Drag 101

Here is The Media's unfinished/ongoing collection of our favorite drag moments (available for viewing on the internet). For people just getting into drag, we hope this presents an accurate depiction of the insane range of drag personalities worldwide. And on the verge of moving to Los Angeles this very morning, Faye may have added four videos solely from Mickey's SHOWGIRLS series monday nights in West Hollywood. Sorry, not sorry. Just excited.

Excuse me while we weep gentle tears to this Bangkok version of Lana Del Rey's "Video Games."

+++

The only reason I chose this SSION video over the others is because OMG look at that alien's room. You cannot tell me you don't wish it were yours.

+++

Had the fortune of seeing this Detox performance to the theme song from Mannequin live, and dear god that woman can hold still.

+++

One of the best drag phenomenons is when queens make fun of each other. Here's Raven mimicking Detox and making us straight up LOL.

+++

Ugh sometimes drag videos are so spot on they really make you wanna reevaluate your whole life.

+++

Ongina continuously makes us cry during her emotional performances to classic pop anthems. Also check out her performance to Xtina Aguiler's "Beautiful."

+++

If ANYBODY knows who this queen is please tell them to come see us because I'm def tryna be BFFs.

Edit: her name is Dia Dear! Thanks Sebastian.

+++

This short film is a video extension of Steven Meisel's photoshoot of Carmen Carrera. It's called Showgirl and it's everything I'd ever want in a burlesque movie.

+++

Sometimes minimal, gender ambiguous drag is the boldest.

+++

Perfume Genius invented this look long before Miley Cyrus grew up.
