Jonathan was born in Sydney, spent his formative years in Launceston Tasmania and then moved to Melbourne to attend university when he was 18. After pondering careers in psychology, acting, writing or photography he settled on photography, but over the last few years he has also taken up writing. This has culminated in his newly released book titled The Boy in the Dress which is a deeply personal account of a possible gay hate crime involving a family member in 1944. Combining true crime, with queer history and personal memoir, The Boy in the Dress raises questions about Australia’s military culture, and also sent Jonathan down a path of personal and family discovery that lasted over a decade.

Her decade long career was cut short in 1989 when she was discharged from the Army after a witch-hunt that was carried out for Australian Defence Force members who were seen as gay or lesbian. As a Corps of Signal Yvonne had a top–secret clearance and it was decided by the Army that her sexuality exposed her to bribery and therefore she was deemed a national security risk. Since then Yvonne has fought for a redress scheme and an apology from the Australian government and Defence Force over the forced resignations of hundreds of defence force personnel over issues supposedly related to their sexuality.

Sprinkle has been active in the fashion, costumery performance, film and curatorial spaces since the mid 1990s. She’s won awards, appeared in kink performances and sex positive films, and her fashion has appeared in countless media from tv to film, to print magazines.  
A tall and curvy woman herself, Sprinkle struggled for many years trying to find clothes that not only fit but flattered her curves…to no avail.  So instead, she started creating and sewing her own garments, and among other things Sprinkle Emporium was born. Sprinkle has had her fair share of challenges across her life – from a sometimes difficult childhood, to the vagaries of the fashion and performance industries, to losing her partner in 2019 then having to negotiate the wild ride of COVID in 2020. Despite that, my guest has always maintained a positive attitude to life.
