Bearlesque Pin

Bears in boas. Bears in heels. Bears who can werk a stocking like nobody's business. The Bearlesque pin is exactly what it says on the tin — a cheeky play on "burlesque," with a fishnetted, high-heeled bear front and centre, in pink and black.

It was designed by our current Mr Bear Perth, Mikey (with help from fellow member Hien), who wanted to capture both sides of bear identity in a single pin.

"I wanted to blend the masc image many people think of when they think of Bears with a touch of femininity and pizazz. I want people to smile when they see it — and maybe even imagine themselves in a boa and stockings, feeling gorgeous." — Mikey

The Pin

Limited edition — these fundraising pins are here for a good time, not a long time. Once they're gone, they're gone.

Supporting QLife

Every Mr Bear Perth chooses a charity to fundraise for during their year. Mikey has chosen QLife — an Australian peer support service for LGBTIQ+ people.

"When I read about QLife's mission, it immediately resonated with me. It made me think of my younger self, wishing I'd known something like this had existed sooner. The service they provide is so invaluable to Queer folks living in remote regions who've probably spent nearly their whole lives thinking they were alone in the world, with no one to talk to about their experience as being Queer." — Mikey

100% of the pin price goes directly to QLife (postage excluded).
