Just two of his seemingly 4.6 billion gigs are the Old Skool House Party at Mary’s Attic (2nd Friday of each month) and Downtown Lights at Downtown Bar and Lounge (1st and 3rd Fridays). What about 4th Fridays, Moose? Ya gettin’ lazy? Lots of great events coming up.

Times changes, people change and as Exposé once said, seasons change. Depending on what era of music you’re in, a passé artist has a good chance to make a comeback. Back in the ‘90s it wasn’t uncommon to see oldies like Bonnie Raitt, Cher, Don Henley and Santana making huge comebacks and not only selling to the boomers, but to younger listeners as well; whereas in the ‘60s and the ‘00s to now, the singles charts are really run by artists under 30. Even someone like X-Tina is considered a bit long in the tooth to still be playing. Well, it’s time to change that. There are a lot of great artists who’ve given up, stopped trying to be innovative, or are just waiting in the wings for the tides to change. So I’ve rounded up a few of my fantasy comebacks for your consideration. Taylor Dayne: If only she can first admit she’s a top-knotch singer (and a second-rate actress), and second, if she can stop being such a B* (in Apt 23), she could really do well with a full on soul record. Don’t go the cheesy, stale Kristine W route of club tunes that died 10 years ago. See Lisa Stansfield who’s working on her first album in almost a decade and going fully back to hear slinky soul sound. Prince & Madonna: I do realize I raz on the Purple One and the Menopausal-Girl a bit much in this column, but if these two would put as much effort into their new original material as they do into their sold out live shows, they’d both be back at the top immediately. The followings are there, but neither one of them can write anymore and seem to just phone in new material in order to play something new at their shows. Both of you: Get some quality production and a few hip, young co-writers. You’re both teetering on the edge of becoming an oldies act for life. Rick Astley: You’d think the Rick-rolling phenomenon of a few years ago would have been the best platform for the “Never Gonna Give You Up” singer to work the proverbial room, but no. He put out one fantastic, but not well-promoted single, “Lights Out,” with no follow-up album. It’s a shame. His voice and quality of material is better than it’s ever been, and the man still looks 30 years old. Finally, George Michael: Whatever you’re still on, put it down, girl. Your last single, “White Light,” proclaiming you had made it out of the darkness, rang about as true as Whitney’s final album where she chanted about sobriety and redemption only to fall a few years later. We’re not buying it and the Cher-like autotune mangling of “White Light” covered the best thing about you, that silky smooth voice. Solution, get legit clean and get a real team behind you. Real instruments, real writers, maybe even Andrew Ridgeley, and stop making self- produced synth trash. You’re better than this, George. You’re all better than this. Now go prove it. We’ll be waiting, and buying. DJ Moose will be playing many of these artists at his new Old Skool House Party at Mary’s Attic on the second Saturday of each month. 10nightspots January 23, 2013 Yes, Oprah, I can finally admit to the use of lady love-making enhancing devices.

It analyses the representation of drag by explaining some basic terms and the study of the history of drag. It then analyses the evolution of the representation of drag queens in movies and shows. The main focus of this thesis is the American TV show RuPaul's Drag Race and how it changed the portrayal of drag and the LGBTQ+ community in popular culture. The thesis questions if the show is as progressive and diverse as it proclaims to be and if it shows the authentic image of drag culture. 3 THE HISTORY AND REPRESENTATION OF DRAG IN POPULAR CULTURE; HOW WE GOT TO RUPAUL Declaration I hereby declare that this thesis with title The History and Representation of Drag in Popular Culture; How We Got to RuPaul I submit for assessment is entirely my own work and has not been taken from the work of others save to the extent that such work has been cited and acknowledged within the text of my thesis.

  • “It's Not Personal, It's Drag”: the Sassy Politics of Rupaul's Drag Race
    Felipe González Silva 2078621G MLitt Film and Television Studies Dissertation – September 2015 “It’s Not Personal, It’s Drag”: The Sassy Politics of RuPaul’s Drag Race Supervised by Professor Karen Lury University of Glasgow Word count: 14,840 Beneficiario COLFUTURO 2014 Abstract After the success of reality competition shows such as Project Runway and America’s Next Top Model in the United States, RuPaul’s Drag Race reached the small screen to be the first TV programme of its kind to feature drag queens. Through textual analysis and theories of queer and feminist studies, this thesis joins the fundamental debates about drag and its role in society. With these debates as a starting point, this thesis is dedicated to determining the position of Drag Race within the tension between gay politics and queer politics that lies in the programme’s construction of what drag is supposed to be. By focusing on the relation of masculinity and femininity in drag, and on the role of sleaziness in drag, this thesis argues that RuPaul’s Drag Race refuses to be located unequivocally as a project of either gay or queer politics. This reading does not only propose an innovative take on the programme but it also manages to further problematise the distinction between the two “kinds” of politics. Key words: RuPaul’s Drag Race, drag, gay politics, queer politics, femininity, masculinity, sleaziness, gender, race ii Acknowledgements I would like to show gratitude to my supervisor, Professor Karen Lury. Her impressive knowledge and sensibility about television and academia in general, along with her commitment to my project, helped me develop this dissertation successfully.

