I went to Drag-Con Uk!!! (And it was Awesome!!!!)
If you read my previous blog-post on Astro-Cartography, you’ll have noted that London is a city full of promise, opportunity and good times for me. So it was absolutely the perfect setting for my first Drag Con!
I am FAN of all the foreign franchises of RuPaul’s Drag Race so I had the most FANTASTIC time!!!! I landed at London-Heathrow early Friday morning, January 6 and got myself to the venue, the smashingly innovative ExCel London in time for the Queen’s Walk at 10:30 AM. (Click here to see my somewhat fuzzy video of the Queen’s Walk at DragCon UK 2023). I was still lugging my bags as I couldn’t check into my hotel yet, so just before the Queen’s Walk began….
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.
My Violet Chachki Summer 💜
Violet Chachki is unabashedly sex-positive. She exudes an expensive style of self-confidence and poise and yet she can also be super silly when she’s with Gottmik on their hit YouTube show “No Gorge” - which is basically two snooty drag queens clowning around 👑
This summer I had two opportunities to see my diva perform in all her glory. One, an up-close club gig and the other, her epic drag-burlesque-acrobatic masterpiece, A Lot More Me.
Daya Betty Eats the Dragon Fly!
How uncanny that on Friday's episode of RuPaul's Drag Race, there was a Dragon Fly in the Werk Room.
Dragon Flies have long been associated with mysticism, transformation and a shedding of darkness to discover hidden luminosity. Dragon Flies are also associated with the faerie realm.
By ingesting the Dragon Fly, Daya Betty is taking the mystical power of transformation into her body and gracing herself with good luck in this competition.
