The idea of a female drag queen may sound like an oxymoron, but
there’s a thriving scene of women who perform their own version of
outlandish hyperfemininity. While women have been drag kings for
decades – women performing as men – female queens are a new-ish
addition to the scene, who are peeling away layers of gender
identity. It’s a deliciously complicated web to untangle: these are
women, performing as what would have been (historically, at least)
a man performing as a woman. Female queens are traversing gender
boundaries as well as putting on outrageously entertaining
performances, now meet the incredibly talented No, No, Notorious
Ali Doom this exotic queen takes us on her incredibly journey as a
drag queen, finding her sexuality, and establishing her house Yes
my loves she is Mother to the house of DOOM! So what are you
waiting for? Set a bubble bath, turn on some candles and let us
take you on a 30-minute journey in art of female drag.
About Ali Doom
I started my performance career in 2009 as a burlesque dancer
studying under Miss Exotic World 2002. I performed mostly in
straight bars as filler between rockabilly bands. It was fun for a
moment but I always felt like something was lacking. Like I wasn’t
reaching my fullest potential, and like I was being fully
appreciated. That’s when I discovered drag. I was between
relationships and wasn’t aware of my sexuality or I suppose I was
still discovering it. I discovered Rupauls Drag Race and then found
myself fascinated with certain Drag Race stars. I would go to my
local gay bars and watch my favorite drag performers perform.
That’s when I really got inspired. I befriended all the local
queens, one in particular, St. Peter D’Vil. Peter hosted an
alternative drag night in Pomona and LA at the time and gave me my
first booking in a drag show. From there my performance career
kicked off, fast. I was booked everywhere from Riverside to LA. I
also traveled with my drag daughter, Frankie Doom and we performed
in Washington and Omaha, which was amazing. I love to travel! I
established a drag family/tribe during this time. I’ve also hosted
a lot of drag shows on my own and with other queens. Right now I
host a show called Cinch at club ripples in long beach. The rest is
history…
