Join Tom Fitzgerald and Lorenzo Marques, creators of the influential pop culture blog "Tom + Lorenzo Fabulous & Opinionated" for a talk about their book, Legendary Children: The First Decade of RuPaul’s Drag Race and the Last Century of Queer Life, queer history and culture. Using RuPaul’s Drag Race as a touchstone, it is the ultimate guide to all-things Drag Race and its influence on modern LGBTQIA culture. The book aims to further RuPaul’s mission to – in her words – “teach the children” the roots of drag culture and how it fits into the arc of queer history.
Tom Fitzgerald and Lorenzo Marquez have been a couple for a couple of decades and married for half of one. In 2006, they took their backgrounds in film, music, fashion and advertising, and launched a gay-themed reality television blog called “Project RunGay.” Twelve years later, their eponymous website, "Tom + Lorenzo," enjoys a readership in the millions, a podcast listened to by tens of thousands every week, two books, and a social media presence that has all combined to successfully recast them from fan bloggers to legitimate fashion and cultural critics. They are members of GALECA: The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics, and Tomatometer-approved film and television critics for Rotten Tomatoes.
Free and open to the public. For more information, please call 702.507.3459.
