San Francisco bar to open a drag queen school!

Legendary San Francisco bar, The Stud, announced the creation of The Stud School of Drag which will teach aspiring drag artists the fundamentals of drag performance. Chair of the San Francisco Democratic Party (and former Drag Race star) Honey Mahogany will serve as its inaugural headmistress. “I thought drag was just about being campy and female impersonation — which is cool — but the Stud taught me that drag can be political, dark, scary, weird, emotional and so much more,” Mahogany said in a statement. “I’m excited to bring this art form to a new generation as the first Stud School of Drag Headmistress.” Read more about it here!
