Maxi Glamour

Glamour founded the St. Louis-based Qu'art in 2014 and organizes shows that promote diversity in the queer arts scene. They cite PLUR (Peace Love Unity Respect) from the raver scene as an influence. Much like other aspects of the region, LGBT culture in St. Louis is influenced by historic racial segregation practices. Glamour is outspoken about the lack of Black performers at queer events in the area, saying "if you're a producer and you're not putting black people in your show, maybe you shouldn't be producing."[2] Glamour also advocates for transgender, AFAB,[3] and Nonblack people of color performers.[4] To promote civic and political education, each Qu'art event includes a panel featuring community leaders, activists, and artists speaking about issues that affect queer lives.[5]

Glamour may be the first drag performer from St. Louis to appear on a major televised drag competition. Their international debut was in The Boulet Brothers' Dragula Season 3 in 2019.[6] They participated in the first episode elimination challenge, which involved skydiving in drag,[3] however were eliminated in the fourth episode.[2]
