    Yeah that really does increase the houses’ wind resistance

      I respect drag.

      I cannot respect showering corporations with money to buy lights to cover your already unnecessarily large mcmansion in gaudy baubles, and waste enormous amounts of electricity for over a month just so everyone can see how much more “festive” you are than your neighbor.

      The money wasted on the setup in just one of these pictures alone could feed dozens of homeless for a month. And I think feeding the hungry fits in way better with the supposed theme of Christmas.

    Ru Paul, please do a Christmas Lights special and judge the houses in the exact same way while the whitebread family with their two and a half kids stand there on the lawn grimacing at the camera.

    For a second I thought this said “Subaru people” and my first thought was “But we’re all lesbians.”

      Kinda, but both are performative maximalism done within a subcultural framework done as both a means to express identity and to have an opportunity to be as flashy and showy as they’d like. The people who go all out for Halloween are a different variant of it.

        But that applies to many things so calling it drag, to classify the whole group, doesn’t really make sense.

      I thought drag was more about taking it to the extreme as some sort of artistic expression, and not intending to dress like a woman.

        Cross-dressing is usually part of it, but not required. It’s also not limited to dressing as a woman.
