Dita Von Queef is the eccentric alter-ego of Melbourne-based visual artist and entertainer, M****** T**** (name missing because you should never pull back the velvet curtain in the emerald city). Von Queef burst onto the drag scene in December 2019 only to greet ‘The Great COVID Shut-In of 2020’ several months later. But thanks to social media, you can’t keep a bad bitch down. Von Queef made it her personal mission to continue constructing her avant-garde $2 store costumes and sharing her dark, irreverent humour and campy theatrics in spite of Miss Corona. Her first live show post-lockdown went viral. Thanks to her tireless efforts and refusal to break spirit, Magikarp is now a queer icon.
Von Queef plans to spend the next year developing her highly flamboyant photographic tarot series, available for purchase in 2023.
Creator M****** T**** was last seen sitting under a tree somewhere listening to philosophy podcasts and shuffling a deck of cards. She was unavailable to comment.
