Monet and Priyanka are on a Netflix show!
If you’re anything like us, you’re obsessed with the Sibling Rivalry podcast hosted by Bob the Drag Queen and Monet X Change. If you caught the episode or the viral clip, Monet was told she was on Netflix’s new show, Glamorous, starring Kim Cattrall. Sure, Monet didn’t remember being on the show, but she’s not the only queen featured! Priyanka can also be seen on the show and yes, she remembers filming it. Tune in now!
The Brat Pack tour has been postponed
Sorry to all our friends north of the border, but Kendall Gender, Gia Metric, and Synthia Kiss of the iconic Brat Pack have had to cancel their upcoming tour across Canada. If you snagged tickets, you can get your refund at point of purchase. There’s no news yet about rescheduling, but you can catch the girls on tour together and separately throughout the summer!
RuPaul’s Drag Race protests drag bans with iconic new billboard in Times Square
Obviously, we already know there was something a bit drag-like with those Founding Fathers. RuPaul’s Drag Race is bringing the conversation to the wider masses with a new billboard in Time Square that says “The Declaration of Independence was written by men in wigs, heels, and tights.” Can I get an amen? (Sorry, I’ll never say that again!)
Drag queens are taking over Disney+
You read that right. No, they won’t be starring in our beloved classic Disney films (we wish). Disney+ will give you another platform to watch Drag Me To Dinner on! So, if you don’t have Hulu but have Disney+, your time to watch the show has come!
West Hollywood appoints its first Drag Laureate!
Pickle, a singer and performer in WeHo, will serve as the city’s first-ever Drag Laureate. She will hold the position for two years and help bring drag culture and issues into the political sector! West Hollywood joins San Francisco, who appointed D’Arcy Drollinger to the position in May.

You have to see the video for yourself if you haven’t already. Another unhinged Karen flying off the rails about drag queens. Enjoy!
