Have you ever felt like maybe there’s a queen diva trapped inside you just waiting for the right shade of lipstick to burst out into the world and start lip syncing for her life?
Well you are in luck. RuPaul and a list of queens longer than Divine’s eyebrows are converging for the first ever (yes, the first ever in herstory) “Drag Con” in Los Angeles in May, and shit’s gonna get real.
Here’s a taste of whats on the agenda:
- “Everything You Wanted to Know about Tucking but Were Afraid to Ask,”
- “Lady MacBeth to Lady Gaga: Drag in the Mainstream”
- “Drag King Makeovers”
- “A Drag Revolution: Stonewall Riots”
- “Padding 101: Dude, Where’s My Mattress?”
- “Weaves, Waffles, and Wig Water”
Besides these lessons in all things drag, expect performances, workshops, and lots and lots of shopping.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
