The concept to take the act to social media was first sparked about a week ago when New York City began to shutter all nonessential establishments, which included restaurants and nightclubs, and the queens’ performance space at The Rosemont in Bushwick, Brooklyn.
While social media is currently serving as a way to bring people together, it also allows the queens of Oops! to continue to financially support themselves.
