Tuesday 16th Jan is the last day for voting in the Melbourne Drag Awards, and one of the most coveted awards to win isn’t the Hall of Fame or Drag Performer of the Year, it’s the title Bitch of the Year.

 

We spoke to some of the nominees, Bumpa Love, Lexi Gaga, Missy La Minx and Abril Latrine, about why the shady narrative of drag performing, seems to be the element that everyone prefers.

This segment aired on The Informer at JOY 94.9 on 16th January 2018
