Drag Makeup Workshop & Runway Fashion Show @ Lakewood Theater

We are very excited to welcome back Portland’s iconic drag queen, Valerie DeVille!  If you’ve been to our Drag Makeup Workshops before, then you may have already met her.you’ve been to our Drag Makeup Workshops before, then Valerie may have already given you some tips.

Valerie DeVille has been a main staple in the Portland drag scene for the past 13 years. Whether it was years ago when she started the very first drag brunch in town, or maybe one of the many competitions she has slayed, but most likely it is performing at one of the many local events around town. Born a mortuary heiress, Valerie used her skills as a fierce performer combined with poise, fashion and a whole lot of humor to ascend to superstardom! Now you can catch her hosting her monthly happy hour “Hopes and Drinks”, cohosting Friday nights at CC Slaughters or producing the only Drag Paint and Sip party at Bottle and Bottega!

You betta’ bring your A game and be ready to slay, because your looks will be judged during our Drag Runway Show. The bravest class models will get the chance to turn up the party, and werk it down the runway. Winning artists will receive a prize!

The Drag Runway Show will be open to the public, free, and will include a meet and greet and pictures with the host of our show, Valerie DeVille!

The Runway Show is FREE to all and begins at 4:30pm.  All are welcome – Invite your friends.
