Moon (drag queen)

Moon, in the context of drag performance, typically refers to a specific type of reveal or performance aspect. It often involves exposing the performer's buttocks, either suddenly or as part of a planned routine. The "moon" itself is a colloquial term for the buttocks, derived from their perceived visual resemblance to the lunar body.

The use of "mooning" in drag can serve various purposes. It can be employed for comedic effect, shock value, or as a subversive act challenging conventional notions of beauty and gender. The act can be integrated into a larger performance, such as a lip sync, dance number, or comedy skit.

The reception of a "moon" moment within a drag performance varies widely depending on the audience, the venue, and the overall tone of the act. While some viewers may find it humorous and entertaining, others might perceive it as vulgar or inappropriate. Context is crucial in determining its impact.

The legality of public exposure varies by jurisdiction and can depend on factors such as intent and the specific location. Drag performers considering incorporating "mooning" into their acts should be aware of and comply with local laws and regulations.
