Midwest Drag 101

P.H. Dee and Jess Marshall, two former educators, are here to school the children. One's a queen, the other's a fan, and both want to shed light on the drag scene in the flyover states. 

This week we welcome a visiting lecturer, Stixen Stones! She's here to help us school the children in the ways of alternative drag, how these performers compare to the mainstream, and why this form of drag is ever-gaining popularity. Welcome to detention!
