JOEY ARIAS I'VIEW BY MOI

In this week's HX with Connie Fleming on the cover! A sample:

HX: Your act can be risqué, so when I heard you’d be collaborating with famed puppeteer/slut Basil Twist—hence the name Arias With A Twist—I assumed Basil would be fisting you while you hit a high note.

Joey Arias: We decided to go another route. I thought I would just go for it and get fucked by some of his creations for one of the numbers. It’s always been my dream to work with him. I saw his early works during Sherry Vine’s Theatre Couture shows, and when I was invited to the HERE space 10 years ago to see his groundbreaking Symphonie Fantastique with sea-creature puppets swirling in a 1,000-gallon tank, I was very impressed! Every time I see one of Basil’s shows I leave with my mouth open.
