Two unidentified white drag queens sitting at a table with their backs to the wall and having a beer and a smoke at the Forest Ballroom (likely) in Kansas City; the one on the right is wearing a light pink dress and blond wig while the one on the left is wearing a light blue (or white? or light green? hard to tell with lighting) dress or blouse and has a cigarette in one hand; there's a half glass of beer in front of them.
