RuPaul's DragCon

It’s coming! May 16th and 17th! The first EVER convention that celebrates “the art of drag, queer culture and self-expression for all”! Think Comic-Con meets BeautyCon meets Hello Kitty Con. It’s RuPaul’s DragCon, and it’s going to be GAYMAYZING!

Says Ru:

“I am thrilled to bring this one-of-a-kind event to Los Angeles. DragCon is not just a showcase for the most talented drag queens in the world. It’s a chance for all lovers of drag culture – young and old, gay and straight – to come together, to inspire each other, and to let their freak flags fly high.”

RuPaul’s DragCon will kick off the Gay Pride season with a fierce new twist. DragCon creators expect several thousand attendees to experience a glittering weekend with the largest ever gathering of drag queens and gay icons. The convention will feature over 100 vendors and exhibitors, panel discussions, screenings, autographs, and photo opportunities.

Spearheaded by RuPaul and World of Wonder, RuPaul’s DragCon will give a platform for fans – gay and straight – to meet and interact with world famous drag queens and other celebrity guests in a fan friendly environment. DragCon will include a wide range of programming:

  • “Everything You Wanted to Know about Tucking but Were Afraid to Ask,”
  • “Lady MacBeth to Lady Gaga: Drag in the Mainstream”
  • “Drag King Makeovers”
  • “A Drag Revolution: Stonewall Riots”
  • “Padding 101: Dude, Where’s My Mattress?”
  • “Weaves, Waffles, and Wig Water”

There will also be Q&A sessions with the queens themselves, as well as fashion, make-up and styling workshops (“She-crets of a Drag Queen”) for men and women. Attendees can expect to shop the floor for shoes, apparel, art and many other fabulous products.
