The difference between #dragperformers and strippers is classiness. You can evoke deep emotions and sensations in your audience while fully dressed. Case in point: this #dragking was the fan favourite. She walked to the crowd in the middle of Civic Plaza at #BurnabyPride and was the best performer there #charisma #PublicDrag #CommunityFestivals

TIL i never wanna go see strippers dance (anymore) because I’d rather see drag.

Full disclosure I dated a (female) stripper in college and she didn’t like that job so i have behind the scenes perspective from our time together…

I realized i always wanna see drag because of the artistry; fab hair, makeup, costume, hip movements, charisma #BisexualProblems

@Crissy I think there tends to be a difference between business run events and community run, and drag tends to be more the latter, whilst stripping is more the former — perhaps that explains the difference in satisfaction and vibe?

The stripper run events we have in Berlin are fantastic.

@thisismissem definitely a difference AND prolly coz the strip clubs I used to go to here are “tailored to gentlemen” clubs.

I only watch women since they are great (men strippers do nothing for me and IMHO don’t really even dance if we’re being honest, at least here in North America).

Envious of how much better it is there in Berlin! And until we evolve our erotic dance performances here to Euro standard, i am more likely to only patronize drag establishments 🔥
