What reviewers are saying
Gender flouting and flaunting
For the visitor who: has already converted and should just move here already — or the one subconsciously pining for a shocking travel anecdote with which to regale her next book club.
Drag Alive: Your first feeling at the Stud, the worker-owned queer bar in SoMa, might be that you’re right at home. The bouncer, Kia, might have a canine assistant, Rico, to whom you can feed dog treats. On Friday evenings, when you cross to the side of the bar where Drag Alive is staged, you’ll get handed a crayon and a bingo card, whose squares read, “Nip Slip,” “Bearded Queen” and “Technical Difficulties,” among other fun categories. (Cross out five in a row, and you can get a free drink.) On a stage that’s barely wider than a drag queen is tall, and that’s barely deep enough to take a full high-heeled step, Drag Alive performers show what teasing, disrobing and especially lip-syncing are all about. Just because you’re not vocalizing doesn’t mean your jowls aren’t undulating, or that imagined singing can’t rack your body to the point of convulsion and collapse. Pony up for a front-row table, and you’ll sit in the shadow of those fanning eyelashes, those arches of extra-dark lip liner, catching gusts of air as skirts swish and wigs whirl.
