Drag-Hagging With The Best of ’em

LAWeekly.com – By Lina Lecaro

Ask any drag hag (girls who love boys who dress up like girls) why we’re so enthralled by the queens, and most will tell ya it’s about the fun, fearlessness, and yes, fierceness they convey. Nightranger has always supported transgendered/cross-dressing/poly-sexual party peeps and entertainers, especially when it comes to the color and creativity these communities have brought to L.A. nightlife, and getting to know many of them personally over the years has been eye-opening – and we’re not just talking about perfecting our shadow/lash/brow technique. The appeal of performers like RuPaul, Jackie Beat, Jer Ber Jones and Momma, for example, goes way beyond the novelty of a dude in a dress. They are writers, illusionists and provocateurs. More important, they are artists – artists with one hell of a canvas.
