DRAG QUEEN — Tri-C student Aaron Gordon, known in drag as Penelope Von Drey, applies makeup backstage at Cleveland State University’s Drag Race event on March 29, 2012. The semi-annual event, hosted by CSU’s Gay Lesbian and Straight Alliance, featured more than a dozen cross-dressing performers who danced and lip-synched to popular songs. Gordon said the event marked his second time performing in drag and his first time performing in heels. “I’m going to just go with it,” Gordon said. “I just hope I don’t kill myself out there.” Photo by Brandon Blackwell @CapturedCLE

Winesburg Builders are the rats!” Photo by Brandon Blackwell @CapturedCLE
