Note: This episode has some tech issues with microphone quality, but it’s been fixed for future recordings.

Also, a content warning: we discuss sensitive topics including sex, fetishisation, and violence against trans women.

In this episode of Fashion Is My Foreplay, I sit down with Zorana Dawn (@zoranadawnart) a Brighton-based burlesque and drag performer, character artist, and fashion chameleon.

Originally from Serbia, Zorana’s world is filled with colour, pattern, self-expression, and unapologetic confidence. We talk about:
✨ Fashion as performance, from the stage to the bedroom
✨ Burlesque, drag, body glitter, and a wardrobe full of jumpsuits
✨ The fetishisation and dangers trans women face in dating and hookups
✨ How transition changed her body, sex life, and self-acceptance
✨ Why self-love, lingerie, and touch are central to her life and relationships

Zorana’s story is bold, honest, and glitter-covered, just like her.
