I thought this interview was immensely fascinating because I am not exposed to Drag at all. The most exposure I get is when the show "The Soup" has a quick clip of it, making fun of it. I did not realize how little I understood until listening to the podcast. When I would see/hear about Drag it would always be of the Drag costume/performance opposed to the real person. This relates to context. The context I am seeing them in is vastly different from other contexts I could see them in (when they are dressed in what society deems as male clothes). From this podcast I learned that they jump around contexts in order to have an impact (whatever they decide that is). RuPaul talked about how the purpose of Drag is to create an impact. He brought up a point that I never even thought of. He mentioned how fascinating it is to dress differently and see how people perceive you differently. I was mind blown by that, honestly. I sometimes notice that when I dress up for class versus wearing sweats and stuff that walking through campus I get different looks. Same as if I just got out of bed versus dressing up for an event- they are vastly different. He got to see and study human nature through his eyes of how superficial our society is and how your appearance (including outfits, makeup) controls how people see you. He mentioned how Drag is scientific in a sense because he strives to look a certain percent of each person in order to create the impact he wants. That made me think more about how I should dress and how I should look deeper into how I am appearing and how I want to appear, especially in interview situations. In Marketing we learn all about how colors invoke a certain emotion or make people feel a certain way to the product, ad, item, person, etc. I think its a similar concept. I can relate to RuPaul when he talked about how a person has a thousand faces. I think that is so true, I am a different person when I am in the classroom, on the sports field, in a professional setting, in my dorm. I'm staying true to myself and my personality but I naturally alter it a bit to fit the environment. Drag stars have many faces, they are just more extreme and for different reasons, but ultimately its to make the impact they want. Some other points I found interesting was when he said that "each person is a shape shifter, you can be what you want to be. Your ego is the only one who disagrees." I thought that was really fascinating and true. It challenges me to reflect before I do something I think I may want to do or not to do, and really think about if this is something I want to do, am I not doing it or doing it because of the standards society has put on me. Another point I thought about that was relevant to historical context (Inquiry #2) was when they were discussing the differences in performances amongst middle aged drag performers and those in their twenties. They have different life experiences that change how they perform and engage with the audience. In addition, RuPaul mentioned how drag used to be illegal and how there was a close knit underground family and how the younger generation does not appreciate or understand how lucky they are. Overall, I found this podcast immensely eye opening.
