I’m not sure how Wikipedia chooses images for its drag queen articles, but flattering photos are obviously not a priority.

The article on Wigstock, the famed outdoor drag festival, is accompanied by a "comical" image of founder Lady Bunny and Sherry Vine at the 2008 Tribeca Film Festival. How utterly random!

 

For her article, NYC performer Hedda Lettuce gets a lovely caught-in-mid-sentence shot.

 

Lucky porn director Chi Chi LaRue is provided with a stark daytime portrait.

 

Drag legend Divine—unretouched and poorly-cropped.

 

They couldn't find a photo of Dame Edna looking at the camera?

 

RuPaul's pix include this out-of-drag gotcha shot.

 

The evidence is clear: Wikipedia is a threat to the well-being and looks of the drag community!
