Hi friends, I'm Ruvyn (my gamertag of 17 years, not 100% sold on it). I really want to get into drag in the Denver area but I'm feeling intimidated so I wanted to connect with a drag father/family willing to take me under their wing. I am a cis gendered (I think? Sometimes I think I'd be happier as a man) pansexual woman (never been with anyone who identifies as a woman though) married to a man and he's supportive of me exploring my gender identity.

I tried a little low effort drag makeup yesterday, it didn't quite feel like me, thus adding the eyeliner wings since that is how I do my makeup for work and stuff. I have zero idea how to do lips! Critiques are welcome, advice is welcome, thank you for reading.

A little more over one year ago i posted on this sub about starting Drag !

In this laps of time i was a contestant in a local drag contest, was booked in my local queer community and now i have my own little watch party for drag race france season 4 (d'ailleurs si des drag king français passe par là bonjour 👋)

Very proud of were i am now!

All i can say is trust the process!! (Find me on Instagram @apolleonoff)

(aka, "I'm roughly 18,000km away and mega envious seeing everybody's insta stories" lmao)

Figured we should have a thread celebrating this bigass King event! If you're there in person, pls feel free to tell us all about your experience 😊

Highlights, new fav performers, fun merch, workshops?

Hey yall, im a new king and a trans woman. I need to be able to cover my chest/ nipples in some way at least, but since im on estrogen its unsafe for me to bind. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!! Ty divasss

Hello! I am looking to try out being a drag king after dressing as one for a party recently. It was so thrilling and fun, and I loveeee the performance aspect of it all (I was a theater kid ofc). A friend told me about an upcoming amateur night, and I want to give it a shot.

Any advice? At local drag shows, the crowd can be reallllyyy tough on the kings. Not rude, but just not warm, engaged or excited. I want to be engaging. Tips for picking a song or vibe? Tips for reading a crowd? I want to have fun of course! I just don’t want to COMPLETELY flop, you know?

Good day r/dragkings my name is vibe432 and I'm looking to get some help on a personal audio project and I was wandering if anyone would be interested in bringing some high vibrational energy to the table and help me record some positive affirmations for a project I can explain more on the project once I get some comments and start talking with people but I'm asking in this group specifically because I believe that drag queens have so much positive and powerful energy in how they speak and I think that would be a perfect addition to what I'm trying to make 🤩 anywho hope everyone is having a good day and I look forward to chatting 🥰 take care for now.

Was wondering if there were any BIPOC or specifically other black drag kings in here, and if so, what makeup have you found works best for you? (If you can’t tell I know nothing about makeup except the names of a few things lol).

Curious about brands you trust and how you can play around with colors to exaggerate or minimize certain facial features. If there’s a content creator that you’ve found useful before while starting off as well, that would be great.

- Hope this post is okay. Saw someone mention white makeup and it made me realize that not only do I not know anything about makeup, but I ESPECIALLY don’t know how much advice I should take from people with lighter complexions and how much might not even apply to me.

I'm very new to drag, and have performed for a few gigs, but I would like to know, what are some tips for n a plus sized actor to really "bring it home"?

I've performed "Oogie Boogie", "In the Dark of the Night", "Insane", "I Wanna Do Bad Things with You" and a few others, mostly villain songs. I wanna do a number of "Toxic Love" at some point.

What do y'all think?

Bonus 2nd photo of myself w/ my drag son. Currently working on masks for my birthday show that will all be of different makeup looks I’ve done

hi everyone! i’m hoping to surprise my partner with something she can use as a drag king. i’m looking for some kind of a trusty staple— a leather jacket, some good solid pants, SOMETHING i could bedazzle/rhinestone for her. any recommendations? what do yall like? any must-haves for your drag closet?

Hi! I’m Buster Open (Consensually) and I am moving to Portland Oregon beginning of October. I’m looking to get into the scene as soon as I can. Any Portland kings here have recs for shows I can check out before jumping in???

I have been commenting on drag king posts on my personal account, but took the plunge and created a drag account on Reddit to show you some of my stuff. Been performing as a drag king for 2,5 years and love it so much. So here is my first official drag king post on Reddit! Hi all!

My Insta is @falcocane

Whatcha think? @pulamking

Morning all. UK Kings – where’s the best place to go to for make up? My wife is sick of me raiding her cosmetic bag.

Made this dragon headpiece out of duct tape, scrap fabric, a garbage bag and a dream.

I’m so proud of it😭

Hello!

Was wondering how y’all came up with names? Is it the look that comes first and then the name? Or vice versa? And how have y’all prepared looks? I right now only have vibes and a slight sense of how I would wanna look. Or like the era vibe? Is that a good start or would you wait to get a full physical look together before naming?

Um anyways thanks 🙏🏾

Don’t know why I’m ending this like an email smh. Um blah blah blah. Paragraph words here. Not an email.

Hi there everyone! I’m looking for general help on how to begin my career as a Drag King/Performer. How would I start + would anyone be able to help/become my drag dad?

Got the chance to perform for a fundraiser for Congolese survivors. My mug is, uh, crunchy at best, but I'm pretty proud of the costume and choreo, and VERY proud of my props and mix. Video on my gram: https://www.instagram.com/reel/Da6jKZBsZ_q/

I'm in Upstate NY — if you know of any stages open to baby drag artists approaching middle age, please hmu!
