The House of Silky x Megan Hanson collaboration is a collection of four looks I produced together with Mira Silky, Xander Silky, Api Silky, Basjia Silky and Lydia Silky, for Silky’s entry into Sissy Ball 2020 Face of the Oceanic category. The Sissy Ball 2020 website states, “Face of the Oceanic. Last year we answered the call of Gaia and now we are emerging from the seven seas! Bring face as an Oceanic Goddess/God, siren, or guardian. An ode to those who protect our seas and islands, think Tangaroa, Yemaya, Maui... any Disney interpretations of our cultural deities will be CHOPPED.” Silky represented their respective cultural goddesses and god as follows: House Mother Mira Silky as Mazu, Goddess of the South China Sea; Api Silky as Dakuwaqa, the Fijian shark god; Basjia Silky as Yemoja, African Goddess of the Ocean; and Lydia Silky as Nyai Loro Kidul, Indonesian Goddess of the Ocean.
Working with Silky on this collaboration was a wonderful experience. Mira, Api, Basjia, Lydia and the other members of Silky are all so inspiring in their ballroom practice and extend this grace and generosity into their daily lives.
