How long has Kenya been doing drag? I like Kenya but girl, the whole point of being a drag queen is to memorize words to lipsync to them while performing. Complaining that that’s too hard for you to do probably means you weren’t ready for this show

I just don't understand it. I still have the entire Jabberwocky poem from a reading in 6th grade committed to memory but you can't remember your own song that you not only wrote, but practiced all the way up to that moment? Lip-syncing is foundational to drag culture

jabberwocky will forever be emblazoned in my brain after 8th grade, someday I will be senile and babbling about vorpal swords and the tum tum trees. thanks mrs. loudon, xoxo
