Dallas has an increasing number of drag performers who identify as female and perform as men. A pride event celebrates these drag kings.
The drag king scene in Dallas-Fort Worth is far reaching, but there still aren’t enough stages for all the local kings.
And, for the past 12 years, the artist has performed as Buck Wylde across the local drag and burlesque landscape. Buck Wylde is a concoction of pop culture excellence, invoking the likes of John Travolta, Brian Seltzer, Elvis Presley and Little Richard. “Dukes of Dallas had stopped around 2009, so there wasn’t anywhere for drag kings at all,” she says. “There weren’t very many drag-king-friendly places, and so for [Mustache Envy], it was about providing a space for kings and that visibility.”
The integration of the drag-king scene and burlesque as well as queerlesque also created changes within the local form, creating a shift away from the more traditional pageantry and expanding on the freedom and fluidity within the art form.“It‘s a very interesting way to play with gender,” Williams says. “At the time [when I started], I was still identifying as cis — I don’t think I had a term for that. I never quite felt just female. It was a great way at first of exploring masculine identity.
