With the revival of our popular THE WEEK IN DRAG feature (Check it out here!), we’re decided to rebrand our Instadrag feature. If you’re a drag performer or photographer and would like a chance to possibly be featured in an upcoming edition of THE LIMELIGHT, be sure to tag your IG posts with #WERRRK or @ mention us so we don’t miss any of your shots, be they stunning photography, sickening looks or amazing moments!

In the time we’ve been doing this feature, the #WERRRK hashtag has been used over 100,000 times and we’ve given the spotlight to over 1000 different drag artists, over 200 different photographers in over 200 different locations and we will proudly continue to do so! Seeing the reaction of someone excitedly repost their first feature on our site and in many cases, their first national exposure is worth the time and effort we put into this series! (Shoutout to Gina Tonic for putting together all the spreadsheet data for us!)

And remember, when it comes to THE LIMELIGHT, sharing is caring so please LIKE our Facebook page, FOLLOW our Instagram page and then CLICK THAT SHARE BUTTON!
