No, luv. Not Cheryl Ann Fernandez-Versini (née Tweedy, formerly Cole; born 30 June 1983). We’re talking polysexual Brooklyn art darlings CHERYL, who are back in Europe and hitting London for their second Dalston Superstore celebration! But what is this currazee collective? Here’s all you need to know about Cheryl, by the Cheryl residents themselves…
CHERYL is a color, a number, a gender, and a sexual disorientation.
CHERYL is a collective from Brooklyn that is coming to London for one night only to remind us all how to put the BI back in SEXUAL.
CHERYL is the dance party that will ruin your LIFE, in ways that you never knew possible.
CHERYL is glitter in the cracks of your soul.
CHERYL is your future.
CHERYL is ABSOLUTELY NO REGRETS.
CHERYL is dialling your business modem and faxing your personal papers.
And CHERYL is going to take you on a journey…
So, here’s the deal: It’s the 90s. You’re into space exploration. And you’re BI.
Join us on Saturday, January 17th at Dalston Superstore as we contemplate our sexual orientation together on the dance floor.
Need costume inspiration? Think baby tees, maroon lipstick, condoms, Björk buns, wallet chains, tiny backpacks, and lollipops. Or a space suit.
CHERYL wrote a song in celebration of this magical, bygone era of BI that goes a little something like this…
“Dave Navarro, Margaret Cho
DiFranco and Garofalo
Jason Priestley, Luke Perry
Take an E at the foam party
R Kelly, Mister Clean
Both such bossy bottom queens
Kimmy Gibbler, Rachel’s hair
Dana Sculley, dance on air
They had condoms, they had boobs
Dennis Rodman’s frosted pubes
Cyber me this afternoon
Baby tees, we love you.
Blossom’s watching Home Alone
Fax me if you wanna bone
Tell your family, tell your friends
We’re here, we’re queer, it all depends…
BI.”
