She loves packing her performances full of political satire and technology to help illuminate what a hot mess the world can be. Known for throwing extravaganzas like her “Bat Mitzvah x2” and roller skating parties, Lil Miss Hot Mess has appeared on world-class stages like SFMOMA, Stanford University, and Saturday Night Live, as well as legendary clubs like The Stud, Hard French, Bushwig, Queen Kong, and many more. This book was kindly sent to us by Running Press Kids, but all opinions are our own! This story is definitely a high-kick in the right direction. Drag isn’t something to be ashamed of or to hide, it can be for everyone. Years ago, drag queens were only seen as part of the adult night life scene but things are changing for the better. I personally love the art of drag and started going to shows as soon as I turned 18, and now I have friends that perform as well. Stories like this that are utterly fun to recite and celebratory aimed at young readers and listeners is wonderful, pure and simple. Kids shouldn’t have to suppress who they are and what the like for fear of being bullied. Having a space where everyone is accepted for whatever they like to do is crucial for kids, and having books that specifically celebrate creativity and fashion assist in making that happen.ĭrag Queen Story Hour is a fabulous non-profit where drag queens do just that-read stories! What’s not to love? A super fancy human reading to kids, I would have loved that as a child! Having queer and extravagant role models for kids to look up to lets them know that they’re not alone, and they’re not weird. The artistic expression and showmanship of queens is something to celebrate and we need to appreciate the creativity that goes into the show. This is a cute and simple book that takes the tune of the “wheels on the bus” and replaces the bus with a drag show! Parading through the streets of San Francisco, different drag queens are stomping their feet, applying blush, and prancing with blinging jewels as a mass of celebration and color.Īll of the drag queen characters (some are named and on the beginning/end papers) encompass a variety of drag styles, so much personality is conveyed through the illustrations! I like this book in the way it celebrates the normalcy of something that a lot of people might view as abnormal-drag. Topics Covered: Rhyming, LGBTQ, Drag Queens, Self-Confidence, Own Voices.
