@DabathaChrist
in DC and YES she’s an icon! Ps her bday was 4/20 I bet she’d super appreciate if you went to wish her happy bday on insta @/dabathachristie !
When Sigourney said “I’ve had to build myself up on my own, doing whatever I want, when the fuck I want, and fuck everybody else for it, either get with it or get out,” as a fellow performer too often reduced to the parts they were born with, I felt that
If you can’t navigate nightlife without an ounce of understanding and compassion for people who use substances (and newsflash, mj is also a substance), you have no business being in nightlife.
This is so beyond ugly and also a bold-faced, blatant lie. This is the sign in question. Nowhere does it call for violence against Jews* (*used specifically in reference to their word-choice). Tabu has consistently fostered an authority of anti-Blackness and even anti-transness
Not enough of y’all are going up for Riley Poppyseed & ion like that! 😤 First EVER Black Drag King to make it to the finals of a televised competition & been absolutely CRUSHING it! Not to mention he’s hands down one of the best performers I’ve ever had the privilege of watching
Lil’ highlight reel of Chicago! Y’all really know how to make a boi feel special 🤩
Always looking for new adventures and stages to light up so please don’t hesitate to reach out if you’re looking to book a king!
Unless you’ve lived the life of a Black or Brown Trans person, you will never understand the lengths we have to go to in order to reap maybe a third of what our ⚪️ or cis cohorts receive. I know y’all are tired of hearing it but we’re tired of living it. Things need to change.
@MzPeaches__
Honestly usually I’m broke but I’ll still at least figure out a way to give every performer at LEAST a dollar but more than that I’ll literally be the mean girls mom and find every possible way to make sure I get every shot I can so performers can use it for whatever they need!
Riley Poppyseed is seriously not just one of the best drag kings, but one of the best drag artists I’ve ever seen perform - I can’t wait to see him slay - AND I’d love to work with some local producers to get him out to the DMV for my show as well as yours! Pls 🥹
Seeing a huge increase in violence toward anyone perceived as AFAB (femmes, non-binary folx, transmascs) by cis gays in our local gay bars & this is NOT. OK! It isn’t enough to virtue signal - we need action & we need it now. Cis gays, queens who work there, please do something!
My car is quite literally my lifeline. If I’m not commuting into the city for shifts at the club, I’m driving for ubereats or traveling to other cities for gigs/work.
Anything to help me get back on the road is so appreciated.

We The Kingz is one of very few FREE all drag king shows across the DMV & the ONLY drag show with HIPS distributing free harm reduction resources. Theres absolutely NO reason kings from out of town should be leaving with less than $10 tips. Support your fucking drag kings.
TOOK A HUGE RISK AND I MAY NEVER RECOVER PHYSICALLY (body painted my entire body green) BUT IT PAID OFF AND I MADE IT TO WEEK THREE Y’ALL WE GETTIN’ FRANKY’S FRIES 😭
Now that I’m home & have had time to fully process – I was making the joke that if it weren’t for testosterone I would’ve been sobbing but the tears are truly free-flowing now. tysm to everyone who nominated & voted me for Community Changemaker tonight. To a brighter future 💕💕
Issssss my balloon day! Turning 30 today! Ngl my bank account is pretty ugly right now and shows are hella light this month while I’ve been on the hunt for a day job 🥲 if you’ve ever enjoyed what I do I’d love a tip or two if you have it to spare! vmo/cshpp are @/$rickyyrosee 🫶🏽
I am a thembo. I am a genderful genderfucker. I am who I am because of my trancestors who came before me. Thank you @/throb.zombie (IG) for everything, but especially this absolute masterpiece.
lmao some of yall really tryin’ it on my
TL! “Amateur drag” as if I haven’t been at this for seven years, internationally known, several titles including many firsts, and have headlined over a dozen festivals & prides across the country but since yall don’t gaf about drag kings…
@transsexualist
I saved up for 7 years for these 2 new ones 😅 (the one on my inner forearm was the first I ever got and all done by this artist @ tat2greg on ig & based in ATL)
If y’all don’t put some MF respect on DC MF KINGS!!! Two of us on Good Morning America last week and traveling internationally, two of us just winning local competitions LIKE WE RUNNIN’ THIS SHIT - so proud of us 😤
All jokes aside, I really need drag queens to stop engaging in performance styles (ie sideshow/aerial/burlesque) that take years of practice and study ‘cause you either look tacky or are gonna hurt yourself/others or both when not executed properly esp all for a few dollars 😶🌫️
When the restaurant starts a whole new account specifically for drag brunch because of the kings 😤😤😤
Stay tuned for a future drag king brunch and make sure you are SEATED!
The concept of bullying people over a video game is so funny to me because there are dozens of policies and policymakers actively trying to erase our existence but you’re choosing to hop on the latest pop culture cancellation fad to appear as though you’re doing something
@StevenLandin
But like to have to spend that much money again or more when she so very clearly deserved it this first time around????? Disrespectful for real 😭😭😭😭😭😭
"If you don't like it, book yourself" Ok cissie, name a gay bar that won't tell me every other month they "don't have the budget" for my show ideas but suddenly do for all these all-queen shows...
Sometimes I’m afraid this act is going to get old, and then I perform it in a new city and well, I just wanna perform this in every city on earth now. See you here in Philly @ Tabu on Sat Aug 7 in Hot Stuff, Philly’s newest Drag King Show! Hosted by Deej Nutz & Hannibal Lickher!
@kyragardner20
Well yeah cause she flailed all over the stage with no intention or purpose lolol but slay - not mad she won overall but she certainly didn’t win that lip sync.
As a queer boi on T, I’ve been increasingly expanding my roster and fallen into the role of being several cis gay mens’ wet, wild, and wonderful first experiences with a pussy and that’s why this pride month I am partnering with West Virginia.

@Murray_Hill
! So beyond grateful for this opportunity for this incredible cast of 20 kings to shine & it’s only up from here!
Chicago, thank you thank you thank you for all the love last night! I was so flooded with emotion over the reception of this act particularly I almost stopped mid-track 🥺
