11 Reasons To Love Drag Shows

Imagine this. Music blaring out of every speaker, filling the room with bass, pressing against your heart as you anticipate the performance. Sudden she sweeps out onto the stage, twirling around in her gorgeous dress. She walks confidently in her seven-inch heels, gracing spinning down the stage before she falls into a death split. The crowd goes wild, calling her name and cheering on her dance. This is what a drag show is like.

Drag Shows are a huge part of Bowling Green society and if you haven't been to one, you're missing out! Beautiful performers light up the stage for all to see! This is a protected, open atmosphere where everyone and anyone is allowed to come. I can think of a million reasons to love drag shows but here's eleven for ya, sugah.


1. THE SASS.

If you thought you were sassy as a brazen child, you were dead wrong. These women can throw some shade like it was their job. Oh wait. It is their job.

2. The hair!

Imagine if you could get your hair (instead of laying painfully flat) to spruce up like that! Talk about hair goals!

3. The performances!

Despite all of the drag queens being perfect in every physical way, their acting skills are even better! Many of them perform songs; some even perform small monologues as well! Either way, they're all perfect.

6. The outfits!

Like their hair, makeup, performances, personalities, and everything else, their outfits are always over the top. Even if it is a simple leotard, you better believe there is some crystal on their somewhere. What better place is there to get your fashion fix?

7. The makeup!

This look would look a little crazy out and about but under those stage lights? Talk about an entrance! Their makeup and always on point, after they've beat their face and blocked their brows of course.

8. The MCs!

In between performances, there will occassionally be a emcee that works the even while the drag queens are getting ready. These women are usually the stars of their own show. They are also drag queens with enough sass to go around. They usually host a small game or get together for audience members to keep the crowds entertained!

9. The dancing!

To some, this may look like two queens kind of flopping down onto the ground but I assure you.... it is exactly that. This women can surely hit a pose and can always dance their asses off. Sometimes, though, they'll surprise audiences with something called a death drop. This is where a queen will jump and land in this pose! It never ceases to amaze a crowd!

10. The antics of the show!


Every show comes with it's fair share of antics by the queens. Don't be shocked if you see a queen dance silly with a patron, pull someone up on stage, or even do something that is a bit kooky! They're there to have fun too!

11. Of course, the Queens themselves.


What would drag shows be without the Queens themselves? Boring. They would be boring. These wonderful people come together to do what they love for audiences who love to see them. They deserve our love and support (and our dollar bills while they're performing)!

Keep queening, you gorgeous people you. Mwah!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
