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!

 

The restaurant is called Lips, yet I neglected my lips for the drag restaurant’s 15-year anniversary bash!

Why the heck did I choose a soft color lipstick?

Not a good idea!

 

I should have borrowed some lipstick from Yvonne Lamé or Sherry Vine... I mean after disinfecting it.

 

Last night I made up for my mistake by going bold—visible even in a washed out photo (my favorite type!).

 

When you’re hired help at a party it’s tacky to whip out a camera and start snapping photos.

So when I got a job earlier this week hosting an upper-crust birthday bash (Thanks Garrin and Viva for the gig!), I politely confined my picture taking to backstage of my fellow entertainers.

 

With cohost Sherry Vine. The theme was Weimar, but my headgear makes me look like an accident victim!

Just another simple look from Darrell of the Pixie Harlots.

 

Dirty Martini looking lovely, with freshly-scrubbed armpits!

 

Flossing floozies—Pixie Harlots Johnny and Machine Dazzle.

 

Julie Atlas Muz prepares for her giant-ballon act. Pop art!

 

The secret life of entertainers!

How randomly surreal!  Last night I found myself, of all places, at the Empire State Building for of all things, a Lady Gaga impersonation contest.

The party, in the ground-floor Empire Club, wasn’t exactly mobbed, but fun still ensued with a ridiculous cast of drag queens, all of them much, much older than Gaga herself (who was performing at nearby Madison Square Garden).

The eyes reveal all.  DJ Miss Guy nodding on downers, Sherry Vine flying high on uppers.

All of Sherry’s fans showed up.

Get ready twist-off bottle—Sherry’s ready to pucker!

A startled Lady Bunny wakes from snoring.  Time to emcee the show!

Miss Guy shooting the evil eye when we requested some tunes made after 1985.

Bunny and Sherry begged me to sit with them to make it look like they were popular.

Sherry’s loose “tuck” helped distract from her “singing.”

The Gaga lookalike competition was not exactly stiff.

The winner received two tickets to see Gaga in concert.  Now don’t you wish you had entered?
