Support the independent voice of Phoenix and help keep the future of New Times free.
Drag isn’t just about getting all dolled up and tucking away unmentionables -- though a fierce lip sync ability and throwing some shade at the audience do make a performance memorable. Cover charges don’t always go toward wigs and eyelash extensions. Plenty of queens use their position as entertainers to raise money for charity.
Great things happen when queens come together, so Miss Vanilla de Lishus will take to the stage on Saturday, September 8, with support from The Grand Canyon Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, The Imperial Sovereign Empire of Arizona, Princess Royale VII, Ivanna Douchealotte, and Miss Lady Sapphire, and many other friends to raise money for Aunt Rita’s AIDS Walk. The walk aims to raise over $500,000, and this dragtacular event is here to help.

Keep Phoenix New Times Free... Since we started Phoenix New Times, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Phoenix, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Phoenix with no paywalls.
