The Beginning of Drag Culture In San Antonio
Published: May 31, 2021
One of the hardest working queens on the scene, Paramour Bar Entertainment Director Kristi Waters is more than just an award-winning performer. Waters is a multi-talented powerhouse who helped catapult the drag culture in San Antonio from “hush hush” to loud and proud. Audiences pack the Paramour’s Sunday Drag Brunch every week to watch her vamp it up with her glam costumes and raucous humor. But what they may not realize is that Waters is an introvert by nature.
“I’ve always been really shy,” she says. “It’s only when I’m in full drag that I come out of my shell. To me, it’s like a mask, and if you can’t see who I am, then I can say what I want.”

Corpus Christi ISD held its 13th annual Academic Achievers Ceremony Thursday evening at Selena Auditorium to honor the top 10 seniors from eight high schools.
The high schools involved were Harold T. Branch Academy, Mary Carroll High School, Collegiate High School, Richard King High School, Roy Miller High School, Foy H. Moody High School, W.B. Ray High School and Veterans Memorial High School.
The event, themed Unmasked, recognized 80 students joined by two guests and their favorite teacher. Superintendent Roland Hernandez said the theme was chosen to acknowledge how each student triumphed while facing adversity. Students, you have shown just how dedicated you are to your education and to conquering the goals you set, Hernandez said. I know making it to the top 10, and then staying there was no easy feat. Especially with the added roadblocks of a pandemic and a historic freeze.
