From the Metro Herald 20/10/2010: “Shirley Temple Bar seeks ‘draguates’. Bored with grad school? Drag School might be for you. Shirley Temple Bar has chosen 12 under-draguates for Drag Academy, Ireland’s first drag-queen finishing school. The cross-dressing presenter* will put the draguates through their paces as part of her weekly bingo show in The George in Dublin. ‘My challenge is to turn 12 students into perfect drag queens or Draguates by improving their confidence, their appearance and their performance, which may not be easy”, said Miss Temple Bar. ‘Some of them have no stage experience at all. It’s going to mostly fun but learning is always a bit of a drag’”.
