Drag queen Ivanka Das performs at a drag night at TLGE. ‘Before my transition, drag was the only way for me to show off the woman in me. Being a performing drag queen today, I can see my journey from what I was to who I am now, and it has filled my life with love and happiness,’ said Ivanka in an interview to Vogue India
DJ Kitty Glitter started out in Sydney 20 years ago. Today, she is one of the names to reckon with in the drag scene, having also played at Lady Gaga’s private party in Melbourne some years ago. ‘The element of drag queen sets me apart as a DJ,’ said Kitty in an interview to The Telegraph. ‘I think the true impact of drag is the message: You can do whatever you want to do and be what you want to be’
