Before he put on the glittery neon yellow tasseled jumpsuit, donned the yellow wig, and lip synced and danced onstage under colorful spotlights, Paul Hidacan went through his preshow routine in a busy dressing room. “I grew up in my church,” said Mr. Hidacan, 21, who has attended service in cropped tops, skirts and boots, and started performing in drag last year. “I know there are some who raise their brows when they see me, but the pastors accept me.”In many places in the Philippines, drag is becoming more mainstream, and more popular. Drag queens are on fashion magazine covers, and are pitching name-brand products like MAC Cosmetics, Shell gasoline, Durex condoms and Samsung phones. Students of at least one public university recently held a drag competition.

Estee Lauder (EL) has the dubious distinction as the worst-performing stock in our portfolio in 2023, and we're growing less optimistic about CEO Fabrizio Freda's ability to right the ship. Jim added he may consider selling Estee Lauder due to the uncertainty that lies ahead. Alongside fiscal Q1 results, Estee Lauder management cut its fiscal 2024 outlook suggesting the trajectory of getting back on track for China consumer demand growth will take longer than expected. Jim believes the Club has been patient and has given Estee Lauder the time required for inventories in its Asia travel retail business to normalize. An Estee Lauder pop-up store is seen inside daimaru Department Store on Nanjing Road Pedestrian street in Shanghai, China, August 6, 2021.

The firm said it was working to understand the nature and scope of the data that was stolen. The MAC Cosmetics owner said it was working to restore the affected systems and had implemented measures to secure its operations. Estee Lauder did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for further comment.
