THE EXPERIENCE
Join us for another Movie Bingo, hosted by the one-and-only Violet Hex! For this edition, we’ll journey into the technicolor time capsule of drag herstory that is Wigstock: The Movie!
ON SCREEN: Wigstock: The Movie
1995. Directed by Barry Shils. Runtime: 1 hour 25 minutes. Rated R.
The three-decade-old annual Manhattan gathering of drag queens and their fans is portrayed in this colorful documentary. The film concentrates on the spectacle of the event, providing abundant examples of the elaborate costumes, flamboyant wigs, and campy musical performances that characterize the event.
ON STAGE: Violet Hex
Violet Hex is a maximalist drag starlet, DJ, cult cinema programmer, and a staple of Portland’s queer nightlife scene. Violet is known best for her larger-than-life drag performances and dramatic fashions, as well as for her work in Portland presenting queer celebrations of cult cinema throughout the decades. Living at the intersection of punk and disco, Violet Hex has opened for/collaborated with legends such as John Waters, Lady Miss Kier, Jinkx Monsoon, Susanne Bartsch, and Peaches Christ.
