The exhibit has been shown both at the Crystal Moll Gallery and the World Trade Center during the celebrations.

The exhibition is free and is open Wednesday to Saturday from noon-6 p.m. For more information, visit crystalmollgallery.com.
Kinsey Sicks for president!
The Kinsey Sicks perform their show “Electile Dysfunction: Kinsey Sicks for President,” at Clementine at Creative Alliance (3134 Eastern Ave., Baltimore) on July 14 at 7 and 9 p.m.
The show is the Kinsey Sicks’ campaign to become the first Dragapella Beautyshop Quartet to be elected President of the United States. According to their website, the gals are taking “(a)back America by out-pandering, out-conspiracy theorizing, and out-outlandishing even the most cynical of the current crop of Presidential candidates.”

The contest will include interviews, costume judging and personality contests as people compete for Ms. Deaf Leather, Mr. Deaf Leather and Deaf Leatherboy titles. Though it is a celebration of the deaf leather community, everyone is welcome. The group is LGBT inclusive.
