Our Reading Queens
Feather Talia is a two spirit Indigiqueer Drag Queen who had started drag in Regina Sk, but now resides in Winnipeg Manitoba. She is the pride of Muskowekwan First Nation, and represents her culture within her performances and makeup skills. Feather Talia is heavily involved with groups such as the “Sunshine Bunch”, which is a group of drag artist who reside in the home of the Sunshine House and is a big part of “The Bannock Babes”. Since moving to Winnipeg, Feather has been given the title: Indigiqueer drag Comedian. When Feather is performing, She is here to bring you some sass, yet outrageously funny entertainment! She will either have you gagged with her stunts or your guts hurting from laughter!
Satina Loren is one of Winnipeg’s most celebrated drag queens, being the recipient of prestigious awards and titles, including Miss Club 200 and Winnipeg’s Next Drag Superstar. Taking inspiration from fairytales, old Hollywood starlets and fantasy, her calendars and shows have raised thousands of dollars for local LGBT charities. As Empress 15 and 25 of Winnipeg and as one of the House of Gold Diamonds Divas, she’s no stranger to throwing and promoting a great party! One thing to remember is: she’s not bad, she’s just drawn that way.
