7 Amazing Drag Performances To Get You Through The Beyonce Drought

    Imitation is the Sasha Fiercest form of flattery.

    This is Beyoncé. She's pretty great. You've probably heard of her.

    What you haven't heard, however, is her fifth album because it's still not out.

    The absence of a Beyoncé album, or even an official single, has made summer 2013 especially difficult for those of us who rely on the glory of Mrs. Carter to get by.

    These are drag queens.

    Drag queens love Beyoncé. It's a rule, basically.

    And when drag queens love a singer, they copy… umm, pay homage to her the best way they know how: by dressing, looking, and performing like her.
