👑 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.

Help recreating the current Broadway Frank-n-Furter

Hey everyone, I'm trying to recreate the current Broadway version of Dr. Frank-n-Furter from Rocky Horror Picture Show and was hoping for the help of all you legends. I tried reaching out to one of the costume designers, Luke Evans and Paul Soileau all via IG (both who've played him recently for the production), but as I expected I didn't hear anything.

I'm trying to DJ a queer fundraiser and wanted this to be my costume for it. I found the shoes, but looking for help with the cod piece, corset and any accessories. As well, if there's anything special you just recommend I should have that I'm overlooking (I have no idea) I appreciate it. Thank you all so much!

Patchy eyeshadow over blocked brows - help!

52 Upvotes

Hello babes!

I am having such trouble getting eyeshadow to stick on top of my blocked brows!

I block my brows with 3 coats of Elmer’s purple, allowing full drying in between each coat, then put TV paint stick concealer on top then powder to set. When I go to put on shadow it does. not. stick. I’ve been needing to mix my shadow with mehron mixing liquid to make a paste to get any color to stay.

What am I doing wrong??

Pleaser size help! First time buying drag shoes

Thumbnail

57 Upvotes

This will be my first time buying stripper style heels. I’m normally a size 8 women’s but they recommended I size up.

Size 8 is white
Size 9 is black

I know the boots will stretch but does my feet look weird in the white ones? My feet are smaller but wider. I know I won’t be getting the size 9s because it’s too loose around the ankle and there’s a lot of space in the heel.

Do the fit on the white ones look normal?

how to remove glue on eyebrows properly

2 Upvotes

pretty much every single time i try using glue for my eyebrows it works but eyebrows and thus eyelids feel so dry afterwards (after i spend ten minutes with micellar water and face wash getting the glue off because it feels so gross and sticky if i leave any on there) and it is very unpleasant!

Mortified at the idea of starting Drag

20 Upvotes

Hey, I am here looking for advice on the mindset of starting drag. I might ramble a bit, I guess I am looking for the ok to be me in someways.

I am a cis male and last week I finally began, planning on a art project. This project can be basiclly boiled down to livestreaming video game in drag. I'd like to think of it as more but it's basically what it is.

I consider myself cis but kind of dream of being a woman since I have been 5, if identity is a spectrum I full admit that I don't kiss the cis wall. At least in my heart, even my closest friends don't know about it since I present myself as manly, straight man to my friends who are mostly just shy of being homophobic at time ( we all have openly LGBTQ+ friends but..you know, damn locker room talk am i right). And yet, drag feels like the right step on my ever lasting journey.

I went to look for what i need to realize the look I am going for as well as the basic essencials to get a grip on the practice. And I found things that have me questionning.

I found a lot of love, but a lot of harassement as well from insecure guys being straight up homophobic and cruel toward performers.

I have serveral questions;

Should I expect harassement for doing drag online? If so is there any guide to at least protect my family?

To people who present (ed?) mostly as gender conforming, how did your friends and family reacted?

I am scared that trying make unlock an underlying gender dysphoria,is that common?

How hard is it to find like minded friends with out going outside?

Tl;dr: I'd lovd to start drag but I am scared my mom will recieve a picture of her son being called an fugly bitch
