IDKEX – Dragdom
IDKEX stands for International Drag KingCommunity Expo Ten. This week long event included so much more than just shows. There were seminars, round tables, vendor fairs, a film festival, the list goes on and on.
I met performers from all over the world during this event! I have never met a more diverse group of people from so many places in one room before!
Covering this event was my introduction to drag kings. I think everyone has heard of drag queens, especially with shows like Ru Paul’s Drag Race, but kings are kind of forgotten. It’s a shame more people do not know about drag kings, because they are definitely entertaining! I actually prefer watching kings to watching queens. Maybe because I know so many.
I was hired to do event photography for the entire event, this is the first of three large shows I covered for the event promoters. This show was at Wall Street Nightclub.
There are few instances where an American Sign Language interpreter is provided for performances, I thought this was really awesome.
A French performer. This number had impact. My favorite of the night.
Like a Prayer – LOVED IT!

G Rated
In the drag performance world, there aren’t many opportunities for the youth in the community to participate in or even watch shows. G Rated was put on as a show for all ages to solve that problem! It was nice to be able to take my kids to a show for once! Event organized by Dangerous Productions.
Alexis Stevens was a fantastic family friendly host with humor just off color enough be funny for the adults!
Obama came by for a visit
Nina West gave the most impressive drag yodeling performance I have ever seen!

Wardrobe malfunctions abound at Glitter – but those girls don’t miss a beat she just said “give it up!” and kept on going!

This show was thrown by Viva Valezz! at what used to be Liquid but is no longer. I miss that glittery curtain it was such a great backdrop to event photos!
Look at the legs on Pandora Foxx! WORK!
Never a dull moment with Noka in the house! She was Bette Davis I believe poor Surly Manson got rolled off the stage… but she survived!
This is one of my favorite burlesque photos of all time! I was so happy how it turned out! Bossy Grrl!
