ON THE HOTTEST DRAG SHOWS IN TOWN THE SCOOP
To commemorate 75 years of SDM , we’re taking inspiration from old covers and updating them with a contemporary spin. Paris Max, a local drag performer, embodies modern with a twist. You can catch her at her day job as manager and co-owner of InsideOUT, Hillcrest’s quirky indoor-outdoor (hence the name) restaurant, or at one of her many drag shows around town. For Paris, shot here by Hannah Bernabe, the whole
world is a stage from which she can entertain and share the art of drag. “My audience on one night might not be surrounded by drag or may have never seen drag, and then the next night, my audience is full of regulars who watch my shows every week. Everyone comes with an open mind and with the goal of being entertained,” she says. Entertainment with a dose of social awareness? Well, isn’t that the cherry on top. –JI
