Last night, my girlfriend and I finished King of Drag. Genuinely such a fun show and addition to the roulette of drag TV shows. The Kings were wildly talented, and omg the variety! My personal shout-out goes to Chicago’s very own Tenderoni judging, and serving up inspo for the contestants. Don’t sleep on the Chicago Drag King scene…
