Drag has a rich history in the Pacific Northwest. We hear about the legendary drag queen Darcelle XV, who had been an entertainer for more than five decades when she died last year at the age of 92, and the queens who are carrying on her legacy of love and laughter. We round out the episode with two Pacific Northwest queens who have competed on RuPaul’s Drag Race, and say that the culture of drag is different here.
At the peak of drag performance being criminalized across the country, the downtown clothing store Wildfang has partnered with the iconic Darcelle XV Showplace to break a Guinness World Record for the longest drag artist stage show. Kicking off on Monday, the event is also raising $250k for LGBTQ+ youth. So today on City Cast Portland, host Claudia Meza talks with Kevin Cook or, as he's better known, Poison Waters. She's been working at the legendary Darcelle XV Showplace for over 30 years. And since reigning queen Darcelle XV, and world record holder of oldest working drag queen, passed away earlier this year at 92, Poison became the official host. Poison is sharing how she became a part of Darcelle XV Showplace's legacy and why drag performance is so deeply entrenched in Portland culture.

After Portland superstar Darcelle XV, also known as Walter Cole, passed away at the age of 92, Poison Waters and other fellow drag queens at Darcelle XV Showplace hosted a show in her honor, fulfilling Darcelle's wish that the show would go on after her death.Poison Waters, also known as Kevin Cook, is a local legend in her own right, having performed drag for 35 years, and she's set to serve as the Grand Marshal in Portland's Starlight Parade this year, following in the footsteps of Darcelle, who led the parade in 2010.Poison Waters was a guest on this week's episode of Straight Talk to talk about Darcelle, the Starlight Parade and the importance of celebrating Pride Month, especially in an era when drag queens have come under increasing attack in many parts of the country through drag bans and bad faith protests.Pride is celebrated in June to honor the Stonewall Riots, an uprising in New York City that began on June 28, 1969, when police raided The Stonewall Inn, a gay club in Greenwich Village. Protests against the raid lasted for 6 days and served as a catalyst for the gay rights movement around the world.

The entertainment world had two significant losses this spring with the deaths of Darcelle XV and Dame Edna Everage. Their lives were fascinating (including a child abducted by a koala!?) and well-lived and they will be missed by their fans. We also talk to Stevan Lemke about his fatigue to help others navigate this debilitating symptom.

We're revisiting this episode of The Long Play from 2016 featuring Darcelle XV. Before Stonewall and the legalization of gay marriage, before RuPaul or Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, there was Darcelle XV's. Founded in 1967, it's the longest-running drag revue in the country, with a never-ending parade of bejeweled dresses, feather boas, Cher tunes, and double entendres. Now 86 years old (at the time of this interview), and still hosting multiple shows a night, we sat down with Darcelle and her right-hand queen, Poison Waters, to talk about what drag means and how the club has evolved, and to swap some great old stories.The Long Play was a Portland Monthly podcast, featuring unedited conversations with Portland innovators, game changers, and generally fascinating people.
Oregon health officials warn the state is on the verge of having COVID-19 go out of control. Darcelle XV says between coronavirus and the demonstrations it's difficult to stay in business. The State of Oregon warns about a scam that claims you have unclaimed money.

Retreating from inspiration due to inexperience is something that Travis Z cannot comprehend. Our old friend rejoins us this week from an undisclosed location in Bel Air to talk about his new documentary about the oldest working Drag Queen in the world. Travis talks about what has inspired him as a filmmaker and how he maintains a positive outlook on life and his career in film. In the intro, Randy and Clark are trendy bitches and talk “El Camino” while Russ dusted off three deep-pull documentaries to keep the theme of “Doctober” going. Submissions for UFF 3 are open at https://filmfreeway.com/UnnamedFootageFestival Theme song by Darryl Blood - darrylblood.bandcamp.com/ If you'd like to get in contact with us, you can reach us at Podcast@TheOverlookTheatre.com, on Instagram (@theoverlooktheatre), Facebook (theoverlookhour/theoverlooktheatre), or Twitter (@OverlookHour/@OverlookTheatre).
Episode 2 is here! I sat down with my cousin Garrick Jackson, a licensed professional social worker and former tribal council member, to discuss Two Spirit people in Native American culture. We also look at the case of Adree Edmo, who successfully sued the State of Idaho/Department of Corrections to pay for and facilitate gender reassignment surgery. Finally, we talk about the world’s oldest and Portland’s own drag queen, Darcelle XV and Garrick’s involvement in her annual drag queen competition. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/Native-As-I-Can-Be/support
This week Art and Susan welcome Walter Cole/Darcelle XV! With the help of our friend and Portland luminary Helen Raptis from KATU, we were excited to interview the legendary Darcelle XV, the Oldest Working Drag Queen in the World. Darcelle has been a Portland icon for over 50 years and is being honored with a musical (That's No Lady) opening Sep 19 at PSU's Lincoln Hall, featuring music by Storm Large, Tom Grant, and Marv and Rindy Ross among others. She is also the subject of a book entitiled Darcelle - Looking From My Mirror with a forward by Matt Groenig also scheduled for a Sep 19 release. What a fascinating life. Wonderful stories and such a kind heart, Darcelle has supported the LGBTQ community for decades, speaking in schools about tolerance and staying true to yourself. This was an amazing hour and we feel honored to have had this chance. And we feel super grateful that Helen was willing to join us for this memorable interview.

We had our very first live show at the 2019 Listen Up PDX Festival in February! While Portland has lovely people and delicious potatoes, it also has legendary drag, including the oldest working drag queen (with a Guinness World Record to prove it!), Darcelle XV! We had the huge honor of sitting down with both Darcelle (aka Walter Cole) and Portland's premier drag clown Anthony Hudson (aka Carla Rossi) to discuss what exactly is Portland drag, how the city's drag scene even started (it's largely thanks to lesbians!) and the experience of watching the queer community evolve through some of its most formative decades.

For my first conversation, I was excited to sit down with Darcelle XV. Darcelle has been a local icon and inspiration in Portland, Oregon for over 40 years. Darcelle was previously know as Walter Cole, a boy who grew into a man and did what he thought men should do. He married, got a traditional job and had children. However in his late 30’s he could no longer live the lie of being straight, so, he came out to his wife in the 60’s and set on new journey that led him into another loving relationship with a man for over 50 years and Guinness World Book of records title of the Oldest Working Drag Queen in the world at 87 years of age.Darcelle has been a mentor and an example of strength and courage for gay and straight people everywhere and and is truly a person who is growing old on his own terms, with grace and humor.

In this week's episode we feature Walter Cole, you might know him by his stage name, Darcelle. Walter was born and raised in Portland, and in the 60's bought a tavern that became the Darcelle XV Showplace. He started dressing in drag shortly after he bought the tavern and in 2016 Darcelle was recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the World's Oldest Drag Queen.
