This is a journey spanning more than a century that follows the path blazed by the transformists, transvestites, and drag queens who worked in Spain from the late 19th century onward. It is written to be read aloud in a style that falls somewhere between the academic tone of an essay, a short story, or an article in a popular gossip magazine.

You're so transvestite! A brief history of drag in Spain It is an urgent and passionate investigation into an ephemeral, powerful, political, playful, and transformative art form in our recent history. Above all, it is a tribute to all the stars who have illuminated, continue to illuminate, and will continue to illuminate the nights of our country.

Finally, an illustrated book that chronicles the recent history of drag in our country, including excerpts from interviews and performances. It features a foreword by Supreme de Luxe, host of "Drag Race Spain" and current contestant on "Your Face Sounds Familiar."

Prologue de Supremme de Luxe:

The book features a foreword written by Supremme de Luxe, one of the most iconic figures in drag in Spain and host of "Drag Race Spain." With her characteristic eloquence and sharp sense of humor, Supremme frames this work within the context of the struggle and celebration of the LGBTQ+ community, highlighting the importance of drag as a revolutionary artistic expression that has challenged social and cultural norms for decades. Her foreword serves as a love letter to drag and the people who made it possible.

About the author:

Anto Rodríguez, researcher, playwright, and stage designer, combines his love of history, art, and performance in this work. With an unmistakable style, he manages to unite the academic with the popular, constructing a narrative that captures the importance of drag as an artistic expression deeply connected to resistance and cultural identity. Through his research and writings, Anto pays tribute to those figures who, through their work and talent, have changed society's perception of the LGBTQ+ community and have left an indelible mark on our collective memory.
