Kaylee and Rachel are back from their hiatus with a truly incredible guest, THE Simon Doonan! They had the pleasure of discussing his new book, ( AVAILABLE NOW!! ) "Drag: The Complete Story" and his own personal connection to drag, curation, and his career."Drag: The Complete Story," covers the history and spectrum of drag by studying the nuances and varieties of drag. It is packed with examples, images, and performers for concrete evidence of each style, and descriptions of how they changed the narrative of drag moving forward. 100% of the author proceeds benefit the Ali Forney Center, which protects LGBTQ+ youth from homelessness.#DoonanOnDrag #DragTheCompleteStoryFIND US!Simon Doonan simondoonan.comDekaylee / Salem Massacre dekaylee.comRachel Britton rachelbrittonphoto.comSupport the show (https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=LPQ5JC5P5QX4E&source=url)
