Behold the Amazonian eco-warrior drag queen |
2018-07-28 |
[YAHOO] Bare chested, wearing an ankle-length dress, painted yellow, green and red, with flowers or leaves in his hair, it takes Brazil's Emerson Munduruku two hours to transform into Uyra Sodoma, his drag queen alter ego. This is news. Really. You should pay attention. Whether carrying seeds, branches and other natural materials, Munduruku's creation Uyra, often submerged up to the waist in water, is a colourful extension of the earth and nature. It's all natural, like silt and stuff. And it's beee-autiful, 'cuz he's a drag queen. His mission: to travel around Amazon villages, teaching conservation through performance art. Yeah. Performance art. Too highbrow for the likes of us. Civilizations rise and fall on the quality of their performance art. |

#5 Hello my name is Uyra Sodoma, (his drag queen alter ego.) And with that utterance, the villagers screamed "Hide the children and watch your butts!" |

#3 You want to help the ecology? Feed yourself to the fishes. There are lots of them in the Amazon that would do their part. |

#1 "That violence rocked me to my core... I started to get closer to women, transvestites, and understand more about racism and homophobia. I became closer to the city and the people." I'll lead up to it, with what might be the best combination of funny and obnoxious lyrics of all time - 'Eventually me and a friend, sort of drifted along into S & M... Just a guess - it didn't take much to nudge him in that direction. This article does lend itself to much snark bait - have at it, folks! |
