Its the story of an aimless coat check worker who sweet-talked his way into hosting a drag show at a Brooklyn dive bar, a pair of teenagers sneaking into clubs and pocketing tips to help support their families, and eclectic performers who have managed to land a spot on TV and millions of followersall colliding in an unprecedented account of a subculture on the brink of becoming a cultural phenomenon. 650 0 $a Drag shows $v New York $v New York $x History. $0 (DLC)sh2006003334 650 0 $a Female impersonators. $0 (DLC)sh 85064634 650 0 $a Male impersonators. $0 (DLC)sh 85064636 651 0 $a Brooklyn (New York, N.Y.) $x History $y 21st century. $0 (DLC)n 80040311 941 $a 1 952 $l DPPE403 $d 20240611014403.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5152A34C27B811EF9FBFAF4235ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b LS@Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
