Drag king

Drag performers take on the look and mannerisms of their opposite gender as a way to entertain and inform their audiences of social issues that can be addressed with humor. Fortunately for the drag community, there has been a recent increase in the popularity of drag queens since the TV show, “RuPaul’s Drag Race” won an Emmy in 2015. However, the female equivalent, drag kings, are given little media attention, thus casting them into obscurity. I argue that the lack of positive media coverage of drag

Drag queens and kings, are the individuals who represent a very prominent part of marginalized queer culture.

Although, drag queens have fiercely and fabulously strutted themselves into the limelight, their counterpart, the drag king, has

When studying the history and art of drag, it is crucial to recognize the multiplicity and diversity of this art form. While most academia and studies of drag pertain to drag queens, a less popular subset of drag artists are the drag kings. In J. Jack Halberstam’s essay “Drag Kings: Masculinity and Performance,” the unexplored history of these artists as well as their differences from their (typically) male counterparts are explored. Although both drag kings and queens usually work to imitate the

watching a drag show. Surprising right? Does anyone here know what a drag queen is? A drag queen is defined by the Merriam Webster dictionary as usually a homosexual male dressing up as a woman and performing for entertainment. While that may be the case drag is so much more than just a man in makeup and a dress. The art of drag is inclusive, builds an open and safe community, and gives a platform to speak up and give back. Now this is where I destroy the idea that only queer men do drag. Drag is extremely

1.1 INTRODUCTION Not only to save energy but also to protect the global environment, fuel consumption reduction is main concern of automobile development. In development of vehicle body, it is essential to reduce drag for improving fuel consumption and driving performance. An aerodynamically purified body is not only aesthetically attractive but also it will help much to increase the vehicles appeal to the customer [1]. If a body of arbitrary shape, immerged in a large stationary mass of fluid is

Isaac Mathew Pavoodath USC ID 8834875144 AME 503 Paper Study 2 INTRODUCTION As specified in the paper Complexity in Design of Technical Systems, an exact definition to the meaning of the word complexity is a matter of debate and discussion.

rocket is about how the air flows over and around the rocket and also about how it affects the drag and stability of the rocket. Aerodynamics is the study of the forces and the resulting motion of the objects flying in the air. It depends on the shape, size, and velocity of the rocket, It plays apart in the flight of the rocket because aerodynamics affects and goes hand and hand with the lift and drag that is caused by the air moving around the rocket. 4.) What are the following forces and what

rather large drags (Edinburgh & Edinburgh, 1962). Drag is the pull of the airplane in the opposite path it is traveling. Therefore, it is very important when designing a wing, to find a happy medium with the amount of camber and the amount of drag that comes with it. There is also is drag that come with the friction of the air across the surface of the aircraft. Hurt (1992) found that, “because the air has viscosity, air will encounter resistance to flow over a surface…and accounts for the drag of skin
