Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy: "Alberta Beef" Drag King Cabaret

Tonight's the big night! In honour of visiting speaker Judith Halberstam, a group of us have put together a drag king cabaret. It's my first time doing a drag show, and it seems as though the show is turning into a big deal... bigger than I initally imagined anyway. Author and visual artist Shani Mootoo (who wrote "Cereus Blooms at Night", and recently "He Drown She in the Sea") is filming our performance and dress rehearsal, as well as conducting interviews with us concerning ideas of female masculinity, performativity and gender.

I'll post pictures from tonight's performance soon.

Giddy-up!
