🌸MOLLY POCKET: (she/her pronouns in drag) has been doing drag for about a year now and looks to embrace her non-binary pride within her drag.

_____________________________________________

💊BENADRYL: (she/her pronouns in drag) has been doing drag for a year and loves drag as the purest form of self expression.

She also loves the ability drag gives to uplift they’re fellow performers and community with shows. 
_____________________________________________

👹LADY SOMERSET: (she/her in drag) has been doing drag for about a year, but has been interested in makeup artistry since middle school. She enjoys drag as an avenue to express herself in so many ways and feel free from anxiety.

She uses drag as an exploration of their gender as a trans non-binary person, as of now she is trying to add gender fluidity into her drag. 
_____________________________________________

🤤DREWCIFER: (any pronouns in drag) Drewcifer has been doing drag in Boone since early 2019. 

They would consider themself like a trashy bat loving grandmother to the Boone Barbies. They love drag because they get to enjoy meeting people and seeing how much their art lights people up and makes them happy.

👑STELIA MANN: (she/her in drag) has been doing drag for almost 3 years now, and loves to use her degree in Costume Design when creating new drag looks.

🖤DIESEL DISGRACE (she/they in drag) has been doing drag for a few months, but is so glad she started and feels so lucky to have found such an amazing group to perform with. It's so much fun to express my inner goth b*tch by @draba
