LAURIE GREEN -AUTHOR-Drag Queens and Beauty Queens: Contesting Femininity in the World's Playground
Drag Queens and Beauty Queens: Contesting Femininity in the World's Playground
by Laurie Greene
Publisher: Rutgers University Press (December 18, 2020)
The Miss America pageant has been held in Atlantic City for the past hundred years, helping to promote the city as a tourist destination. But just a few streets away, the city hosts a smaller event that, in its own way, is equally vital to the local community the Miss’d America drag pageant.
Drag Queens and Beauty Queens presents a vivid ethnography of the Miss’d America pageant and the gay neighborhood from which it emerged in the early 1990s as a moment of campy celebration in the midst of the AIDS crisis. It examines how the pageant strengthened community bonds and activism, and how it has changed now that Rupaul’s Drag Race has brought many of its practices into the cultural mainstream. Comparing the Miss’d America pageant with its glitzy cisgender big sister, anthropologist Laurie Greene discovers how the two pageants have influenced each other in unexpected ways.
Drag Queens and Beauty Queens deepens our understanding of how femininity is performed at pageants, exploring the various ways that both the Miss’d America and Miss America pageants have negotiated between embracing and critiquing traditional gender roles. Ultimately, it celebrates the rich tradition of drag performance and the community it engenders.

Dr. Lindsey Elmore
Hey y’all! I’m Lindsey.
I make science and business understandable.
Back in the day, I struggled with insomnia. Through a few strokes of luck, I ended up at an acupuncturist who opened my eyes that the way medicine is practiced in the United States is not even close to how it is practiced in other countries.
I was raised by a nurse, have a Bachelor’s Degree in Chemistry and a Doctorate of Pharmacy, and completed two years of post-doctoral education in internal medicine and family medicine.
I went on to become a pharmacist highly studied in herbs, supplements, and food as medicine, and one who was so weird I went in search of shamans, healers, and any natural health practice I could find. I got certified to teach yoga and meditation, and host retreats all over the world.
To date, I have spoken to audiences on five continents in more than 30 countries. I wrote a book about essential oils and supplements called Essentials: 75 Answers to Common Questions about Essential Oils and Supplements. I’ve built a big social media presence with more than 20 million minutes of education watched online.
I’m also a business owner and entrepreneur. I have turned my knowledge of natural wellness into my profession, and I have learned more than a few meaningful lessons from Young Living leaders. Whatever your superpower is, I love working with women to put it to work to help them grow their business.
I’ve created The YL Education Club because there was nothing like it. There was no place that you could come learn about products, connect with other hustlers, and decide if you have the chops to grow a business.

ANGELA PEARSON-AUTHOR-I am Not Contagious By Angela K. Pearson#INTERVIEW#GHOSTMAN RADIO STATION
I am Not Contagious
By Angela K. Pearson
A Book for Children Who Have Known the Sting of Rejection and Ostracism When Parents Have Decided Against Vaccination
Angela K. Pearson’s Movement to Protect Children’s Self-Esteem When the State Takes Away Their Right to Public Education -- and Others Fear or Point Fingers
Angela K. Pearson had a very powerful reason to opt out of the standard CDC-recommended vaccination schedule for her youngest children. Immediately after her healthy elder son was vaccinated, he developed side effects and eventually the chronic symptoms of systemic lupus, the same autoimmune disease her father had, and which has caused lifelong challenges for her son.
Her daughter and youngest son, Grayson, have remained perfectly healthy without any vaccinations. And yet, on the heels of Grayson entering first grade—just weeks into the school year—Governor Andrew Cuomo announced a mandate that only vaccinated children could attend school in the state. More than 26,000 children were banned from public and private education. (Similar laws have been enacted in California.)
As a result, Angela was forced to quit her very successful corporate career to be a stay-at-home home-schooling mom. But she was especially concerned about the impact that this rejection and the resulting ostracism by other children and parents on Grayson. So while seeking to restore his sense of self-esteem and emotional equilibrium, she hit upon the idea of a children’s book – for Grayson and other similarly-situated children, told from Grayson’s view point.
I am Not Contagious is available on Amazon.com or www.angelapearson.com for $23.99 in hardback and $14.99 in softcover, and on Kindle for $4.99.

Thus was born I am Not Contagious, a beautifully-illustrated children’s book that explores a child’s frustration at these adult issues, but also the wisdom to know there is nothing wrong with him or her. The book is a heartwarming story from a youngster’s perspective, filled with confidence, compassion and courage.
Angela K. Pearson is passionate about her family. She is a devoted mother of three and enjoys helping her children discover their talents, whether that be wrestling, music, martial arts, a business goal or themselves. She considers her children to be her biggest accomplishment. Aside from their health and happiness, she makes it a priority that they understand their basic human rights and encourages them to lead their lives with a moral compass.
After her eldest son experienced an adverse reaction to a vaccine, she adopted a conservative approach to the sources from which she receives information.
Angela has been a holistic enthusiast for 20 years. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Behavioral Science and Community Health. She believes earning her degree is a bonus in her life, but it’s not what defines her. She is strongly convinced that having a college education doesn’t make a person smarter than a person without one and that education stems from being open to factual information that isn’t indoctrinated or one-sided.
Being informed on vaccine ingredients and their direct effects, she opted out of the CDC’s vaccine scheduled program. Her daughter and youngest son never received any vaccinations, and are perfectly healthy. Unfortunately, her eldest son was diagnosed with systemic lupus, the same autoimmune disease Angela’s father had.
She advocates for informed consent regardless of where you stand on the matter and is confident that vaccines are not a one-size fits all. Given her history, she believes that every child should have their family history carefully examined along with the vaccine doses and ingredients before performing this type of medical procedure.
Angela is a lifestyle mentor and entrepreneur. I Am Not Contagious highlights not only her experience as a mother, her son’s perspective, but also provides a systematic analysis of human behavior and how it relates to society and the lack of education on this topic.
