bad drag

Bryant Alexander:

But as much as I appreciate the performative accomplishment of good drag, and the ephemeralized instance of the performative act of passing, I sometimes like bad drag better. Sometimes I like seeing the seams, not because I don’t appreciate the artistry of illusion, but in fact, it is the seams that seemingly call my attention to the constructedness of the venture. (351)
