There are thousands of Drag Queens that are staples in pop culture, but some of them have been instrumental in my thought process and ideas for visuals. Here are a few of them.
RuPaul Charles
Ru is not only the host of possibly by favourite show on TV, 'RuPaul's Drag Race' (essentially America's Next Top Model but featuring Drag Queens) he is also the world's first super model. Ru is known for hosting his own talk-show in-drag and was famously friends with Diana Ross. Aside from hosting and modelling, Ru has his own line of cosmetics and a successful music career.
Divine
Perhaps one of the most famous, and most controversial Queens of all time, Divine sent shock-waves through pop culture with her revolting actions and avant-garde aesthetic. However, she remains an icon and a testament to every fierce and independent spirit out there. Divine has been cited as the figure who revolutionized the world of Drag, something which has been backed up in the upcoming documentary 'I AM DIVINE'.
