San Francisco selects D’Arcy Drollinger as first drag laureate in US

The nation’s first-ever drag laureate was named Thursday in San Francisco.

Well-known drag performer and nightclub owner D’Arcy Drollinger was selected to the ambassador-esque position by Mayor London Breed, who called her a “a bright star” in the Golden City.

The role lasts for 18 months – a span where Drollinger said she plans to make the city “sparkle.”

“My goals are to make San Francisco sparkle. I think drag performers bring a lot of sparkle and humor and glamor and silliness to the world. I think that is part of why drag is so successful,” said Drollinger, a man who uses feminine pronouns when in drag.

She said she intends to be in drag “pretty much 24/7 for the next 18 months.”

He's going to "make San Francisco sparkle" by, what, sprinkling glitter on all the human feces littering SF sidewalks?

Truly California has become a latter-day Weimar Republic.

Glad to hear SF has solved its crime and homelessness problems and can spend time with fluffy doings such as this.
