drag — the art of dressing up as a fabulous queen or king, typically of the opposite gender.There are “look queens,” who are recognized for their fashion.There are “comedy queens,” who are recognized for their quick wit and ability to make a crowd double over in laughter.There are “dancing queens,” who can kick and flip around a stage, all while making it look effortless.But there’s something all drag performers have in common — the ability to quickly adapt.Performers had nowhere to go and strut their stuff when COVID-19 restrictions shut down venues.
Like most things in the early stages of the pandemic, online video chat application Zoom did the trick — for a while.They started putting together free, socially distant, all-ages outdoor drag.
