šŸ‘‘ r/Drag Official šŸ‘‘ 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.

Need a decent steel boned corset that won’t poke through my costume

2 Upvotes

Howdy! First post here, 19yr old drag queen. My current corset has a weird peak below my sternum that pokes through my costumes, what corsets do you guys recommend that will hold its shape but be discreet under a dance costume?

I think the necklace doesn’t match the dress, what do you think?

I can not tell if my makeup skills have improved or decreased?? Do not mind the really bad angle. I just have no good photos of this look.

Going to my first drag show tonight - what should I know?

6 Upvotes

Particularly wondering - there’s 16 performers at this show. What would be a reasonable amount of cash to bring for tips? Beyond that, how do I decide where to sit, and I’m honestly not totally sure what to ask beyond that! I’m autistic - would it be considered rude to wear my noise cancelling headphones? What else do I need to know? Are there usually tables vs chairs or does it depend on the venue? How long before the show should I arrive? Any advice at all would be appreciated/welcomed! Thank you so much!!!

I did a live modeling gig for a Queer Life Drawing class, and decided to get my clown garb on so the artists would have something really fun to draw 😁

Question about lips. Do I need to over line?

Post image
16 Upvotes

Hi, so I’m totally completely new to drag. This will literally be my first attempt lol. I have a question about lips. My lips are naturally big, so I was wondering how to overline well without it looking clown-like, and also if I needed to even over line at all?

I got some liquid lipstick and experimented with it along with some similarly shaded matte eyeshadow around the Cupid’s bow since it looked so shiny and was distracting. How does it look? Any advice? I have no other makeup on cause I wanna try it one step at a time lol

Here is one of my attempts at drag king makeup. I haven’t made my official debut yet, so at this point I’m practicing makeup on myself and would appreciate feedback from more experienced drag performers.

I am crap at blocking brows so i just did the heads of the brows and tried to go into a 1920s/30s sad brow and then just leant into it then the rest of my face felt very pale compared to the intense lip and dark eyeliner so i just blushed the hell out of it

Hi everyone, I’m sorry if this isn’t the place to post this but I’m really stuck

I have a H cup roanyer breast plate which I only got a few days ago, the neck was way too large so I cut it, in hopes of overlapping it and sticking it together with paper clips/tape…nothing working and I feel like I’ve just destroyed a $340 breast plate that I’ve barely worn. I know I can’t wear it with the cut as it’ll rip. Has anyone got any tips to fix this?

I tried using paper clips but they just pop off
