You’d think they came out the womb with an intense contour and a thigh-high white leather boot, but they all First started sometime way later. We asked some famous faces from all over the London drag Time scene to tell us about their first time they dragged up… In Drag! The first time I did drag was reluctantly (yeah right) for a competition in Southampton that my friends wanted me to do. It was at an old pub near the docks and they had a ‘Stars In Their Eyes’ competition. I was 20 and it was a toss up between Adam Son of a Tutu Rickitt or Mariah I was a jolly drag child long before I knew what drag was. That Carey. Mariah won was until reports of my escapades reached my father who, in his obvs! I didn’t win ultra-religious fury, beat the living hell out of me. I was ten years (I came second old at the time and had no idea what I had done wrong, but as a to Elton John) but result, did not go near drag again for over thirty years. still enjoyed it! I My first official time in drag was in Drag Idol; I succumbed didn›t do it again to the nagging of a friend and my own inner-voice but only half- for over 10 years!!! heartedly due to the lingering trauma of my childhood: I wore Funnily enough, I men’s shoes and trousers, a black woman’s vest with a shrug, now do a Mariah a gele (headtie) and a face that looked like it had been painted tribute act and I will by blind elephants; the date was 19th May 2010 at the Two be doing ‘Stars In Brewers; I remember it well as it was Tutu’s birthdate and my own Your Eyes’ again personal rebirth. at Her Upstairs, For the first time in my adult life, I felt that I had found me; not but this time, I will because I was any good at it, because I wasn’t, and very quickly be impersonating crashed out of the competition (I would go back a year later), a way bigger slag, but, because despite what I looked or sounded like, I had finally Lady Lloyd! heeded the call of my own DNA and stopped running, and that is Silver the essence of self-actualisation and happiness. I would go on to many ups and downs as a professional drag queen, but even the worst lows did not matter as I was home in my own self. I wish for everybody to find that: to live in accordance of what you are built-for whether it be drag persona, nurse, accountant, gardener Summers or QX-journo (yuck lol); to find it is bliss. 8 qxmagazine.com QX_1141_First time in drag.indd 8 17/01/2017 15:25 My first drag performance was in September 2015 at CC Blooms in Edinburgh. I like to think I’ve improved since then, but I also thought Brexit wouldn’t happen, so what do I know? My shoes were two sizes too big, so when the music started, I ended up lobbing them across the bar. I slit Dave Lynn my knee wide open doing something on the floor - dancing I think was what I was My first time in drag was at The Black Cap In a talent contest actually attempting hosted by Jennifer Scott. The other competitors included Mrs Ripley - and I nearly blinded Shufflewick and Marc Fleming. I was only 16 years old and I lip a punter by whipping synced to Liza Minnelli and Dusty Springfield.

It is, therefore, also an occasion for us to reflect on the past year in the life of our working group and its members. However difficult the year has been, this has also been the time when PoSoCoMeS organized and held its first conference which included over 30 panels and 9 keynote events, and gathered 146 participants from 35 different countries. Little did we know when we were drawing up the program in early 2020 that this conference would have to take place on- line. The success of the conference (judging by the number of participants and attendees as well as the positive feedback the organizers received at the end) testified to the strength and diversity of the working group as well as its commitment to fostering the field of postsocialist memory studies. In this newsletter, we are looking back at the PoSoCoMes confer- ence and forward to the MSA annual meeting in July 2021 as well as to new activities and projects by group members.

  • Fiscal Year 2020 Annual Report
    Fiscal Year 2020 Annual Report A Note from Our Director The Arkansas State Board of Pharmacy has a rich and lengthy history in our endeavors to protect the public health and welfare by and through the effective regulation of the many aspects of the drug delivery system. Even when we may think we have seen everything; something will always surprise you. While everyone is aware of the large‐scale impact that COVID 19 has had in our nation and across the world, specific impacts in pharmacy have been a stressor we have not seen previously. In fact, our office has seen firsthand how our staff, board and permit holders were all able to handle this pandemic and respond rapidly to ensure our ability to continue serving the public in many new and innovative ways. Throughout our review this year you will see numerous examples of how the Arkansas State Board of Pharmacy responded to the rapidly evolving need to consider requests and deliver guidance on how pharmacies, pharmacists, support staff, drug distributors and other permit holders could both socially distance and continue to serve patients. In my 15+ years with the Board, let me just say that this year is different. If you look back over the past few years especially you will see a common focus for the Board of Pharmacy and that has been one of educational outreach and partnerships to help with the issues of prescription drug abuse, misuse, and addictive disease. Unfortunately, through this pandemic, we have seen statistics indicating a marked increase in drug overdoses and suicide attempts as well as increases in the utilization of naloxone as a life saving measure to reverse opioid induced overdoses.
