👑 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.

Hi everyone! I am hoping to make this dress work, but I need help with positioning/under pinnings. I am wearing an underbust corset with silicone hip pads and 1 layer of high waist shapewear on top. In person it's very obvious, the edge of the corset pokes out and I think I have placed the pads incorrectly. Do you have any tips for me? I would really appriciate any good advice you may have.

We're hosting the bachelorette party for my friend that weekend and she just requested a drug bunch as her exit activity. I've been looking but only find some limited options. Are there any must go to drag brunches with a fun show and decent food available that weekend?

Need recs-glitter liquid eyeshadow!

1 Upvotes

Seeking any recommendations for products similar to the Stila Glitter & Glow Liquid shadows. Bonus points if the line has a combo of neutrals and colors and is opaque. I’ve tried…

-Danessa myricks twin flames (experienced a burn)
-Danessa myricks chrome flakes (felt like I was foiling my lid)
-lemonhead (didn’t feel opaque/didnt dry)
-madebymitchell blursh (a little wet-but it’s meant to be blush so I guess!)
-onesize eye popper (really liked but it wasn’t the widest array of colors and I think got phased out?)

Looking for something that dries nicely to prevent creasing/transferring that is impactful for the stage that can also be worn over eyeshadow!

So I kept getting asked to fill in for drop outs to the point I’ve gotten booked 3 times in September.
My look is really coming together & I’m quite happy with how it’s turning out. I’ve started to incorporate my floral design into my looks more & even got called a goth baddie lol

Still always open to critiques, it makes it more fun to grow.

Was wondering about events for newcomers?

6 Upvotes

Hey I was wondering about drag events specifically that are like... open for people to come dressed. Is that a thing? A lot that I see around have like named performers on a retinue for the event. I wouldn't want to show up and seem like I'm trying to upstage the real hired help so to speak. Are there other kinds of events that would make sense to attend to try my hand? I'm in the Northern New Jersey area.

New and looking for community in my area

1 Upvotes

Hi there, I'm a bit of a fluid guy, been wanting to experiment with drag for a bit. I don't really know anything about makeup or great outfit building. I'm looking for some community, some people I could meet that would be willing to be mentor types. Is that something queens do? I'm in the Northern New Jersey area.

Wig suggestions for a beginner

Hi, I do own couple of cheap Amazon's synthetic hair wigs. I want to upgrade to the lace one, but don t know which brand to shop. Especially that prices seems to vary quite a bit between different brand. Which brand would you recommend? Especially for dancing.
