Beauty Bar AVL and Spellbound Children’s Bookshop are excited to host another Drag Queen Story Hour at Beauty Bar! Spellbound will be selecting the stories and setting up a pop up store at the salon and our friend Euphoria will be the reader. We’ll have a couple of dance breaks, too!
Drag Queen Story Hour (DQSH) is just what it sounds like—a drag queen reading stories to children. DQSH captures the imagination and play of the gender fluidity of childhood and gives kids glamorous, positive, and unabashedly queer role models. In spaces like this, kids are able to see people who defy rigid gender restrictions and imagine a world where people can present as they wish, where dress up is real.
All ages welcome. Free!
Beauty Bar Avl is in the River Ridge Market Place at 800 Fairview Road. (The same shopping center as Mr. K’s Used Books.)

If you don’t know Consignment your about to be hooked!
Consignment is easy! You earn 70% and get to shop before the public at our private Volunteer and Consignor pre sale.
Use our easy on-line system to enter items, price and print your tags, then just hang and drop off and watch them sell 🙂 then pick up any unsold items and your check after the sale. It’s that easy.
