Kate Miller Heidke: Child In Reverse

- She’s been up on a bendy pole defying gravity in front of millions of eager Eurovision Song Contest viewers, on top of a helter-skelter like structure surrounded by monstrous rabbits at the Sydney Opera House and lording it over (nearly) all she surveyed as “The Queen” on the recent series of The Masked Singer Australia.

Enter Dorian Electra, a frequent collaborator of Charli’s who gained popularity off of their 2019 project <em>Flamboyant</em>.
