Perfume Genius 

Mike Hadreas, who performs under the alias Perfume Genius, contains multitudes — and many of those personas are decidedly female. “I write a lot as this woman,” he told Lower Dens’ Jana Hunter in 2015.

“I have a Facebook profile for an older woman that lives in Juneau, and I write as her a lot. She’s really into mystery writers, and she writes these long things about when she met them and stuff. It’s really nonsensical. She’s really into Barbara Kingsolver, and mystery writers…Dennis Franz, from “NYPD Blue”, that’s her favorite actor. And the Rembrandts.”
