Sasha Velour's One Dollar Drags
posted June 12, 2018 #
Sasha Velour, the Season 9 winner of RuPaul's Drag Race and phenomenal visual artist, is starting to release a series of videos called "One Dollar Drags." The first in the series is a performance piece for the song "Pirate Jenny." In all honesty, I find the style of the song to be a little cumbersome but the video itself is compelling. Shot in a noir style, it features lots of notable Drag Queens walking the streets of Brooklyn, banding together.
The Behind the Scenes featurette sheds some light on why that particular song was chosen and how it's relevant to the community. Having some context certain makes it more interesting but I still don't like the song.
Regardless, both are worth a watch and I'm ready for more projects like this from the Sasha camp.