Drag Race continues to become more profitable and successful by the year and arguably shapes cultural ideas of queer performances in manifold ways. This project investigates the impacts of exploitative labour practices that emerge from the show, the commodification of drag when represented on screen, and how the show influences drag and queer performances off screen.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Reading RuPaul’s Drag Race: Queer Memory, Camp Capitalism, and RuPaul’s Drag Empire A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Culture and Performance by Carl Douglas Schottmiller 2017 © Copyright by Carl Douglas Schottmiller 2017 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Reading RuPaul’s Drag Race: Queer Memory, Camp Capitalism, and RuPaul’s Drag Empire by Carl Douglas Schottmiller Doctor of Philosophy in Culture and Performance University of California, Los Angeles, 2017 Professor David H Gere, Chair This dissertation undertakes an interdisciplinary study of the competitive reality television show RuPaul’s Drag Race, drawing upon approaches and perspectives from LGBT Studies, Media Studies, Gender Studies, Cultural Studies, and Performance Studies. Hosted by veteran drag performer RuPaul, Drag Race features drag queen entertainers vying for the title of “America’s Next Drag Superstar.” Since premiering in 2009, the show has become a queer cultural phenomenon that successfully commodifies and markets Camp and drag performance to television audiences at heretofore unprecedented levels. Over its nine seasons, the show has provided more than 100 drag queen artists with a platform to showcase their talents, and the Drag Race franchise has expanded to include multiple television series and interactive live events. The RuPaul’s Drag Race phenomenon provides researchers with invaluable opportunities not only to consider the function of drag in the 21st Century, but also to explore the cultural and economic ramifications of this reality television franchise. ii While most scholars analyze RuPaul’s Drag Race primarily through content analysis of the aired television episodes, this dissertation combines content analysis with ethnography in order to connect the television show to tangible practices among fans and effects within drag communities.

  • RELIGIOUS “REALNESS” a Consideration of Disparate Subjectivity Via “Rupauline Drag” and the House of Labeija
    Syracuse University SURFACE Theses - ALL May 2019 CATEGORY IS: RELIGIOUS “REALNESS” A Consideration of Disparate Subjectivity via “RuPauline Drag” and the House of LaBeija Joss Rae Willsbrough Syracuse University Follow this and additional works at: https://surface.syr.edu/thesis Part of the Arts and Humanities Commons Recommended Citation Willsbrough, Joss Rae, "CATEGORY IS: RELIGIOUS “REALNESS” A Consideration of Disparate Subjectivity via “RuPauline Drag” and the House of LaBeija" (2019). Theses - ALL. 330. https://surface.syr.edu/thesis/330 This Thesis is brought to you for free and open access by SURFACE. It has been accepted for inclusion in Theses - ALL by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. ABSTRACT The project considers the disparity between two case studies of “drag:” 1) “RuPauline drag” (RuPaul’s Drag Race, RuPaul, and affiliated properties), and 2) the House of LaBeija as a microcosm of ballroom drag, an international phenomenon comprised predominantly by queer and trans people of color (QTPOC) competing in self-hosted “balls.” These “cases” are assessed as ideal texts, that is, ideal types (heuristic and reductive) which are interpreted as texts (via hermeneutical methodology) in hopes of comparing the cases for the subjectivities they foster and the orientations they promulgate. This work begins with a comparison of the “cases” via the settings in which they occur, contrasting their relationship to and deployment of race, gender, class, and sex(uality), while the latter half examines their practices and professed values, via performance, ritual, kinship, and fantasy, for the orientations they create and sustain. Taken together, the comparison of these “cases” aims to resist the flat, cisgender-heterosexual-normative reading of “drag” as a homogenous practice and insists that the demarcation of certain subjects as “religious” further marginalizes and invalidates people and communities for whom drag holds an ultimate importance.
