Wig

Drag is everything. Willam was not used enough. Loved all the history. NY was lucky to have these acts.

This doc was insightful and well done. It's right up there up with my other favorite Docs about NYC communities, "Paris is Burning" and "Fetishes" from the 80's and 90's, to name a few.

This doc is also so entertaining containing such talented performers. Not sure what else people want from a doc. I was so excited for this portrait of a colorful and full of life community that keeps NY spinning and incessantly advancing performance, art, culture, and society.

It was a really well made documentary and it was really cool seeing all the early footage of the scene back in the day, but the documentary failed to highlight what happened after Wigstock's last festival.

a whole scene bloomed in brooklyn and another festival called Bushwig was created. WIG failed terribly in highlighting that moment in time. If your going to make a documentary THEN make a documentary and research. It's dangerous to make documentaries that are not accurate.

Queens with real talent beyond shopping/sourcing/renting/borrowing outfits and serving face. In an Instagram/Kim K/Paris Hilton/Famous with no real talent world, every single one of these ladies turn it. This document is thoughtful and inclusive. My vote for surprise breakout star was Charlene Incarnate, probably because I'm a gulf-coaster, and our scene is dominated by pageant drag. And the herstory is so amazing and critical. I really hope that someone tackles Drag on a ken burns level (think jazz or baseball), but until then, this is one of the best nonfiction works I've seen on the evolution of modern drag. They had to make a choice on what to show in this format and around the rebirth of wigstock. I hope someone in the future does an massive scope docu series from late 1800's drag to Paris is Burning era ballroom to RuPaul's breakout to modern day.

Loved the parallels between Lady Bunny and Charlene. This doc shows how drag's original focus is still alive and centers those who are continuing to create the type of drag that futhers creativity and activism. It's also really, really pretty.
