BOY (trailer)

Wrik Mead’s video begins with a celestial introduction, leading into an otherworldly, sensuous, glamorous journey through the glimmering bodily landscapes of two drag queen lovers. As Mead slows down their gestures, the physical tension between them heightens: red-lipsticked lips gently caress, silver nail-polished hands sweep across flesh, fake eyelashes bat, all with a sense of longing and a hint of laughter. The entire performance a profession: I’m not in love, I’m not in love. This playful, kitchy-cool video will inspire one to pick up a microphone, put on their own form of drag, and get their 10cc on. - Meera Margaret Singh
