Drag History- The New Breeds

Drag has definitely change since the beginning of time. And we have seen all kinds of different types of queens since. Meet the future of drag and female impersonation! With a degree of comprehensive dedication to nightlife, extremely gender bending looks, in the queer community, these girls are raising hell and in a good way! And what great quotes.

Nina Flowers


Nina was a big, juicy fan favorite on Drag Race, and she still is! No wonder… Her style is fiercely individual and her disposition is sweet, sharp, fun-loving and just divine. In some ways, she’s all that drag should be. Inventive, challenging and always unpredictable.Why does she think drag is important? "In my opinion drag is an art form that has been around for very long time. As an art and a way of expression I think is important to keep this magical form of entertainment alive. Some take it more serious than others but the truth is only the ones that learn to master it develop a real passion for the art. Drag can be used for good in the community and to make people laugh and entertain some"

Acid Betty-


Acid Betty is shaking it up in the Big Apple with shows at many gay and straight clubs and is using her talent to carry on tradition of raising money for the many local charities for gay organizations and HIV research. "More than 1.1 million Americans are living with HIV/AIDS. Since the crisis began 575,000+ Americans have lost their lives. It is in every demographic, in every community, and it is time we all take responsibility in the fight against HIV"


Morgan McMichaels-


Morgan McMichaels returned to the "Dream Girls Revue" and resumed her club performance schedule after being a dragtestant on RuPaul's Drag Race. Morgan, along with fellow contestants Raven, Jujubee, and Pandora Boxx appeared in RuPaul's Drag U, a spin off Logo series in summer 2010. Since then she says she will use her new celebrity status as a platform to express support for LGBT rights.If homosexuality is a disease, let's all call in queer to work: "Hello. Can't work today, still queer

Shorka-


Over the past 10 years, Shokra has been one of the circuit’s biggest performers. Having performed all over North America including Gay Days, Black & Blue, White Party, all over LA and even gracing the Rapture stages in the past, Shokra is the perfect DIVA to celebrate Drag History."Let the Children see that they have a community and that they are not alone. We say we are sad that they are killing themselves but when they grow up and come out to the Gay Community what will they find? Gays who hate each other! if you want to save our Children learn how to save yourself and be loving to All! I love you!"

Cyon Flare-


"I was not born when Blacks had to Fight for Civil Rights. I was not Born when Gays were fighting back at Stonewall. But I have been fighting in urban communities and Gay communities for the freedom to be myself. Always I was questioned “Why are you so Gay” “How can you be so Free” the answer was and still is “Why Not, Just Love Me For Me Or Get Out of the Way!”

  1. Will Project Runway ever do another Drag Queen challenge?? Expect never as long as they are a Lifetime show. Don't want to upstage all their women viewers.
