The Professionalism Of Drag

SpecDRAGular takes on a conversation that comes up constantly in the drag world but rarely gets fully unpacked: The Professionalism of Drag.

What does it actually mean to be professional in drag? Who decides what those standards are? Have we grown as a community, or are there still areas where we are falling short?

For Volume 7, we sit down with San Antonio drag icon Kristi Waters for an exclusive interview, getting to know more about her career, her journey in drag, and her perspective on professionalism both onstage and behind the scenes.

We’re also bringing back A Talk with Texas Drag Artists, where we asked respected professionals in the scene to share their own thoughts on professionalism, how the drag world has changed over the years, and where they believe we can still do better.
