Bluewave 2024 “Barefoot & Pregnant” {Cover} Gwen Levey and The Breakdown | Dawn Derow

Truly, all the credit goes to Gwen Levey and The Breakdown's for writing and creating this satiric song about the current state of the US and the stripping of Women's reproductive rights away since Roe v. Wade was knocked down by SCOTUS in June 2022.
Once I heard Gwen's song I knew I had to do it for the BLUEWAVE FUND RAISER - (raising money for NYS Congressional seats)
Produced by Stephen Hanks on May 24th, 2024
at Don't Tell Mama's in NYC
In case you don't get all the references ~
I lived in NYC from 2000-2021
in Oct 2021 My husband and I moved to Palm Beach Florida...
We are not fans of DeSantis! We will Vote YES on 4 in Nov and VOTE BLUE down the ticket. We help raise money and awareness for WOMENS REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS.
Since I can't fathom how a woman can vote against her own autonomy I played this "character" as if I was in some sort of Cool-aid drinking trans, got pregnant and would be content if my husband sat drinking "whiskey & rye" while I lived out some sort of dystopian Handmaids Tale reality...
When in actuality I am not ok with any of that!
The Audience helps to break me out of the trans - to reveal that I am not actually pregnant but instead proving a point that its MY BODY MY CHOICE - so I use the tip of the American Flag to "Burst an Orange Balloon that says Trump 2024" ...
#mybodymychoice
ENJOY!
