Such a ‘Bler: Dragging It Up

It was a night of firsts for a lot of us. The stars and the stargazing breathed the same air of anxious excite, as the theatre became more and more packed by the minute. People were in between chair rows, against the wall of walk ways, right against the stage and still there were more eager to have a peak.

It was the annual Rainbow Connection Student Drag Show – an explosive, kaleidoscope of personalities screaming human. As the music danced with hearts beating proud of courage and support, we witnessed the magic that happens when an individual finds enough comfort to be themselves.

From to CTA references, earl grey tea, silhouettes to debut tears that triggered mine – they had it all. But there is still so much to see.

And in the (rephrased because I was way too emotional to write them down) words of the host, Naomi Smalls, that night, “I feel so blessed to be a part of a tradition that helps celebrate and advocate such love and expression.”

It was a Rainbow Connection.

Thank you.
