Who's ready for a little Cul-cha? Here's an interesting documentary on drag.

Drag out some popcorn - drag a chair over here - and settle in... It's 25 minutes long. Seriously. Now, don't be a drag...

Now drag your ass back to work! :lol:

Whatever happen to the Sisters? They used to be such an integral part of Burn culture.

I think the Utah version is Sisters of the Zion Curtain

But there are other non-profit fund-raising charity groups here, like Utah Cyber Sluts and The Matrons of Mayhem...but I don't know that any of them go out to Burning Man. :?

It would be pretty awesome to have them out in the desert, though!

Which, oddly enough, reminds me of that one time at Burning Man...

My first year at TTITD (2007), I walked across town to find a drag-queen jeopardy game, supposedly already in progress. I never found it, but I did meet a queen wandering in more or less the same direction as I. As we ambled along she spent the better part of two blocks negotiating an exchange: She would gift me the best oral sex I had ever had in my life *if* I would be willing to gift her twenty-five bucks. For my part, I made every effort to explain the concept of "gifting" - that the gift was given freely, solely for the pleasure of giving the gift, with no expectation of reciprocation... After a while she gave up and left, but promised to pray for my miserly soul.

Good thing I was a recent convert and held fast to the iron rod of the Ten Principles...or I might have lost the bar's ice money... :lol:
