In 1996, Kendra Kuliga won a drag king contest she entered on a dare from a friend. “A panel of femme judges gave me 10s across the board,” says Kuliga. “From then on I was addicted.”
Addicted is an understatement. For 10 years, Kuliga has served as the producer and director of the DC Kings, billed as the world’s longest-running drag king troupe. Kuliga, who performs as Ken Vegas, originally started the group as the Chaos Drag Kings, named after the former 17th Street bar that served as its original home base.
