If You Do The Drag, Please Be A Queen
I know a lot of people that do drag here in NYC. Some do it as their career, some to make a few bucks on the side, and some just for the fun of it. One thing I can say across the board is that any queen who is a friend of mine is fierce in one way or another.
They look flawless, read like a librarian, have quicker wit than any comedian you’ve ever seen, and rock out performances harder than any bitch in the pop scene right now. What bothers me more than ANYTHING is when I see queens take short cuts in their trade. It’s almost insulting to me just knowing how hard my girls work while these half assed queens roam the streets.
I understand if you’re new in the scene and need some time to polish up your look or your act, but give it all you’ve got. If your look is glam diva, give me the best glam diva you’ve got. If your look is androgynous boy in a dress, serve up the best shit you’ve got.
Since I haven’t done drag since my debut as Baby Spice in the 7th grade, I’m planning on making a comeback and doing it RIGHT! Learning from my leading ladies of drag in NYC, I’ve developed a few simple rules to follow when getting your drag on. I will not be a booger.
