DRAG FEST


This is more a PSA instead of a post. The Mistress was very busy this weekend when I was dm'ing Trinity the Tuck, and between her and talking with Alexis Michelle and several other queens,  the digital age is indeed upon us and taking us to new territory and unchartered waters. I promised I  would get word out too. With so many, if not all bars and clubs now shuttered, many queens will be taking a huge hit with no income coming in. Hey!!!!!! I know first hand, it takes a lot of money to look this cheap!!!! Between texting, dm'ing and email, it is incredible what has been going on. Tina Burner did a great online show I caught last week, as well as Nina West and friend Magnolia Applebottom. Trinity in conjunction with Peg Productions and  Stageit.com started putting together a digital drag show, which has gotten great response and has now grown huge to all proportions. It's now turned into a Ditgial Drag Festival, where one can enjoy drag shows from the safety of your home, wherever you are in the world!  Audiences are limited for each show to maintain the intimacy and exclusivity, like it would normally be at your local drag show (and yes, you will even be able to make it rain on them). Artists may decide to release additional tickets for their show, but a single show will never exceed more than a  hundred households total. Each 30-minute show will be a once in a lifetime live experience.  Singing, cooking, comedy, lip syncing and drama are just some of the elements that will be showcased in this festival. Tickets will be extremely limited, to keep audience sizes small and the experience intimate, with opportunities to interact with artists, tip them, and potentially be awarded prizes and giveaways. Ticket prices for each show, if not most, will start at an economical $10.00 USD per household. Most money will support that queen or it will be donated to a local charity. Here is a list of the already booked queens and the dates and times they will appear.  I will not be deatiling what the show is...otherwise this will be a long post. If you click the link in the end you can see what each show will entail. Keep in mind queens are still joining and this is only the latest list.

This is the link to Stageit. If your interested in supporting some of these queens click on the link. Once on the site, click the banner  at top of page advertising the Dragfest, and the next screen will show the event bio and below that,  a show list of the queens and their show times. If you click on the Queens show title highlighted in bold, it will take you directly to screen to purchase your tickets. It will also show you if any tickets are left before purchasing which is nice. Some queens have already added second and THIRD shows. AMAZING !!!! Drag is all about resilience, and this festival is meant to share that message during a challenging time. And be sure to check back as the list keeps getting bigger. I'll have a direct link in the side bar too.

  4. What a great idea. I can get my drag on and yet sit at home and look like a slob???

  5. That's being creative. And, audiences should know how tough this is going to be for the queens...it is not easy to do comedy without an audience present. Be appreciative, everyone!

  15. I will be definitely be viewing Sherry Vine. I love her. I checked out the site and now see Varla Jean Merman is being added. This is actually our time to show our apperception for these queens, and stop taking for granted the art and fun. They all deserve a to be seen.

  20. I think this is truly amazing and so inspiring in these times. I will be getting tickets for several shows. Got to support Ariel of course. I read where GLADD and Amazon are now partners to donate monies. Great word to get out Mistress.

  21. WOW! This is excellent. I am sort of shocked no RuPaul anywhere in here.

  22. I think it is amazing to see this happening, and some of the more well known and well off girls are donating their funds to the queens who need it, or other charities. This is true comradery and sisterhood. My question is why is the queen of drag Ru not involved? Don't tell me she is only sitting back judging queens now, collecting even more money off her cash cows who do the tours and all the work for her????

    Shame Ru. Even Michelle Visage is doing the opening ceremony for this great event. I don't mean to soil this post Mistress but had to express how I felt. Ru is showing how she is turning into yet another famous person who is spoiled by greed, not practicing what she preaches. At this point she is just a elevated Madame with these girls.
