I was lucky enough to witness the whole shape-shifting first hand while living in London right at the beginning, hanging with my bestie and one of the stars of the film, Scottee (pictured below). &#8220;Was our scene truly alternative? I think it was, says Scottee. But with the commercial successes of Drag Race, Little Britain &amp; Gaga (for better or worse), what we did seems less scary to the outside world &#8211; perhaps we exist in a new post-drag world. My ego would love to tell you London has been influenced by us, but I don\u2019t think it has. I think our legacy is yet to be fulfilled but it won\u2019t be because we wore outr\u00e9 outfits!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zeitgeistworld.com\/?attachment_id=29436\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-29436\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-29436\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zeitgeistworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/scottee-560x315.jpg\" alt=\"scottee\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zeitgeistworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/scottee-560x315.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.zeitgeistworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/scottee.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Director Colin Rothbart spent five years following the principal characters who talk about their dragtastic times and the personal demons that often hide beneath the mascara.\u00a0Starring <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jonnywoouk.com\/\">Jonny Woo<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scottee.co.uk\/\">Scottee<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.holestar.com\/\">Holestar<\/a>, Amber, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/john.sizzle.31\">John Sizzle<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pia.arber\">Pia Arber<\/a>.
