Meals on heels: San Francisco drag queens deliver amid virus
By HAVEN DALEY
yesterday
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) These divas deliver.
Drag queens don their colorful wigs, elaborate makeup and knee-high stiletto boots, but instead of stepping on a stage, theyre putting on a face covering, grabbing a takeout bag and bringing their musical numbers to fans doorsteps in San Francisco.
The Oasis nightclub is turning the boring dinner blues into Meals on Heels, dispatching drag queens like Amoura Teese and Kochina Rude to bring food, cocktails and socially distant lip-synching performances to people during the coronavirus pandemic.
On a recent evening, Rude delivered dinner to Kelsie Costa and her family in the citys Marina District and then lip-synched the drag show classic Finally by CeCe Peniston.
Theres not a lot to do these days with shelter in place and COVID and all that, Costa said. So gotta spice it up somehow. Its really fun.

They're lovely people. The thing about drag subculture is that they're incredibly community conscious. What they're doing is paying back support. The community had their backs when it was hard for them, and they never forget that kindness.
Wonderful people.
So glad you posted this here. Thank you.
