Students and faculty share their experiences from performing as drag kings and queens
In the dressing room guys and girls are running around, putting on lipstick and eye-liner, pulling hair back and placing their wigs on. Trousers are pulled on and dresses are slipped into as the spotlights click on. It’s time to perform.
A man confidently walks to the center of the stage and takes his place as the intro to “I Will Survive” plays. He turns in one swift motion, lip-synching, dancing and blowing kisses, as the crowd goes wild. He shakes his booty in the tight, yellow skirt then struts in black, strappy stilletos to the front of the stage. Before he was Joseph, a businessman, now he is Kasey Cola, sex goddess.
