Pride Month is in full swing, but who says you can’t keep your home Prideful year-round? Get ready to gay up your place with this selection of colorful pop culture and campy items that are a little more knick-knack than fan clack.
Nothing sets a mood quite like a candle, and if you have had Troye Sivan’s “Rush” on repeat since last year’s Pride, then this is the candle for you. The latest release from Boy Smells, Citrush, is described as having “heaps of bright pomelo and citrus gush forth from a deep velvety base. Think ripe musks, iso e super, and the perfect pinch of black pepper.” We’re already feeling the Citrush.
Faherty, known for its super soft blankets, has debuted a fabulous new one: The Center Pride Blanket, which comes adorned with rainbows on both ends. With each purchase of this Adirondack Blanket Faherty will donate 20% of the proceeds to The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center (The Center). The blanket will not only look great draped over your couch, its purchase will also go towards a good cause.
In addition to clacking fans this Pride, why not try cracking open a book? This beautiful new tome, A Great Gay Book: Stories of Growth, Belonging & Other Queer Possibilities, is a collection of art, essays, photography, and more from the beloved queer zine, Hello Mr. The book is edited by Hello Mr.’s founder, Ryan Fitzgibbon, and will instantly elevate any coffee table you set it on.
Get ready to be like Meg Stalter and say “Hi, Gay!” with this adorable new rainbow welcome mat that will get the good times goin’ before you even step foot into your house.
If you’re still missing X-Men ‘97, then keep a little piece of Cyclops and the gang with you by hanging Hey Beefcake’s adorable — yet sexy — take on the mutant superhero team. The print will transform your place into the Haus of X.
Wish you were as cool as Kristen Stewart? Well, you can do a little K Stew cosplay by pretending you work at her gym from Love Lies Bleeding.
This piece of merch from the sapphic crime thriller is a subtle nod, but one true Stewheads will spot. We’re not endorsing smoking, but you can throw plenty of other items — keys, condoms — in this vintage looking ashtray.
Make Happy Hour even happier with this cute 4 pack of stemless wine glasses, each featuring an ombre of rainbow colors. Your vodka sodas will go down extra smooth!
The pop girlies have really been keeping us fed this year. And what better way to show your love and devotion to your faves than by adorning your walls with some of your favorite queens of pop music? Liam Alexander gives singers like Janet Jackson, Tori Amos, Madonna, Britney Spears, and more a comic book makeover — unleashing their fierce superpowers.
Another candle? Yeah, that’s right — because you can never have too many candles. It’s Giving Pride is the new colorful release from Radiant Light Candle Co. (founded by Logan Slaughter a.k.a. New York/Fire Island drag icon Logan Hardcore) in collaboration with Gay Pride Apparel. No two It’s Giving Pride candles are alike, “as each is uniquely colored, mirroring the beautiful diversity of the LGBTQ+ community,” reads the description. “Infused with an uplifting blend of orange, grapefruit, mango, and red currant, this candle ignites the senses with its refreshing and invigorating aroma, creating an atmosphere of acceptance and joy.”
When you trudge home all tired from your Pride festivities, what better place to wash off the glitter and sweat than in the shower behind a Filthy Shower Curtain from the John Waters: Pope of Trash collection at the Academy Museum Store. The curtain is filled with Waters’ inspired images and words, so you can get squeaky clean while looking at the iconic Duke of Dirt.
Pride Month is so colorful even the Mistress of the Dark trades her signature black dress for a rainbow ensemble. The new “Over the Rainbow” Elvira 8” figure is the perfect accessory to place next to your TV for your next horror movie marathon as you count down the days to the ultimate gay holiday: Halloween.
“Who is she?” your friends will ask every time they come over to pregame. “How is she so fabulous?” they’ll wonder as they pose for an impromptu photoshoot with this instantly iconic Movie Star Featherly Bird Friend. The fabulous bird is inspired by Tippi Hedren in The Birds, and she even has an Aston Martin car replica you can buy separately. The bird is currently sold out, but we think she’s worth the hunt on some secondary markets.
