This book was released on 2018-01-31 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you ready to lose yourself in spectacle that is Drag? Are you ready to color away all your anxiety, depression, stress and woes? Are you ready to bring your favourite Drag Queens to life through coloring? Are you ready to bring your favourite Drag Kings to life through coloring? Are you tired of boring colour therapy books about cats, mandalas, flowers and swearing? Are you ready for a new Queen to strut her stuff on the colouring book catwalk? Well darling if you're ready give me a fierce "YAAASSSSS QUEEN!" A Drag Queen is a person, most commonly male, who dresses in clothing of the opposite sex and will often exaggerate features, mannerisms and stereotypes that society holds about that sex. This often means that a Drag Queen is the epitome of exaggerated femininity. The exaggeration is normally achieved through dramatic make up, fierce outfits, comedy and endlessly long eyelashes. While Drag is often associated with the LGBT community, especially gay men, there are Drag Queens of all sexualities. Drag has become a pop cultural phenomenon since the release of 'Ru Paul's Drag Race.' This coloring book contains hand drawn portraits of the following fabulous, fierce and beautiful Queens: Adore Delano, Alaska Thunderfuck, Alyssa Edwards, Bianca Del Rio, Carmen Carrera, Chad Michaels, Dame Edna Everage, Detox, Divine, Jinx Monsoon, Jujube, Lady Bunny, Latrice Royale, Manila Luzon, Nina Flowers, Ongina, Pandora Boxx, Sharon Needles, William Belli and her Royal Highness herself Ru Paul. When most people think about Drag they picture Drag Queens, with their fabulously over the top make up and attitudes, however Drag Kings are becoming increasingly more popular within recent years. A Drag King will often be the epitome of heterosexual masculinity. The exaggeration is normally achieved through the application of synthetic facial hair, make up that masks femininity, stereotypically butch/ hunky outfits, comedy and endless jokes about sex, sports and other stereotypically male dominated spheres. ' This coloring book contains hand drawn portraits of the following fabulous, hunky and butch Kings: Adam All, Hetty King, Ivory Onyx, Vesta Tilley, Landon Cider ad Mo B. DIck. The beauty, confidence, colorful aesthetic and exaggerated comedy of Drag Queens make them the perfect subject for a anti stress, anti depression and anti anxiety color therapy book. Contains 20 images of Drag Queens and 15 images of Drag Kings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While drag subcultures have gained mainstream media attention in recent years, the main focus has been on female impersonators. Equally lively, however, is the community of drag kings: cis women, trans men, and non-binary people who perform exaggerated masculine personas onstage under such names as Adonis Black, Papi Chulo, and Oliver Clothesoff. King of Hearts shows how drag king performers are thriving in an unlikely location: Southern Bible Belt states like Tennessee, Georgia, and South Carolina. Based on observations and interviews with sixty Southern drag kings, this study reveals how they are challenging the region’s gender norms while creating a unique community with its own distinctive Southern flair. Reflecting the region’s racial diversity, it profiles not only white drag kings, but also those who are African American, multiracial, and Hispanic. Queer scholar Baker A. Rogers—who has also performed as drag king Macon Love—takes you on an insider’s tour of Southern drag king culture, exploring its history, the communal bonds that unite it, and the controversies that have divided it. King of Hearts offers a groundbreaking look at a subculture that presents a subversion of gender norms while also providing a vital lifeline for non-gender-conforming Southerners.

