Ep #184: Top-Secret Feelings + 3 (feat. "Prince" Rosario)

#dkLa!

🌹 Welcome to #dkLa! 🌹 In this special Pride Month episode, we sit down with Rosario, an artist whose life and work are intertwined with the motif of roses. Our conversation was so touching it nearly brought me to tears.

Rosario's journey is as captivating as their name. Formerly known as Rose, Rosario embodies the essence of roses in every aspect of their life. From the fragrance they wear to the rose motifs adorning their home and art, they are a sentient, talking rose. Rosario’s art and characters draw inspiration from 70s manga, renowned for its liberal use of rose imagery.

Join us as Rosario floats onto our podcast in a flowing white blouse, a rose in their mouth, and long, sparkly eyelashes framing their handsome face. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of identity, art, and the beauty of embracing who you truly are.

Tune in for an unforgettable conversation that celebrates Pride Month, the power of self-expression, and the beauty of living authentically.
