Politics Is a Drag
Politics Is a Drag
In Politics Is a Drag, Ashley Longshore fantastically imagines all U.S. presidents as full-face drag fantasy—Founding Fathers serving powdered-wig pageantry, Lincoln glowing in rhinestoned resolve, and Obama radiating pure runway poise. Vivid color, electric detail, and unapologetic attitude burst from each portrait, painted in Longshore’s unmistakable pop-art maximalism dialed all the way up. Printed on luxurious, high-gloss pages, the portraits explode with glitter, bold color, and unapologetic sparkle, shining as brightly as the world they reimagine.
A subversive celebration of self-expression, queerness, and the theatrical spectacle of American power, the book stands as both homage and send-up—patriotic, playful, and joyously unrestrained. For collectors, pop-culture devotees, and fans of Longshore’s iconic audacity, it offers a winking reminder that history is always ripe for reinvention, especially when glitter is involved.
