This past Thursday night in the heart of Manhattan, ten amazing drag performers returned to the scene of prior glory as season eight of Paige Turner‘s competition, So You Think You Can Drag? returned to New World Stages for the first ever All Star season. For the second year in a row, WERRRK.com was invited backstage to be a part of this incredible event to document all of the glitz, the glamor, the emotions and the duct tape…..lots of duct tape. Once again, our own Strawberry Fields, a season 6 veteran of So You Think You Can Drag? herself, is in the heart of the action talking with all the competitors moments after they step off stage, plus she also got the tea from several other big names from the NYC drag scene as well! So what are we waiting for? Let’s go backstage with a very special edition of Backstage ‘Berry!

Despite being a drag journalist for over five years, Chiffon only recently realized that she missed a golden opportunity back then to change her drag name to Rhoda Story.
