If you are even slightly clued-in on drag culture, you’re probably already familiar with one of the best visual documentarians of the scene, Magnus Hastings<\/strong><\/a>. The\u00a0British photographer’s work has been featured in GQ, People Magazine, Glamour Magazine (UK) and the Sunday Times…and pretty much on every drag fan T-shirt you can find. In 2016, he published the book Why Drag?<\/strong><\/a>– featuring\u00a0photographs of a diverse selection of drag artists from across the United States, including TONS of your fave RuPaul’s Drag Race<\/strong> alumnae.<\/p>\n

Now he’s about to have his first, full exhibition in Los Angeles, benefitting the Los Angeles LGBT Center<\/a>,\u00a0Sunday, July 16th, at the Musichead Gallery<\/a>…featuring images from Why Drag?<\/em> ladies, including Sasha Velour<\/strong>,\u00a0Adore Delano<\/strong>, Bianca Del Rio<\/strong>, Courtney Act<\/strong>, Violet Chachki<\/strong>, Katya Zamolodchikova<\/strong>, and some new and previously unseen pics. PLUS, one of his muses, the reigning queen of\u00a0RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 2<\/strong>, Alaska Thunderfuck<\/strong><\/a> will be performing…along with past RPDR girl Willam Belli<\/strong><\/a> and the super cool Misty Violet<\/strong><\/a>.
