Abstract
Drag as an enduring artform has reached the masses through the hit reality television show RuPaul’s Drag Race (2009–2024). This article explores an intimate reflection on the series through the lens of a queer Aboriginal person who is both a fan and practitioner of the art of drag. Beyond the scope of niche fandoms at queer margins, this letter points to the violent and liberatory entanglements generated by the mainstreaming of drag.
