Rupaul's Drag Race and Philosophy: Sissy That ThoughtAs RuPaul has said, this is the Golden Age of Drag and that's chiefly the achievement of RuPaul's Drag Race, which in its eleventh year is more popular than ever, and has now become fully mainstream in its appeal. The show has an irresistible allure for folks of all persuasions and proclivities. Yet serious or philosophical discussion of its exponential success has been rare. Now at last we have RuPaul's Drag Race and Philosophy, shining the light on
As RuPaul has said, this is the Golden Age of Drag--and that's chiefly the achievement of RuPaul's Drag Race, which in its eleventh year is more popular than ever, and has now become fully mainstream in its appeal. The show has an irresistible allure for folks of all persuasions and proclivities. Yet serious or philosophical discussion of its exponential success has been rare. Now at last we have RuPaul's Drag Race and Philosophy, shining the light on all dimensions of this amazing phenomenon: theories of gender construction and identity, interpretations of RuPaul's famous quotes and phrases, the paradoxes of reality shows, the phenomenology of the drag queen, and how the fake becomes the truly authentic. Among the topics covered: ● How the show's controversial contestant The Vixen was able to proclaim her own truth by challenging the conventional stereotypes of reality TV. ● If, as RuPaul has taught us, all social roles are equivalent to drag, what justifies the show's almost exclusive focus on the classical drag queen? ● Nietzsche's insight that the self is plural rather than singular, divided rather than unified, helps us construct a new kind of self--the "drag self." ● When two fan subcultures meet: The interpenetration of RuPaul's Drag Race and Twin Peaks in "Fire Werk with Me." ● The lip-sync is the final challenge of the glamorous gauntlet of RuPaul's Drag Race, a game without rules or clear expectations that forces us to think about the meaning of play. ● New technologies of surveillance analyze and classify us in order to fix our identities; we can defend ourselves by creating our own masks, to preserve our privacy and define our own identities. ● Drag queens and mall Santas as performances of gender roles.Binding Type: Paperback

Good Tissot Watch
Color: Grey
Arrived on time, in its original box, include a 2 year international warranty, into the box include a book with the Tissot brand history in Switzerland. Algo a second book with a whole catalog of Tissot watches men and women.
The watch looks better when you put in on your wrist. The “naval” blue really gives the clock a classy look. The stainless steel workmanship is really good, the metal is bright and perfectly polished. The metal wristband quality is very good, did not have any problem to adjust the size , I went to my preferred clock workshop for this job, they extracted a few pieces of the band to fit to my small wrist size. Have to get used to the butterfly latch, but after a few days, now I learned to open and close it without any effort. The clock it’s very accurate, I’ve been using my Tissot for near a month and it just increased a few seconds per week. I do the setup and check accuracy with my pc clock. In short, It”s a good value watch, nice, good looking, accurate.

Good enough for Trump, good enough for me.
Size: 9, Color: Black Crazy Horse
Not gonna lie, the only reason I first bought these were because Trump likes this brand of shoes and the fake media ran a story about it. Once I got them and tried them on I was shocked just how comfortable they were. These are very nice and comfortable. I will definitely be buying more from this brand. Nice job Florsheim. 45/47

Excellent shoes - good fit, nice look.
Excellent shoes - great value for money! Attractive and well built. Got several unsolicited compliments from co-workers. They are stiff at first and require a bit more of a break-in period than some other shoes I have purchased lately. I hope that is a sign of durability ...
