You Betcha Iris Zine Vol. 3 (Nat King Pole)

You Betcha Iris is a bilingual printed zine that profiles one Tiohtià:ke/Montreal-based drag performer per issue. Editor Clara spoke with Montreal's Panty Whisperer, Nat King Pole, at a café inside a luxury dog hotel. Nathalie Théoret, the woman behind the drag, opened up about starting her vaudevillian performance career at age forty after retiring from hockey, drawing inspiration from her day job as an orderly, and feeling out of place in today's glam-focused drag scene. Photographer Aok Palad captured The Pole Man at home reading Playboy, manspreading, and getting enraged while watching hockey.
