Yesterday turned out to be a surprisingly interesting, rather cool day. I was out on my usual trundle, enjoying the sunshine, when I thought I’d pop into the Excel Centre to see if anything cool was happening there. I go there quite frequently, as I never know what kind of exhibition or conference I’ll find. Yesterday I was in for a treat though, as I happened upon Rupaul’s DragCon in full swing. I had not heard it was on this weekend, but as soon as I entered the exhibition hall I knew I was in for a treat – in fact, it made me wish I had gone to the effort and dressed up, as there were countless guys in drag and all kinds of exotic costumes. There were possibly even more than last time. To be honest it was rather awe-inspiring to see so much openness and playfulness around subjects like gender; I had never seen so many drag queens in one place. I couldn’t help thinking that Lyn would have adored it, and resolved to myself that I’ll have to go to the effort and attend it properly, possibly in a pink tutu, the next time such an event comes to town.