Book excerpt: Reframing Drag provides a critical survey of French and Anglo-American queer and feminist theorizations of drag performance, placing these approaches in a dialogue with contemporary drag practice and the representation of drag in three literary texts. Challenging pervasive assumptions circulating in existing queer and feminist analyses of drag performance, the author identifi es and questions three recurring ideas which have shaped the landscape of drag research: the argument that drag performances either uphold or subvert oppressive gender norms, the assumption that drag involves performing as the ‘opposite sex’, and the belief that drag can shed light on gender performativity. Informed by a range of gender and queer theory, this work contends that an intersectional, transfeminist approach to drag performance can provide richer, more nuanced understandings of drag and, unlike the ‘opposite sex’ narrative, acknowledges the gender diversity at work in current drag scenes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years drag performance has moved from the fringes to emerge as a mainstream phenomenon, showcased on TV shows in the US and the UK. This collection offers a diverse range of critical engagements by drag performers, makers, scholars and writers reflecting on work from the UK, USA, Israel, Germany and Australia. Moving beyond discussions of gender theory, the essays consider contemporary drag performance practices, connecting them to the histories, communities and politics that produced them. Chapters range across discussions of drag kings in the US, UK and drag and activism; the influence of RuPaul on the generation of new forms of work in New York; transfeminist critiques of drag; 'bio'/faux queens; engagements with race and ethnicity through drag performance; drag andragogy; audience concerns; drag intersections with animal personas, and how drag performance relates to personal narratives of history and identity. Collectively the contributions focus on drag as a mode of performance that is diverse and that uncorsets the easy thought that drag is simply a cross dressing man in a dress or a woman in a suit.

Book excerpt: Examine the cultural and political implications of male-to-female gender performance! The Drag Queen Anthology: The Absolutely Fabulous but Flawlessly Customary World of Female Impersonators examines the phenomena of male-to-female gender performance and the people who live it. This provocative collection of original essays explores the possibilities, limitations, ironies, and controversies surrounding men who perform as women to an audience that knows the truth but celebrates the illusion. The book’s contributors call on extensive backgrounds in sociology, anthropology, theater, literature—even military studies—and use a variety of approaches to address common themes and genres of presentation, performance, and style in a wide range of historical settings and cultures. The Drag Queen Anthology explores female impersonation in the past and present, addressing the often-contradictory cultural impulses found in the performance of femininity. The book examines the important issues of this unique form of gendering, including the cultural and sociopolitical implications of drag, the symbolic cultural ideals associated with women, the impact of the performer’s social identities on his performance, and the reactions of the GLBT, straight, and feminist communities to drag. The book looks at traditional drag performance, challenges accepted perceptions about female impersonation, and exposes the notion of the effeminate drag queen as an outdated myth. The Drag Queen Anthology examines the important issues of male-to-female gender performance, including: how drag queen performance is used to attain situational status and power how drag queens challenge contemporary notions of gender what embodiment occurs when men undertake performances of femininity how drag queen performance is viewed as a theatrical presentation of self what representations of drag queens in film suggest about current gender relations why communities organize around drag queen performers how drag queen performance differs on-stage and off how male-to-female gendered performance intersects with performances of sexual identity, social class, race, age, and ethnicity The Drag Queen Anthology: The Absolutely Fabulous but Flawlessly Customary World of Female Impersonators is an indispensable resource on drag’s core elements of performance and parody and how each affects contemporary notions of gender.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “funny, poignant, dishy, and even enlightening” adventure through a tight-knit world of drag performers making art, mayhem, and dreaming of making it big, this book is “the story of America now” (Alexander Chee, The New York Times). In How You Get Famous, journalist Nicole Pasulka raucously documents the rebirth of the New York drag scene, following a group of iconoclastic performers with undeniable charisma, talent, and a hell of a lot to prove. In the past decade, drag has become a place where edgy, competitive showoffs can find security in a callous and over priced city, a shot at real money, and a level of recognition queer people rarely achieve. But can drag keep its edge as it travels from the backroom to the main stage? A “joyful and scrappy” (Esquire) portrait of the 21st-century search for celebrity and community, How You Get Famous is “dripping in plush detail and drama” (Mother Jones) and “stitched together with great respect and love” (The Guardian). It’s the story of an aimless coat check worker who sweet-talked his way into hosting a drag show at a Brooklyn dive bar, a pair of teenagers sneaking into clubs and pocketing tips to help support their families, and eclectic performers who have managed to land a spot on TV and millions of followers…all colliding in an unprecedented account of a subculture on the brink of becoming a cultural phenomenon. “If you like to have a good time, you want to read this book!”—BuzzFeed
