Goddess Among Us:
Kira Stone
Kira Stone is a legend in Providence. She has a penetrating and passionate presence, escorting her audiences into a fiery emotional realm with her lip-syncs to Celine Dion, Melissa Etheridge, Taylor Swift and Amy Grant. Kira throws her full self into each song, leaving nothing behind. She could easily become the next great “lip-sync assassin”. In her weekly stand-up at her Tuesday gig with cohost Lili Whiteass, Kira gets dirty on the mic - recounting tales of fantastical sexual escapes and eating steak & cheese subs in lascivious detail.
Drag in the Creative Capitol
Every Thursday at Club EGO on Richmond Street, the “EGO Babes” put on an all-star drag show, with new one-of-a-kind performances every week - so it hurts to miss it!
Last Night at the Stable….
The Stable Bar in Downtown Providence, Rhode Island has become a destination venue for the darker side of drag talent. With Boston’s famed Violencia Exclamation Point and Providence’s own Ninny Nothin as resident hosts, the Stable has been importing stars from the dark-drag competition television series, Dragula much to the delight of local drag super-fans.
Is the future of drag a Waka Shame?
Waka Shame's carefully constructed looks merge glamour with a unique, under-worldly nature-spirit fantasy and to be honest, more than any other queen, Waka Shame inspires the type of drag I aspire too...because drag has the potential to be so much more than just lip-syncing at the gay bar and a rolodex of slick reads.
The Boulet Brothers: High Queens of Dark & Dirty Drag
I slammed my laptop shut on Season 1, Episode 1 of Dragula - the Drag Competition Reality show that replaces "Charisma, Uniqueness, Nerve & Talent" with "Horror, Filth & Glamour". The first extermination challenge was so creepy and gross I wasn't sure I had the nerve for this show. Yes the discovery that my borrowed Netflix account hosted Season 2, and my fast-fondness for the subterranean sexual tension between Biqtch Puddin & Abhora, quickly converted me into a feisty Dragula fanatic.
