Ghoulish Gal: Sharon Needles

Sharon Needles, drag queen, ghoul-extraordinaire, winner of season 4 of RuPaul's Drag Race, all-about-shock-value! I guess perhaps many of you didn't expect me (or anyone else of us) to write about a drag queen on a blog like this, but the drag she does just fits in the horror-category perfectly. She is a member of Haus of Haunt, a group of drag queens who do horror-inspired drag.

She breaks all the rules when it comes to the normal drag, for example performing Marilyn Manson songs while ripping a bible to shreds. Even though drag mightn't be your cup of puss, watch a few of her performances. I'll link a few below.

Sharon is either loved or hated by the drag she does, but she always manages to shock her audience. I love her for who she is, and what she does, I hope you will, as well fellow ghoul-tards!

  4. DRag queens aren't my cup of tea at all, but it can be entertaining. I often wonder how these people really think inside, whether its just an act or if they are fleeing their so-called inner demons. Ever thought of that?

    1. This isn't my post, so sorry to VG for interjecting here! I think that with any kind of performers (actors, comedians, singers, musicians etc.) there is always going to be an element of them portraying a character to their audience, but there will still be residuals of themselves and their own lives / personalities / experiences as well. Those could be positive or negative experiences though, not necessarily "inner-demons". That's just my opinion though, I could be wrong.
