For Sapphic Paradise, a collective of queer, Black and brown strippers, Instagram wasn’t just a platform to hype upcoming events. It was how they found and grew a dedicated audience that packed their monthly Monday night shows where cisgendered men aren’t allowed in.
They lost that footing shortly after they posted a promotional event poster for their November 2025 “Winter Wonderland” prom-themed event, which showed a photo of a pair of legs wearing high-heeled shoes and a rose, both in the snow.
Sounds weirdly sharia.
