death of drag
A famous old drag performer passed away, a local celebrity who has done her act for decades and decades. Limited hearsay tells me it is nothing I want to see — report from a straight woman who watched once and left at an intermission had a kind of Insult act feeling it at her expense for the guffaws of the gay male crowd — do with it what you will. What I wonder is if their business is going to have a sign, along the lines of Mary’s Club for its strip club owner at his passing, the years of her life on the current sign and r.i.p. and all that — something on the “industry pioneer”, dates of birth some ninety years ago and then death in 2023 — which, if it were like how Mary’s Club had its sign, will still be up there in 2033 long past all memorials.
