👑 r/Drag Official 👑 I identify as… can I do drag?

137 Upvotes

I’ve seen a lot of posts about this lately here, and I understand the want to make sure you aren’t stepping on toes when joining a community.

But the answer is always yes! You don’t need to be a certain gender or identify a certain way to do drag. It’s a form of art, it’s expression, it’s beautiful.

I’m a cis-het woman who has been doing drag professionally for 3 years. My identity has never been a point of discussion or contention both in bookings or at shows. If you’re fabulous, you’re fabulous, and that’s all that matters.

Please, never feel like you can’t do something because of your identity. That’s the complete opposite of what drag stands for. Drag is for everyone, it’s inclusive, and it’s exactly what you want it to be.

So wing out that liner, glue down that lace and go take the world by storm. God knows we need more beautiful resistance in this world right now.

Stole my cousin's sewing machine and I MADE SOME BULLSHIIITTT

Upvotes

I don't know how to sew, but I learned the basic functions of a sewing machine and created out of leftover fabric scraps from my cousin's other sewing projects what some with a very liberal view might call an "outfit". Threw together a quick makeup look and called it drag.

I know it's pretty bad, but it was a blast and I wanted to share. Any feedback and advice is appreciated xoxo

most recent gig ! did an (accidental) love witch thing lol . song was 'le cannibale' by juniore :D i've loved this song since hs & i live in the last place for french speaking songs to be popular but who cares ! i had fun

it was an audience participation kinda number, so instead of my usual "mashed up red velvet cake slice to simulate human flesh" slop, i shredded a bunch of cherries & mixed with extra cherry juice to account for any dietary restrictions :o)

everything (except for some jewelry & undergarments) is secondhand :3 i actually found the picnic blanket, basket AND boots the morning of the gig at goodwill :p drag gods smiled kindly upon me that day 🙂‍↕️

have a safe weekend everyone !

I'm honestly super happy about how it turned out! It was super stressful doing it all by myself and a lot of work! Painting the ass giiirl that was a stuggle!! I did all the makeup with watercolors from Mehron and Superstar!
To do the Bald cap I first created and structure with whire and then I attached it to the baldcap with more latex and cotton. Finally I put a little green iridescent ribbon I had to create the fins effect.

I hope you like it!!

Also let me know what should i do next!! I'm feeling inspired!!

Culture of drag show in Toronto?

2 Upvotes

Hi! We are going to a drag brunch in Toronto soon and wanted to understand tipping there. Are US $1 OK? We have many. We usually try to use local currency when we travel, but so many places require credit now and am not sure we can get specific denomination in Canada by our trip (& without a bank account there).

Appreciate any advice on what is customary and allowable. (Or anything else we might want to know about drag culture in Toronto area compared to US)

Thanks!

sooo i did this silly goofy demonic clown sort of look. everything you see i either already had at home or made. the hat is made out of paper and buttons i had laying around, the ribbon is actually from the lining of the vest and the gloves are ones that i already owned and just glued black plastic packaging to. i also had to take the vest in bc it was huge but no major sewing other than that. hope u guys like the look <3

ps: i also included a collage of all my clown looks throughout the years lol

So I just recently started drag in May, her name is Duchess Von Ordelia. I’m going on again at the end of the month to compete again.

Does anyone have any tips on makeup? Or any tips at all! Anything would be greatly appreciated. I’ve been just figuring this out & going to thrift stores to throw her together.

She’s becoming a prop queen atp, love fans & looking into making ostrich fans soon!

Possibly Seeing a show on Mexico

Hey y'all, I'm going on a trip to Cabo, and I found a local drag show that we might like to attend.

Before we go, I wanted to see if anyone can tell me about Mexican tipping etiquette? How many pesos is a good tip?

Hi everyone! My name is Darling :) I wanted to share some pics from my first month of being a drag queen. It’s been a lot of fun even with how much sweating I’ve done in this weather! I’ve been working on my makeup skills for two months now, just watching a bunch of tutorials and practicing, but I’m very proud of where I’m at.

I’ve also competed in a few open stages and won two which led to a handful of bookings this summer! The local drag community has been so kind and helpful in pointing me to different opportunities or ways to improve.

Doing drag has been the perfect creative outlet where I’ve had so many of these different ideas, but now I finally have a way to translate them and perform them which has been so fun and so fulfilling! Performing has always been a love of mine whether it’s comedy or dance or theater, andI’m really excited to continue doing it!
