Australian drag culture has come a long way since Priscilla and Les Girls.

To celebrate the scene in all its technicolour glory, runner-up in the first season of RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under Art Simone compiled Drag Queens Down Under. This collection of interviews and trivia about prominent drag queens from across Australia is illustrated with stunning images of rhinestones and glitter set in our unique landscape.

Join Etcetera Etcetera, Space Horse, Coco Jumbo, Maxi Shield and Art Simone for a camp evening of storytelling that celebrates nails, hair, hips and heels.
I think what makes Aussie drag so special and unique is drag is ingrained within our Aussie culture: from Les Girls to Aunty Jack to Dame Edna to Priscilla, it’s always been there with us. Our drag has this sense of larrikinism and fun and frivolity.
