This, despite recent protests over the social networking giant's \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/alltechconsidered/2014/09/28/351810042/facebook-requires-real-names-what-does-that-mean-for-drag-queens\" target=\"_blank\">policy that requires users to go by their real names.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Across the U.S., members of the drag community have decried Facebook's\u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms\" target=\"_blank\"> \"real name\" policy\u003c/a> since October of last year, after what activists called \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/09/16/FacebookDragQueens\" target=\"_blank\">a rash of discrimination\u003c/a> and targeted flagging of LGBT users.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The policy allows users to anonymously report fellow Facebookers whom they believe to be using a fake name. While the company maintains the protocol is in place to protect users from certain types of fraud, drag performers and other individuals who rely on pseudonyms argue the policy actually has the potential to put users in grave danger.

Girls (and some boys) look up to her, want to emulate her and even dance like her. There are YouTube tutorials that'll try teaching you how shake it like Yoncé, but bumping into your coffee table while trying to stop, pop, and drop it doesn’t make you feel like you’re closer to being in a Beyoncé video.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Enter Carol Johnstone, one of the co-founders of \u003ca href=\"http://www.bayareaflashmob.com/\">Bay Area Flash Mob\u003c/a>. After a successful Beyoncé flash mob performance earlier this year, Johnstone thought of expanding the series and focusing on the routine from the “Ego” music video. She sent out a press release to Eventbrite and \u003cem>7x7\u003c/em>, to gauge interest and hopefully gain 30-ish RSVPs for the class. She ended up with 816 sign ups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I want to help women feel sexy and empowered like Beyoncé and, it’s a good workout. The way she drops it the floor with her leg popped out: it’s not easy,” Carol Johnstone tells me over the phone from her home in Marin. I take her word for it, not only because Johnstone has met Queen B herself, but because I’ve stubbed my toe attempting it myself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Johnstone’s career connected with dance five years ago, when she joined the Thrill the World flash mob to learn Michael Jackson’s \"Thriller\" choreography. Here, she met fellow co-founders of BAFM, who together went on to build a following of 2000+ members through word-of-mouth and social media.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>http://youtu.be/S7vEKxX-g7g\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2010, a friend turned her onto Les Twin, a hip-hop dance duo from France, who were gaining popularity in the dance community. After some internet sleuthing, Johnstone discovered Les Twin were coming to San Francisco and she could be several feet away from them, “for like, five bucks.”What started out as innocent fangirling (asking for a picture with them) turned out to be a life changing business deal. “I asked if they had a website and they told me about their Facebook page...so I offered to make them a proper fan site.

Girls (and some boys) look up to her, want to emulate her and even dance like her. There are YouTube tutorials that'll try teaching you how shake it like Yoncé, but bumping into your coffee table while trying to stop, pop, and drop it doesn’t make you feel like you’re closer to being in a Beyoncé video.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Enter Carol Johnstone, one of the co-founders of \u003ca href=\"http://www.bayareaflashmob.com/\">Bay Area Flash Mob\u003c/a>. After a successful Beyoncé flash mob performance earlier this year, Johnstone thought of expanding the series and focusing on the routine from the “Ego” music video. She sent out a press release to Eventbrite and \u003cem>7x7\u003c/em>, to gauge interest and hopefully gain 30-ish RSVPs for the class. She ended up with 816 sign ups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I want to help women feel sexy and empowered like Beyoncé and, it’s a good workout. The way she drops it the floor with her leg popped out: it’s not easy,” Carol Johnstone tells me over the phone from her home in Marin. I take her word for it, not only because Johnstone has met Queen B herself, but because I’ve stubbed my toe attempting it myself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Johnstone’s career connected with dance five years ago, when she joined the Thrill the World flash mob to learn Michael Jackson’s \"Thriller\" choreography. Here, she met fellow co-founders of BAFM, who together went on to build a following of 2000+ members through word-of-mouth and social media.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/S7vEKxX-g7g'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/S7vEKxX-g7g'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
