Barbette
Jim Bailey
Charles Pierce
Simma Down
Imp Queen
Astounding collection! :-)
ReplyDeleteThat's a great list of past and present. I have been trying to see Murray Hill for some time, and his show are always sold out.
ReplyDeleteSimma Down? Love it! Every time I look at a picture of Lady Bunny, I see Dusty Springfield.
ReplyDeleteAll great, even old school like Jim Bailey and Charles Pierce, but I really love Sasha Velour!
ReplyDeletemy fave will always be lady bunny.
ReplyDeleteMe too, team Lady Bunny all the way! I can see why you picked this group, many names I have heard from the mainstream media which says a lot because at one time they would never mention anyone from the LGBTQ community unless they were making fun of us.
DeleteI like to think they now realize we are not a group to be trifled with, and aren't going away.
DeleteGreat picture of all theses queens. Can you even imagine them all together at a lunch?
ReplyDeleteEthan Eltinge is the mother of drag in my opinion. A beautiful assemblage of mover and shakers Mistress.
ReplyDeleteSimmer down for me
ReplyDeleteGreat selection.I’ve seen Charles Pierce on YouTube. Genius!
ReplyDeleteLove me some Drag Kings.

"I used to visit all the very gay places
ReplyDeleteThose come-what-may places
Where one relaxes on the axis of the wheel of life
To get the feel of life
From jazz and cocktails..."
Mr Billy Strayhorn summed up the lives of some of these girls quite succinctly, methinks.

The History! Talent, creativity, wit, and bravery!
