Your Tax Dollars at Work.[Townhall] The Petworth Library located in Northwest D.C. will be hosting a "Just Be You: Drag 101" event tomorrow afternoon that is open to the whole family "where drag performers can discuss who they are and what they do." The event is part of an effort that hopes to promote cultural appreciation for local history which makes D.C. unique.
DC adult librarian, Lisa Warwick, told Townhall that as part of this year’s strategic plan, the library intends to "[give] residents a place where they can embrace the cultural hubs [of DC]." Petworth Library advertised the event saying, "From singalongs to dance performances, the library is indeed open to the whole family, darlings‐kids, too. Come learn more about drag and gender, but, most of all, be inspired to just be you."
Drag performers known by their stage names include Cherry Snow, Miss Buffy Wilde, and Phoenix King. Wariwck told Townhall that Cherry Snow actually goes by the stage name OG Fag, but thought that would be too inappropriate for kids.
OG Fag’s Instagram page is littered with messages such as, "To the random ass stranger who told me I look like a clown and should go to clown school: I hope you enjoy your very normal and boring life. Gender is a construct, tear it apart." The illustrious drag performer also has sent messages regarding the importance of hardwork, saying, "A little throwback to last Thursday and my look for Drag Race at Uproar! The devil works hard, but og fag works harder."
