Ep 17 - Dress to Empress

3:01pm - 3:59pm

In this episode, I'm joined by Tasha Hefford and Randi Papworth, and we discuss the local documentary "The Empress of Vancouver" about the city's drag subculture, directed by Dave Rodden-Shortt, and starring Olive Howe. We talk about drag history and how it's a political act; the crossover between gay rights and civic politics; and about "homonormativity" i.e. how only some queer bodies are allowed to exist.
