    Eat Sleep Drag Repeat

    And for those who feel they did not manage to perfect their death drop on the dance floor this weekend, well, why not leave that to the professionals and go see the absolute queen of death drops herself Miss Laganja Estranja over at the Queenshilling for Eat Sleep Drag Repeat. Although this drag queen might not have made it onto RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 2 she still knows how to work the crowd and is a fitting end to your weekend.
