It started with Victoria Scone on Ru Paul's Drag Race UK. At least that is what we were led to believe. In truth, cisgender female drag queens is not a new concept.

Only now, thanks to the recent publication of Dark Emu by Bruce Pascoe and other research projects, do we know about their history pre-colonisation. Whether that be their solid and thriving communities, their sewed fields and fished waterways, their politics and customs. A deeper narrative compared to the “hunter-gatherer” label we’ve put onto Indigenous Australians for far too long.

Known in another life as the Midnight Shift, this Oxford Street club with its own rich history in the local queer scene is welcoming back guests. You won’t find the usual club night or sweaty dancefloor, however. Universal is putting on Premiere, an immersive dining experience every Friday and Saturday night, starring entertainment from local drag royalty including Hannah Conda, Charisma Belle and Carmen Geddit.

“ A very enthusiastic full house celebrated the last twelve months of the Sydney drag scene at the 2019 DIVA Awards this week.
The grand ballroom of the Paddington RSL looked splendid for what many are calling a fabulous return to form for this event, now in its twenty-ninth year.
A highlight was a performance by the five finalists from the Slay 2 Stay talent quest at Universal, featuring the winner Miss Danni Issues – this queen has a big future.
Charisma Belle was the perfect hostess with the right measure of sending and steering. There is nothing quite like seeing a queen at the top of her game – she really was wonderful.
The popular Fran Giapanni is the DIVA Rising Star for 2019.
Sia Tequila is our new Entertainer of the Year, an award voted by her peers, and there was a lot of love in the room for her as she took the stage to a full standing ovation. “
