Eaton Bush Interview



1. Who or what inspired you to become a drag king?

 I struggled with my gender indentity my entire life and I found drag to be a good outlet for me to be comfortable in public presenting as male.

 Dragoween, it's a fundraiser to help with drug and alcohol rehab in the Austin LGBTQ community.

3. Do you think not enough people know about drag king's?

 Absolutely. I hope to help change that.

4. Do you wish that there was a platform like RuPaul's Drag Race for drag king's?

 That would be fantastic.

5. How does a drag act come together for you?

 With a lot of help from other people who are much more talented than I am.

6. How long after learning how to do drag did you perform at your first show?

 It took me about 20 years.

7. What gave you the confidence to do drag?

 It is a very supportive community. I know that no one is judging me. We are all just being the best we can be.

8. How do you deal with pre-show nerve's?

 Remembering that it is for fun and entertainment. I try to not get too serious about it.

9. Do you feel like drag is a way of expressing yourself?

Alana Duvey Interview

We recently caught up with the amazing Glasgow Queen, Alana Duvey and talked about her show Drag-Opticon, how she got into drag and more! 1. How did you find out about drag? I'd say when Dharma Geddon first sat me down and made me watch RuPaul's Drag Race for the first time. I was sceptical at first as I didn't think it was something I'd enjoy too much but it was season 4, arguably one of the best, definitely one of our favourites and I was hooked from the start. Sharon Needles, Latrice Royale and Chad Michaels were very much my standouts right off the bat! I guess I always remember Lily Savage, Dame Edna and Eddie Izzard being on TV growing up too, I always found them hilarious and still do. I always knew they were men in dresses but I was maybe a bit too young at that point to know that's a thing called drag or transvestism and that's what they were practicing. 2. What made you decide that this is what you wanted to do? It's crazy as I never w

We recently caught up with Jay Jackson aka "Laganja Estranja" and talked about dancing, drag, dancing queen and more! Check out our interiew below and we hope you enjoy it!                                                  Photography: Davide Laffe 1. Who or what inspired you to start drag? I was definitely inspired by the greats such as Coco Peru and Divine, the drag queens that came long before drag race, obviously RuPaul is a huge inspiration to me. I grew up with movies such as " But I'm Not a Cheerleader" , movies where he had small cameo roles, but he had such a big presence as a drag artist. I'm definitely inspired by people like Alan Cummings and overall I would say the art form itself inspired me at a young age because it was really a collaboration of dance, theatre, makeup, costuming, which was very common to what I was doing at the time which was Musical Theatre. 2. What made you decide to start dancing? I decided to start dancing when
