Drag, exaggerated gender expression, often involving cross-dressing and performed in the context of entertainment has been a part of many cultures for thousands of years. It was born in response to religious misogyny and continued in that vein through the rise of theater. But once women were allowed on stage, drag lived on because it also serves many other important purposes; including self expression and subverting traditional gender norms. Drag has been at the heart or on the fringes of every major development in entertainment, and it has had an outsizes influence on fashion, language and culture. So put on whatever makes you feel most fabulous, be it a decadent gown and wig, a bespoke tuxedo and tails or something we’ve never seen before as we sashay through the history of drag and meet many marvelous drag kings and queens along the way...

Frequently Asked Questions
Are we able to learn from past mistakes and avoid making the same mistakes again?
History repeats itself, because we continue to make the same mistakes repeatedly. We fail to learn from our mistakes. We don't change. We become complacent. We settle for mediocrity.
Because we continue to believe the same old stories, history repeats itself. We have been taught to believe there are unchanging laws and fixed truths. We cannot change them.
This keeps us from being able to think critically. It prevents us from questioning authority. Questioning authority. We don't grow if we don’t question. We stagnate when we don’t grow. Stamina is when we continue to make the same mistakes.
But history isn't the same because we continue making the same mistakes. History repeats because we refuse lessons from our mistakes and continue making them over and again.
It is possible to break the cycle of history repetition. You can change the way you see the world, and your perspective by realizing that nothing is fixed in stone. There is no set in stone. Everything is constantly changing.
To break the cycle, embrace uncertainty. Accept that things might go wrong. Accepting that failure may be possible. Accept that failure is possible.
Accept that you may not achieve your goals. Acceptance of this fact is okay. But, don't let it stop you from striving to improve.
Holding on to the past will keep you stuck. You'll never move forward if you cling to the idea that there are fixed truths.
If you want freedom, you have to let go. You must let go of control if you want to move forward.
Who originally said those who don't learn from history?
As much as we would love to live in an ideal world where everyone learns from history, there is nothing more valuable than learning from our mistakes.
There's no better way to learn to do something right than to experience it wrong.
It is a mistake to not do it correctly the first time.
As long you keep making adjustments, you'll eventually see the reason you made them.
You may even find that you could do it better the second time.
It doesn't mean that you shouldn't continue to try. It means you've learned a lot.
While you may not be able avoid making mistakes, there are ways to minimize them. This is the difference between success, and failure.
Recognizing your mistakes is the first step. Then look at them objectively and ask yourself: "What did I learn?"
If you're honest with yourself, you'll realize that your mistakes are just lessons. They're opportunities to grow.
Thomas Edison experienced exactly that. He failed many more times before he invented the lightbulb.
He didn't let his failures discourage him. He used every failure as an opportunity to improve the design.
He developed the most well-known form of lighting we have today.
So, if you fail, don't get discouraged. Learn from your mistakes. Use them.
And then try again.
How to Learn from the Mistakes and Victories of Human History.
You don't have to wait for history to repeat itself. It doesn't take very long to learn from the failures of human history. Just make sure you are not repeating them yourself!
The key is to recognize what worked well in the past and apply those lessons to your business.
You can do this by reading books on leadership and management strategies and case studies of successful companies that have been around for decades.
This way, you'll be able to draw inspiration from their successes and avoid common pitfalls they fell into.
You can also look at examples of businesses which have been bankrupt. Why did they fail. Do these failures have any common themes? These insights will help you avoid costly mistakes.
Finally, read about notable historical figures like Abraham Lincoln and John D. Rockefeller. Although they had the most impressive resumes, none of them knew how to manage people or run companies. Learn from their mistakes to help you make better decisions.
It is possible to learn from both the successes and failures of human history. You just need to spend a few moments every day reflecting on what worked in the past, and then finding ways to apply them today.
What do our mistakes teach us?
Don't be too concerned about making a mistake. It's an opportunity to learn. That means you'll learn something. You can also learn from your mistakes. Don't fret about the little stuff, because mistakes are okay. We all make them.
Even though you may feel embarrassed after making a mistake it doesn't mean you have to feel guilty. How you handle your mistakes is what matters most. You will let your mistakes bother you. If you look at them as opportunities for growth, they'll make you stronger.
Acknowledge and move past a mistake is the best way for you to overcome it. You don't need to dwell on it. Instead, you should focus on the next step. Keep moving.
Don't be discouraged by your failures. Instead, try to find ways to improve. Learn from your mistakes, and you will be a better person tomorrow.
Successful Inventions Made from Accident
Inventors make mistakes. However, the way we react to those errors will determine whether our inventions turn out to be great successes or failures.
It is a fact that invention does not happen by accident. Every invention was planned. An accidental invention is not possible.
A deliberate act of invention is called an invention. Intentionally making something new. It solves a problem. Something that makes life better for someone.
However, the key to creating a successful invention is understanding how nothing happens by accident. So, instead of avoiding mistakes, focus on learning from them.
We would love to tell you that invention is simple, but it's not. Invention takes persistence and hard work. It's not a quick fix. It takes patience.
It means you have to spend a lot more time thinking about and trying out different ideas. What do people care about? What do they need?
These are the questions you need to ask. These questions will help guide you in deciding what kind of product/service you should develop next.
To do this, you have to put aside any preconceived notions. Preconceived notions about what the world needs or wants are not valid. You must listen to your customers and potential clients.
You have to learn what they want. They are not what they say they want.
Once you have figured out their needs, you need to find a way to make it happen. Here's where invention really begins.

How To
Accidental Inventions Lead to Penicillin Discovery
How did penicillin get created?
Penicillin was discovered accidentally when Alexander Fleming noticed mold growing on some bacteria cultures he had left out. He thought the mold might kill the bacteria, so he tried to find something that would destroy the mold.
He discovered penicillin could kill mold. Later, he realized that this new compound could also fight bacteria-related infection. Penicillin's discovery was one of most important medical breakthroughs. It saved millions of people's lives and revolutionized medicine.
Alexander Fleming wasn't aware at first that this discovery would be so crucial. No one else knew the same. Penicillin would soon be a powerful antibiotic.
Penicillin was discovered to be effective in fighting bacterial infections by scientists only after World War II. In 1945, the U.S. Army contacted Dr. Fleming to see if penicillin could help soldiers who had been infected with deadly germs. Dr. Fleming agreed.
Penicillin was effective against many types infections. It saved the lives and limbs of many wounded soldiers during World War II. And it helped doctors save countless lives after the war.
Dr. Fleming had no idea that his discovery would have such an impact. He simply wanted to be sure that mold didn't thrive on the bacteria he had studied. But he couldn’t see how such an easy experiment would lead to such a simple medical breakthrough.
It's not surprising that many of the discoveries we make every day don’t amount to anything extraordinary. These are just experiments that were made for no specific reason.
When you look back over history, you see that sometimes those seemingly unimportant experiments can change everything.
The most important discoveries are those that seem to have absolutely nothing in common. Penicillin was discovered. Or photography. Or electricity. Or even computers.
It doesn't happen just because someone has an idea. Because someone has a problem. And then, they solve that problem through experimentation.
