Bad On Paper

Simon Doonan on Drag Culture, Personal Style, and Unplugging from Technology

In this week's episode, we get to chat with the amazing (sparkly!) Simon Doonan about his brand new book Drag: The Complete Story - the first modern book about the cultural history of drag! Simon talks all things drag with us while answering your questions about finding your own personal style, his relationship with Jonathan Adler, and whether or not he will be appearing on another season of NBC's Making It (spoiler: he is!).
