Drag Race UK: Hannah Conda and Tia Kofi clear up “silly” narrative over wins

admin, , , ,

Ahead of the Drag Race UK vs the World finale, Hannah Conda and Tia Kofi reflect on their respective journeys, straighten out a particular narrative from “bastards on the internet” and feel the rain on their skin. That last part will make sense later. WORDS BY SAM DAMSHENAS SPECIAL THANKS TO MARY JONES AND ELOISE LONGDEN AT THE BBC ‘Demolished’ is an apt word for Hannah Conda and Tia Kofi’s performances on this season of Drag Race UK vs the World. With a respective three and four challenge wins, the Australian and British duo will make…

Tokyo’s queer club scene is sweaty, messy and surrounding you at all sides

From sweaty techno parties to late-night drag showcases, Kat Joplin explores how the city’s growing LGBTQIA+ district is creating space for trans and non-binary communities. WORDS BY KAT JOPLIN HEADER DESIGN BY ANISA CLEAVER The Shibuya club is small but packed with life. Rotating beams of coloured lights overhead, shivering curtains of blue and green hair on the dance floor. Stick-and-poke and abstract tattoos, heavy eyeliner, lipstick in shades of pink and turquoise. Loud conversations shouted over the techno: Japanese, Portuguese, English, and more. Barely visible in the flashing lights,…

Drag Race S16, E12: an obliteration of twinks

admin, , , ,

There’s some moments where you watch an episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race and you have to ask yourself: how in the hell is the fandom going to react to that? This week, for me, that happened twice. As the remaining six queens return from the elimination of reigning lip sync assassin Mhi’ya Iman LePaige in a stand-out battle with Morphine Love Dion, the episode starts on a tense note. Q is sulking because she feels that she should have won (or taken half the win along with Plane Jane). While…

Drag Race: Scarlet Envy addresses ‘surprising’ UK vs the World drama

admin, , , ,

Scarlet Envy speaks with GAY TIMES about her “surprising” rift with Hannah Conda and why she’s “glad” she was eliminated instead of Marina Summers. WORDS BY SAM DAMSHENAS HEADER BY YOSEF PHELAN SPECIAL THANKS TO MARY JONES AND ELOISE LONGDEN AT THE BBC “Scarlet Envy” and “viral” go hand-in-hand at this point.

An intimate look inside the New Orleans-based performance art and party collective. Words by LEO HERRERA Photography by DANIELLE POWELL NEW ORLEANS, 2018. “I wanna get fucked up somewhere crazy,” my out-of-towner friend pleaded through a mouthful of gas station fried chicken, holding a daiquiri the shape of a rooster.  Careful what you wish for, I thought, as I flagged the taxi.  We sped away from the tourists of Frenchmen, down a dark street with a dirt sidewalk, to a dilapidated warehouse. It was missing half its roof and its…
