Sasha Velour is an iconic queen. Turns out she’s also a historian! Her new book is a treasure trove of revelations about radical queer expressions throughout time. The revered entertainer weaves together gender theory, politics, and memoir to tell the story of drag. She recalls her own journey, from the women who inspired and raised her to how she learned the craft of an artist (creating and styling her costumes out of nothing). Velour redefines drag for a new generation while uncovering the history of queer life that made it all possible.
Velour speaks with drag historian Joe E. Jeffreys about the infinite ways in which gender, good taste, and art can be lived and embodied through drag.
