Art form

BBC reports excitedly on another installment of Mock Women:

The first Derbyshire Drag Showcase has been announced.

The event, which is being held at Derby’s Museum of Making, has been set up to support Derby and Derbyshire’s drag scene and local LGBTQ+ performers.

We get not one not two but three glam photos of men in exaggerated womanface. Next up: the BBC reporting giddily on a minstrel show, with three photos of people in exaggerated blackface. Right? That’s going to happen, isn’t it?

Mr Webber explained why the museum was the place of choice for the first-ever drag showcase the county has had to offer.

“We fully appreciate that drag is an art form and it’s all about making, so we really want to champion that art of making and it should be celebrated at the museum.”

As is blackface, right? And so should blackface, right? It’s an art form and should totally be celebrated at the museum? Right?

The showcase is free to enter but will only be available for people aged 18 and above.

Huh? Why? It’s an art form and all about making, why is it only for people 18 and older?
