Hickey Machine
Hickey Machine is a monthly party gestated by nightlife legend One-Half NelSon. Nelly describes it best:
This erratic happening is alllll about celebrating club kid culture, local DJs, MAJOR looks & the beauty of hickeys. She’s queer as f*ck and ready to rage.
This is one of my favorite things I’ve been a part of in drag—an excuse to make outrageous garments, kiki with friends at Process, dance my makeup off, and get photographed by the incomparable Tom Kay. I feel very grateful to be a resident host alongside Portland Icon Destiny Smokez, to get to design these outrageous posters, and to occasionally supply some trippy projections for partygoers to dance and make out to.
