We asked over 100 insiders for the names of Portland’s Finest Drag Artists, and the nearly 100 names we received in response are so entertaining on their own that we just had to share them with you. Portland’s drag community thinks these performers are worthy of your attention and coins. If any of their careers really take off before WW runs this issue again, you can at least say you knew about them when.
If your favorite artist isn’t reflected here, or if their name is misspelled, tell me all about it via email: andrew@wweek.com.
