This essay aims to begin patching a gap in the emerging field of somaesthetics, which suffers from a blind spot when it comes to queerness. Even when they occasionally gesture toward homosexuality as a part of global ars erotica, philosophers have ignored the virtues exemplified by drag cultural excellence. This essay deploys the framework established by RuPaul’s Drag Race as a somatic lens through which campiness and queening provide analytical, pragmatic and practical conversation that is of substantial value in its contributions to the art of living one's best life.
