Controversial male political figures reimagined as fabulous drag queens
Baricka O’Bisha
“Behind every ‘great’ man, there’s a queen.” That’s the insight that “Saint Hoax” hit upon after seeing a drag show for the first time and contemplating the similarly “constructed” nature of drag queens and incredibly powerful political figures:
The recipe for an iconic queen:
1. Flamboyant name
2. Fierce persona
3. Defining outfits
4. Personalized hairdo
5. A trademark feature
6. One hell of a PR teamI then realized that it takes that same exact effort to make a leader.
The text continues: “Like drag queens, political/religious leaders are expected to entertain, perform and occasionally lip-sync a public speech. … But unlike drag queens, the fame hungry leaders don’t know when to take their costumes off.”
At the Saint Hoax website you can see the full transformations.
