A drag show is an entertainment which is performed by drag artists.


Many drag shows feature performers singing or lip-synching to songs while performing a pre-planned pantomime, or dancing. The performers often don elaborate costumes and makeup, and sometimes dress to imitate various famous opposite sex singers or personalities. And some events are centered around drag, such as Southern Decadence where the majority of festivities are led by the Grand Marshals, who are traditionally drag queens.[1]

Drag Brunch[edit]


A Drag Brunch is a type of drag show, in which drag kings and drag queens perform for an audience while the audience feasts on typical brunch foods and drinks.[2][3]


Although it is typically held at LGBTQ bars and nightclubs, restaurants have also become a popular site for drag brunches.[2][4] Drag brunch is especially popular in urban centers with large gay populations, such as cities like New York City, Miami, Atlanta, Las Vegas, Quebec, and New Orleans.[2][4] Drag historian and New York University professor, Joe E. Jeffreys, believes that drag brunch’s rise in popularity in recent years, is due to LGBTQ venues, such as Lucky Cheng’s, Lips NYC, and Club 82, that arose between the 1950s and 1990s.[2] In an article titled "The Importance of Drag Brunch in NYC", Jeffery's claimed that these venues have the ability to expose people to drag, who might not have encountered it before.[2]


“[People] are able to sit at drag brunch and have a lovely spinach frittata and Bloody Mary while learning this lesson through observation. They start to understand that gender and drag aren't these scary things,” said Jeffreys.[2][5] “It’s fun and festive like brunch can be.”[2]


In an articled titled "Dragging Herself To Brunch," Shawn Bodey, also known by his drag persona Robin Banks, describes drag brunch as dinner theater but for brunch.[6] According to Bodey, dancing, singing and jokes about the gender binary, are some of the things one could expect to see at a drag brunch.[5][6]

Gospel Drag Brunch[edit]


In cities across the country gospel drag brunches are also becoming increasingly popular. The drag venue Lips, which is based in New York City but has locations across the country, first started gospel drag brunches in Fort Lauderdale, Florida in 2007.[7][8] Other places, such as San Antonio, Texas, have also seen a rise in gospel drag brunches.[9] In addition to food, drinks, and the usual performances one would expect to see at a drag brunch, gospel drag brunches also feature performers in choir robes doing renditions of classic gospel songs.[7][8][10] In an article titled "Lips Gospel Brunch: Drag for Jesus," gospel drag brunch performer Nicolette describes the event as "cross-dressing for Jesus."[8][10]

Full-time equivalent From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to navigation Jump to search Full-time equivalent ( FTE ) or whole time equivalent ( WTE ) is a unit that indicates the workload of an employed person (or student) in a way that makes workloads or class loads comparable [1] across various contexts. FTE is often used to measure a worker's or student's involvement in a project, or to track cost reductions in an organization. An FTE of 1.0 is equivalent to a full-time worker or student, while an FTE of 0.5 signals half of a full work or school load.
