Being public doesn’t make you public property.

Artists have boundaries.
Artists have feelings.
Artists have rights.

You are allowed to speak up.
You are allowed to delete comments.
You are allowed to block people.
You are allowed to protect your space.

Having a voice doesn’t mean you have to accept every voice directed at you.

Being an artist still means being human.
