These are the ladies that have done all the work, laid the ground rules down. These are the ones that were there before us, the ones we will not let be forgotten. If not for these talented and brave performers, us modern day gals, queens and showgirls may not have the success and careers we currently possess. Happy Drag Month!!!

Thank you for this, and for the month itself. :-)
ReplyDeleteGlad to see Billy Tipton and Storme Delarvarie on the list! Your drag history month was a big success, Mistress, thanks!
ReplyDeleteAs much as I missed your regular posts, what a wonderful month of drag history and remembering such beauty, talent, and ground pioneers. They and we can be proud of the part of gay community heritage.
ReplyDeleteNow THAT is a curtain call! BRAVO!
ReplyDeleteWow, this massive assemblage of Queens certainly does deserve a Bravo! and...even more aptly, a Bravissimo!
ReplyDeleteYou've given us some fantastic insight into Drag History Month.
Mistress B,

ReplyDeleteWhat a great month of interesting reading Mistress. I even got a great book out of it. As your well aware Miss Hope Springs is coming to New Hope
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing month of drag education!!!! It has been a great read. As for above...that's a whole lot of eyeliner and Aqua Net.
ReplyDeleteI thought these posts were just terrific. Not to sound condescending, but you should be proud of them. You are an important chronicler of Drag. Sing Out, Louise!
ReplyDeleteSomething to be proud of for sure.Another great month of history learned. You should really be the go -to person for a who's who of drag queens I swear!
ReplyDeleteWhere is a hanky!!!! Such a lovely honor! I'd kiss ya, but I'm afraid my gum will slip out!!!!
ReplyDeleteA veritable cavalcade of fabulosity! A fitting, shall we say, climax to Drag History Month?
ReplyDeleteA great month indeed!
ReplyDeleteWhat would the collective noun for a group of drag queens be, I wonder? A "scream", perhaps? Or a "tuck"? A "fierceness"? Jx
ReplyDeleteI have just found your wonderful blog and it is quite addictive...it's content. I have been on for three hors reading. I absolutely loved your drag history month!
ReplyDeleteWow, impressive list.
