Meet Tuesday
I experience the world through physical and visual expression. Art has always been my way of learning and growing — through dance, comedy, sculpture, woodworking, and studying ceramics while pursuing my BFA. My journey has also been shaped by hands-on mechanical work, from operating forklifts and driving the streetcar to running a print shop, becoming a certified diesel technician, and earning my CDL. Having moved from homelessness and loss of trust to stability without sacri

Meet D
My name is Diamond, also known as D. Like a diamond, I come from a rough background — and it’s that pressure and experience that shaped me into who I am today. Those challenges didn’t break me; they refined me and helped me learn how to shine in my own way. I’ve always been drawn to things people often label as “masculine.” Because of that, I carry a tough exterior — something strong like iron — built to protect the softer parts of me that feel more like petals. Both sides ex

Meet Andi
I’m a mechanic, photographer, and music artist, constantly capturing visions and creating my future — something I’ve been doing since I was a child. My journey has taken me from Georgia to St. Louis and now to Kansas, moving through life with confidence, stamina, and determination. Transitioning from being behind the camera to stepping in front of it has been transformative. It’s given me a new perspective on life, creativity, and self-expression. I’m excited for what’s ahead

Meet Tia
I love being a woman and living life on my own terms. Growing up, comfort and authenticity in clothing were always important to me, which naturally drew me to more masculine styles — but I’ve always been deeply secure in my femininity. My style reflects the true me: someone who rejects rigid gender roles and celebrates life beyond the binary. In the words of Durand Bernard, I’m a bad bitch and I’m that nigga. Being part of Petals & Iron was an incredible experience. It offere

Meet May
I’m a Kansas City transplant with a love for sci-fi and fantasy, a habit of hoarding craft supplies, and a genuine appreciation for good food. Art has always been a part of my life, though I’ve often felt a bit awkward in front of a camera and less confident with physical expression. Being part of Petals & Iron was an incredible experience. The project was welcoming and fun, allowing me to set aside any self-consciousness and fully engage with its creative, inclusive, and flu

Meet Edi
Hello, my name is Edi. I’m 43 years old, a proud parent of two daughters and a grandparent to an amazing grandson. I’ve also been married to my gorgeous wife for 17 years, and family is one of the most important parts of my life. I’m a huge fan of the sports world, but I also have a deep love for fashion. For me, fashion is more than style — it brings a sense of peace and self-expression to my soul. I also believe traveling is essential. Exploring the world reminds me that th

Meet Pierre
Pierre is a proud masculine lesbian and a dedicated professional in the IT industry. Navigating a predominantly male field, she has shown that a lesbian with multiple facial piercings and a masculine presentation can not only contribute to government cyber architecture board meetings but also run her own technology company and teach adult students. Being represented visually in a way that celebrates the many shades of masculine lesbians has been empowering for Pierre. It has
