COVER OF A MAGAZINE

This month being gay pride month, New York Magazine has done 37 covers featuring drag queens!!!! On the covers of NYmag: How drag became America's new national pastime! "Oh, hennnnnny: America loves its drag queens. Moms do, kids do, your local gay bars do. Even McDonald’s does apparently. From the cast of the blockbuster remake of A Star Is Born to the pink carpet at the Met Gala — not to mention the millions around the world who’ve tuned in to Rupauls Dragrace for the last decade — what was once a glittery subculture on the edge of gay culture has become one of our global pop preoccupations with its own hierarchy of stars and story lines for the fans to get behind, marketing deals and Billboard chart-toppers. It’s become a very big business with its own star-power machinery attached. It’s become almost unavoidable. Their job is to make sure of it. The only downside to this though, I wish they would have featured some other queens not associated with the show too. From Lady Bunny, Hedda Lettuce, Varla Jean, Peaches Christ, Heklina, Miss Richfield1981, Coco Peru and many others, got their start, and created a national brand and popularity all on their own and ended up huge. But none the less, stunning covers ...it's almost like baseball cards. One might want to collect them all.
