Queens with real talent beyond shopping/sourcing/renting/borrowing outfits and serving face. In an Instagram/Kim K/Paris Hilton/Famous with no real talent world, every single one of these ladies turn it. This document is thoughtful and inclusive. My vote for surprise breakout star was Charlene Incarnate, probably because I'm a gulf-coaster, and our scene is dominated by pageant drag. And the herstory is so amazing and critical. I really hope that someone tackles Drag on a ken burns level (think jazz or baseball), but until then, this is one of the best nonfiction works I've seen on the evolution of modern drag. They had to make a choice on what to show in this format and around the rebirth of wigstock. I hope someone in the future does an massive scope docu series from late 1800's drag to Paris is Burning era ballroom to RuPaul's breakout to modern day.
