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

140 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.

I won a local drag competition that got me on cast for Dawn’s Hard Candy show! The sword prop I built from scratch using cardboard and paper mache took about 6+ months to make. It’s heavy af and I’ll be using EVA foam next time 😮‍💨 Dawn even signed my ear!

Who said black girls can’t wear blue?

Blue is my favorite color, but some might be surprised to learn about the stigma regarding women of color and blue. Blue was always seen as an undesirable for women of color. The standard for black and brown girls has always been warm tones to complement their warm skin. But not every brown person has warm tones. Even if they do have warm tones- blue can contrast very well with R.O.Y. tones. If you’re reading this- to hell with traditional color theory, where whatever color you want.

Colourful face paint recommendations?

3 Upvotes

Hi I am looking for a colourful face paint palette, I’ve been doing research but finding it overwhelming. I’m just doing looks in my bedroom, sometimes on a night out, but I would like a range of colours and not crazy expensive, does anyone have any recommendations?

Question on crowd responses (…)

2 Upvotes

Hi!

32 y/o queerdo from the hood in the south (that’ll make sense in a minute). I love drag, it’s my favorite live show to see, but I’ve noticed now that I make time for it more my exclamations are somewhat limited. I revert a bit to my inner child and just holler “Aye!” “Way!” and “Aaaaaaaaaye-YO!” (occasionally a “get it!” or “come on” comes up too lol).

Y’all got any favorites you’ve seen in the wild i can pull into rotation? I tend to be the most hype person around for some f***ing reason, and Im not a “wooooo!” person (no hate) 😆.

Trying to sew more of my own looks! This is my second complete project! Pretty pleased with the results overall and this was just meant to be a practice garment as I have some expensive fabric I want to make a similar dress out of and didn’t want to mess it up. Learned a couple things and ready to start on the next one! What do you think? 💋

UK baby queen looking for the whitest of white eyeshadow!

6 Upvotes

Looking to expand my products especially to get some higher quality pigmented products, I've seen Sugarpill Tako recommended a lot but I can't get my hands on it! They don't ship over here and it's not even on Amazon 🥲

An eyeshadow would be ideal but I'm open to cream/liquid products either, something I can get a really clean cut crease with.

Won my first title! Proud to have won Supreme Slut '25 and incorperate ASL in my lipsync

I performed a Doechii & Gaga mashup and I decided to incorperate ASL interpretations as a part of my lipsinc! As a queen with an auditory processing disorder, performing has definitely been a challenge. Between busy club settings with overlapping sounds and having to physically read the lyrics to every song I want to memorize I've definitely got my hands full.

But I'm super proud of how far I've come and I hope I also helped people who also share a similar experience feel seen in the community!

Plus size Baby Queen need help finding some basics

3 Upvotes

Hi, I’m a beginner queen trying to get the basics for my body before I start creating looks, I’m primarily looking for 2 things:

- a good corset for someone with a decent sized stomach and a wide rib cage

- regular tights and fishnets that won’t rip, I feel as tho every pair I’ve gotten has shredded after one night of use especially in the crotch

Any and all advice is greatly appreciated!
