That’s quite the outfit. She was popular with all the photographers (I wonder why, LOL), and more than happy to pose.
I would love to have a quarter of her confidence….

The dragon pendant is a nice touch (dragons always rock!). And the Penrose triangle tattoo is also cool.

Dazzling lights, thunderous applause, and pure charisma electrify the air at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco during the RuPaul’s Drag Race: Werq the World tour. Bathed in golden light, the stage pulses with high-octane energy as queens and dancers deliver a seamless blend of theatricality, fashion, and fearless self-expression. Against a backdrop of shimmering graphics and dramatic lighting, every move radiates confidence and empowerment—core values that define both the show and the global phenomenon it has inspired.
The Werq the World tour is more than a stage production; it’s a living celebration of drag as performance art. Each segment is choreographed to perfection, merging dance, lip-sync, and storytelling in ways that showcase the artistry of drag as a craft rooted in transformation and liberation. The crowd—diverse, devoted, and visibly moved—responds in kind, cheering and waving as if the room itself were a single, collective heartbeat. The connection between performers and audience feels electric, uniting thousands of people through shared joy and creative expression.
The production design, awash in gold and glitter, exemplifies the extravagance and precision that make RuPaul’s Drag Race one of the most visually stunning franchises in the world. Every sequin, light cue, and movement is calculated to amplify the magic of the moment. Yet beneath the spectacle lies something more profound: the resilience of queer culture and the unapologetic celebration of individuality. In San Francisco—a city long synonymous with LGBTQ+ pride—the performance feels especially resonant. The venue’s rich cultural history as a site of political rallies and musical revolutions only amplifies the night’s emotional charge.
From powerhouse performances to heartfelt moments of connection, Werq the World embodies the essence of drag: to inspire, to provoke, and to entertain without compromise. Each performer brings their own aesthetic and story to the stage, transforming it into a runway of possibility where identity itself becomes art. For many in the audience, it’s not just a show—it’s a reminder that visibility and authenticity can change lives.
Under the sweeping lights of the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium, the queens command the stage with poise, humor, and defiance, proving once again that drag is not imitation—it’s innovation. It’s a movement, a mirror, and a megaphone all at once.

Pink is just awesome in general, but I especially love it in the cute slouch socks. And she has a great smile.

These socks drove me to distraction in the mid to late 80s and early 90s. Seeing them again (especially in one of those bright colors — especially pink), brings back some fond memories.
Nicely posed, by request (thank you). I love the lifted sole, showing a beautiful contrast between stark, white shoes and a delightfully dirty sole.

I've seen your photos, the adorable little kid hands wielding paintbrushes and glitter sticks. Sure, it all starts innocently enough. But I'm here to tell you that one day you're going to walk into your front hall and be confronted with a scene like this. Hot glue, canvases, paints, rub-ons, buttons, stamps, and everything you ever unthinkingly tossed in the junk drawer. If you're lucky, your child will remember to roll up the hall rug before she starts.

The time has come to an end on who you were. It’s time to shed your old skin and step into the new. Time stops for all living beings but it is eternal to all that exists. You are but a blink in the eternal and so capable of creating ripples if you so chose. Chose to let go of all that holds you back so the ripples you create aren’t tainted with all that no longer serves you.
