Glitter, dry ice, false eyelashes, and tape. But what goes on behind all the illusion? For the first Watercooler of the year, come hear stories from the drag artists beneath the wigs, make up and drama. In a Pride special, Drag connoisseurs Raoūl Dinesh (Rani Kumari), Dan Veint (Drew Blood) and Sean Stapleton (Shavorn Aborealis) will spill all the tea, sharing stories about how drag found them, how they find it, and everything in between.

Issue #53 is hosted by the ever-sassy Todd Waters, proudly gay, very bald and one of the masterminds behind The Watercooler. You might also know him from the hit ATC show, BOYS.
