Long live the Drag Queen

SSONet.com.au – by Maxi Shield

Dead? Dying? Or bigger than ever? And dare I say, for some in the community, who cares?

I have literally stepped offstage for a close friend and author of internationally acclaimed book, Beneath the Sequined Surface, Carol Langley’s lecture on drag and popular culture.

After reading comments recently claiming that Sydney drag is dead and Carol’s comprehensive talk on my performance genre, I would have to believe that it in some circles it is bigger and better than ever. Is that a good or bad thing?
