It’s honestly so much fun, even if it is as simple as slapping on a moustache. My sisters and I used to go around wearing fake staches all of the time. I even named my burlesque troupe Burlesque Le’ Moustache!
Of course, just like with everything else there are myriad opinions about drag. Some people love it, some people think it’s an abomination. Some people think that you can’t have any other gender expression than a cis-gendered man to be truly doing drag. Even the most famous Drag Queen herself, RuPaul, has gotten in trouble for not allowing trans women and cis-women to compete on the show. Things have obviously since changed and a number of trans-women have competed. For me, if you say you’re doing drag then that’s all I need to know! I don’t care about who you are in your day to day to know that if you’re creatively expressing yourself it’s not for me to say you aren’t. If you’re a woman and you get all dolled up as a woman and tell me you’re doing drag, that’s right you sure are. If you’re a man and put glitter in your beard and dress up like a space alien, i love that drag too!
So many people take themselves too damn SERIOUSLY!! But the truth is, we’re not going to make it out of this world alive so just enjoy yourself and be kind to others. Lead with love 💕
Have you ever wanted to get in drag? Have you ever gone through with it? What’s stopping you from trying? Please feel free to explain.

Yes, I understand. Some people are performers and some people enjoy the performance. Both are necessary. 🤗

No I haven't 😉, but I do have friends that drag. Both men and women, I also have a good friend who's trans. So I guess that I would consider it. Lol

Have you considered doing a drag king show alongside Sylas? I would like to see that. ♥️ I have not done nor considered doing drag. Mostly because I’m not particularly comfortable being the focus of attention in large groups. I might consider trying it if the circumstances are right, though. I do have a drag Queen friend who tried out for Drag Race the first couple seasons. I haven’t had the opportunity to see her perform live, unfortunately.
