Pageant girls, club kids, dancing divas, drag kings, artistic souls—you name it, Amsterdam has it.
The term"drag" used to evoke images of campy divas in glitter dresses, but the arsenal of artistic interpretations within the scene has become almost infinite. With aesthetics ranging from demonic, with lizard lenses and face piercings, to fantasy-like with pointed ears, to couture-like à la Alexander McQueen, the scene is more diverse than ever. The new generation of queens disengages from the classical idea that drag is just about exaggerated femininity.
There are many different types of drag, and they all matter. Personally I love the variation: sometimes I’ll be watching a drag performance in a pub in the middle of Amsterdam, at other times I’ll be at a techno party with club kids. When it comes to diversity and quality, we’re doing quite well in Amsterdam – by this I mean not only the drag artists, but also the venues that provide us with a platform and a safe environment.
Drag will keep on changing, just like every other art form. It is a form of self-expression that combines many disciplines into one. I therefore believe that drag will increasingly merge with the music and fashion industries, or developments in technology.My drag adventure started about two years ago, when Dynno Dada from House of Hopelezz took me to Milkshake, and then to the Drag Olympics. At the time I only had heels – the others took care of my makeup and outfit.
