Currently...

So, the life of a drag queen (at the moment) kinda is, pun inteded, a bit of a drag. BUT there's more to life than being a drag queen.

I mean, there's a certain reputation that a drag queen has. This involves two things:

1. In most cases being a drag. Easily done.

2. Being a queen. Not easy.

Being a queen in a world full of commoners really blows, but that's just the way it is. I mean no matter what happens in life, someone will always want to walk your runway, but in the end, you are the top model, because nobody voted for you. you busted your ass working the moves, walking the walk, taking the flack and jumping in and out of dress sizes just to work lifes runway.

Everyone should live life like a queen. Or a peacock. Maybe a Peacock Queen! That would rock. you look glamorous and are royalty.

Your friends, as you wander into being a drag queen or test the waters, to coin a phrase, are your equals, they are not servants, they are not peasants, and they are not slaves. That's what underlings are for, if and when you get them.

No, in life, you have to fight! You are warrior queen! You are a fierce force to be worshipped, loved by many, and not to mention have great thighs and have natural highlights! :)
In this life, you can't let anything get you down, because there are wolves, vultures, and yes EVEN hyenas! They will not take you to dinner, they will not go out for drinks. NO! They will EAT you alive!!

And the kicker is, they are everywhere and they'll be waiting. Oh, they will be waiting. When you finally plummet to your to your ultimate low, the lowest basic instint... they'll be all over your ass, because they are a bunch of gang bangers that what they are! NO! This is not beastiality ladies and gentlemen, this is man-on-man or woman-on-woman [take your pick] dog-eat-dog world out there!

The only chance of survival is... absolutely nothing!

Now, soldiers, at ease, because I just totally lost my point. So go back to your lives and just have fun! And for those of you about to rock, I salute you. *salutes*

Until next time, folks!

Fabu-Tastic Icons

I've yet to write anything about drag icons and my own personal infulences. So depending on how long this takes this is dedicated to the fabulous "women" of drag!

So these lovely ladies are my influences as well as just plain fantastic. The majority of these ladies can be googled...

RuPaul: Host of RuPaul's Dragrace (as seen on tv), star of Starrbooty, and singer of Supermodel
She influences my love of interesting as well as high fashion. She also fuels my passion and love for life. Live as who you are and don't let anyone tell you how you should live or who you should love. Okay so I'm inspired by the immortal words of Jerry Herman, "I am what I am"... Like Ru, I myself have a signature laugh... well mine's more of a cackle.

Lady Bunny: Hostess, M.C. and Fashion Critic for the ragmags... as well as guest star in gay cinema. She inspires my crass sense of humor and word play. She's blunt, she honest, and she's fierce. Always has fabulously huge blond wigs that also inspire to be proud of my roots... my natural roots. I like to be naughty just as much as she does.

Tyra Banks: Host of the Tyra Banks show and supermodel
She has energy, she has fans, and she's a... real woman? Yup, she is, but her energy and enthusiam (as well as a huge supporter of the LGBT community). I recently saw the episode where she talked to Isis, the first transgender contestant on America's Next Top Model. Fantastic episode to be proud of who you are and that work and enginuity can pay off in the long run. Sometimes having fun means being crazy fun, Tyra is everything like that and more.

Amanda Lepore: (not sure what she's famous for, but) supermodel (i'm sure!)
Glamorous! A no-holds-bar babe. Transgenderified into the busty blond that we all know and love. (i say that because i've seen her in person before, crazy!) She inspires my need to be fabulous and glamorous... at all times! And to get professional photos of myself so I can promote myself as a drag star! ^_^

And of course...

Dame Edna: Australian Comedienne
The only lady that I have seen with naturally (she says) purple hair... no, not purple, lavender. From her fantastic trusso of costumes to her accent to her perfectly coiffed hair she is a lady... a lady I myself would love emulate when i walk out on stage. A marvellous sense of humor and such a character, I personally hope that I get to meet her before I can't.

So these are the ladies that have inspired me to be the lady that I am. Everyone has to have some kind of influence or idol. These ladies are a few of the fantastic ones that I have. Without them around I don't anyone in the world would be who they are without them.

In the end, you could say I'm a passionate, naughty, funny/energetic, glamorous, lady-like drag queen.

That's it for this exciting adventure into self-discovery. Until Next time!

Updates: New Beginnings, New Shows, New Job

So a lot has happened since my last post.

First of all a group of friends and some old teachers of mine planned on doing a show! I was invited to do a role. Unfortunately it's a straight male role, but it's a fun straight male role, so I'm not too disappointed. The show is Urinetown and it's a hillirious Broadway show. I suggest you all Youtube it. It's got complicated chorus bits.

I got a new job at an ice cream store. The place is called Sweet Tooth and its nestled in the center of our small down town. It's cute and I've only had two shifts. A funny story, I couldn't scoop properly until the second day; since after my first shift I was panicing: I wasn't doing it right, I'm failing big time, I'm not learning fast enough, WOW, this bites the big one... etc. So far I've only had a couple of training shifts which were weirdly calm and stressful at the time, which I'm not stranger to, honestly I'm an odd zen-like person.

As for new beginnings, I've found someone that I'd like to be dating, but deep down something in me doesn't want to start something. More on that later. But he's nice, genuine, inviting... and appealing despite what some people may seem. Honestly his picture don't do him any justice. He has a wicked sense of humour, which i admire greatly.

Sometimes though I don't know if my feelings are purely love, or lust. I mean the majority of my relationships are purely sex-based. I mean a man can be the most beautiful man in the world... and I either totally blow it by sounding desperate or not sounding interested enough. I really just don't understand how relationships go. But DO we understand how relationships work? Or is it just some huge delusion of something we feel (men mostly) in our pelvises that makes us think it's love, but once we satisfy it, all it is is just one big messy affair? Or maybe it's just simple, and I'm over analyzing. I have done that a lot. I think that's the downfall of my relationships... and lack of communication. I think I'm giving him space, but then he likes it when I talk to him... Men are complicated sons of bitches.

More updates are soon to follow, but as a wind up to this one: I'm in a show that has to do with peeing, I'm hopefully going to be working full time this summer, AND I may be starting a relationship, but I'm not holding out for anything. Oh! and I almost forgot that I haven't heard anything from university, wether or not I'm in or out of second year. That's just the cherry on top of a beautiful beginning to summer. YAY! O_o *twitch*

Until next time...
