Day 3. Sunday

Sunday morning, everyone went to a brunch to watch drag monologues, poetry and other performances which were more interpretive or nontraditional drag. Dred performed and discussed being a gender illusionist, illustrating the transformation from luscious male to luscious female on stage. Billy T. Holly performed a brave monologue as a heartbroken cowboy who finds solace in a sailor. After a final exchange of conversation, photographs and contact information, I followed everyone back into the van and began the trek back to Chicago: tired, but happy and exhilarated, awestruck to be performing drag and thrilled to have had the chance to go to such an inspirational gathering of performers.
