Glitter and Concrete: A Cultural History of Drag in New York City | Elyssa Maxx Goodman

pick

A thorough and interesting history of drag in New York City. The audio narration was well done.

AnnCrystal Nice mug 👍. I don't drink, yet I like the elegance of wine and the artsiness of a German beer Stein. I even found a gorgeous stein with an Eagle. That's correct, I don't drink yet I purchased a beer Stein for its artwork 😂. (edited) 2mo

julesG @AnnCrystal Beer Steins are excellent for keeping bookmarks in, or pens, or kitchen utensils. 😉 I don't have any at the moment, but my parents have several around the house and not a single one has been used for beer ever. 2mo

julesG The Schlenkerla has travelled very far from home. Did you like it? 2mo

AnnCrystal 😎👍💝 Thanks @julesG marvelous idea, and true! Mine holds paint brushes 🖌️😉👍.

🤩 That must be quite the collection your parents have! Steins are just works of beauty ☺️👍. (edited) 2mo

julesG @AnnCrystal I never thought they were something special because they were regular household items. Although my parents managed to snag a few collector's items while my father worked for a small company that produced mugs and steins. 2mo

AnnCrystal @julesG that's epic 😎👍💝. 2mo

TieDyeDude @julesG The beer was quite good! My wife is not a fan of smoked flavors, so I had it saved for a time I could drink it alone :)
@anncrystal I've had a couple steins, but they rarely make the cut when I move (this one is from the PA Renaissance Faire). I love the look of them, though. This one is a little less bulky, so I've held on to it. @julesG They are not super common here, so they are mostly considered collector's items, though 2mo

AnnCrystal @TieDyeDude 😎👍💫. 2mo

Couldn‘t resist sneaking in another for #TitlesAndTunes #DramaQueens! I loved this history of drag in NYC. Queens and their art under greater attack than ever, but Goodman starts in the 19th century to show that drag has been and will always be here. I enjoyed following the trends from Jazz Age vaudeville to the AIDS crisis and 90s supermodel era. Cashing in on Drag Race appearances is also discussed.

Megabooks The author wrote about the founding of Scissor Sisters, and (by the magic of technology 😉) this song that I loved when it came out popped up in one of my Spotify curated playlists. You can‘t not sing along to it! 14mo

BarbaraBB Oh wow, these choices are at least as good as your number ones 😘 14mo

Cinfhen The “tuniverse” was definitely telling you something!! Glad you got the message 😍 14mo

Megabooks @Cinfhen love that tuniverse!! 14mo

Megabooks @BarbaraBB thanks friend! I‘m really enjoying these playlists! 14mo

TieDyeDude Nice, I love Scissor Sisters! (I couldn't really get into the lead singer's autobio, though). This book sounds interesting/ 14mo

Megabooks @TieDyeDude I didn‘t know much about the band other than liking their songs. The book is fascinating; just learning about how drag has changed so much yet endured. 14mo
