3. What is
drag?
● The term "drag" refers to the
performance of femininity or other forms
of gender expression.
● A drag queen is someone (can be trans
woman, trans man, gay man or even
straight man )
● Drag includes dressing up, crazy makeup,
gender crossing, personas
4. - transform you into a completely
different character that is not
necessarily intrinsic to you.
- Temporary dress-up for play
without a continuous
development of the persona
DRAG VS Costume
- extension of your character
and personality - it's a creative
outlet where you can show an
aspect of who you are through
artistic means.
- More permanent with the
development of a
character/persona (whether in
performance or just styling).
And there is an element of
exaggeration (whether it be
facial features, silhouette, or
something less literal.)

8. What I like about the show
the Art of Self-Love
● Queens are in different sizes, with different
nationality, race, age and sexual orientations
● judged upon drag skills instead of narrow
beauty standards
● Offer queer ways of being beautiful
● Illustrate the sense of self acceptance and
self-actualization through the journey of the
participants
9. What I like about the show
a form of activism towards conservatism
- Conservatism is all about surfaces and labels and
presentation
- In drag , people refuse to follow any rules about that
- Oppositional to cultures of fear and hate in fun and freeing
way
- Acceptance of broad gender spectrum
- Stereotype for men and women
- Raise awareness of unfair treatment for non-binary people,
trans people, people of color, and even women
