Justin Vivian Bond (born May 9, 1963) is transgender and prefers the gender-neutral honorific Mx. (in place of Ms./Mr.) and gender-neutral pronoun v (with vself instead of her/himself), a reference to the artist's middle name. He is most well known as one of his drag incarnations, Kiki, an aging, bitter chanteuse known for her raucous and edgy medleys of unusual cover songs. She performs with her piano-playing sidekick, Herb, as Kiki and Herb. Justin also performs as himself, with his backup band, the Freudian Slippers.
