Chris Parker - This Is How I Felt

"It's like Pride and Prejudice but rather than Mr Darcy it's a gay man and two museums" - Chris Parker A touching story of passing time during the Covid-19 pandemic lockdowns in New Zealand. Actor and comedian Chris Parker was sent out for supplies and returned with a felting kit. Documenting the process on Instagram became hugely popular. But when he'd felted his way through the animals on the instructions, collective enthusiasm pushed him to seek inspiration from the pandemic. Chris' final creation is on display at the Auckland Museum and a photo of him wearing it is at Te Papa, the Museum of New Zealand.   More Chris Parker Instagram MICF show - Gentle Man TikTok Podcast - The Male Gayz Facebook   About the host Jane Rocca Jane lives in Melbourne and has been writing about fashion, music and lifestyle over two decades.
