Drag is a legitimate form of gender expression.  I see no problem with doing it.

We have some pre- and post-op members who do/have done exotic dancing too.  It pays the bills.

The more masculine your body is, the more likely it is you'll have a successful career. That's at least what I've gathered from the drag community.

It kinda makes sense if you think about it. If you get a 6' drag queen with broad shoulders that looks female, people get entertainment. If you get a short, petite transsexual that nobody can believe is a "guy", you get disbelief.
To dream of the person you would like to be is to waste the person you are.

I don't see anything wrong with it. I agree with Alainaluvsu about being the more masculine relates to more success. Look at how famous Rue Paul was for a while.

I think you'll be OK without the rythem. Dancing skills is the last thing on poeple's minds when they're watching exotic dancers.

I know there's one type of pole I'd like to dance with, but sadly, I don't have the right equipment.  >:(

I dont see anything wrong with it and a great way to make money. In Thailand they have these great Drag Shows (Katoey Shows) with post and pre op, some are fab looking and other play on their manly looks and are the comedians. Thai men love Katoeys and being a Buddist country there is no stigma attached. Be careful as this may not be the case in other countries.

Go for it yeh
When we first start our journey the perception and moral values all dramatically change in wonderment. As we evolve further it all becomes normal again but the journey has changed us forever.

I've thought about it, but not for money. I figure there's not a person on this planet that knows more about how to feminize the male body than a drag queen. I'd consider it a great learning experience.

I don't see anything wrong with it, but I wouldn't do it. I'd rather be perceived as a woman than a man dressing up. Of course the makeup style would change for the show vs real life, but I don't want to keep the masculinity if at all possible.

I did performances for years



drag queens have forgotten more about makeup and low dollar passing techniques then any 20 CIS women put together. I learned so much from them. just be careful and don't get sucked into the drama that goes along with it a lot of queens view this as their job and career not just something for fun.

Care to share? I could use all the low dollar passing techniques I can find.

For instance....

1. Use orange lipstick as a beard cover then blend over with your foundation it will last all day
2. Hair spray all over face will help stop makeup from running when you sweat.
3. Duct tape will give you amazing cleavage.
4. most queens wear who don't shave their legs will wear 3 to 4 pairs of nude hose and it covers well
5. always at least 3 gridels, 1st one a size smaller then actually needed IE if you wear a large use a medium for first,2nd will be normal size,and last one will be normal but put on backwards(doing this plumps up butt to make look bigger and fuller)
6. Cover girl does not cover guy (one of their classic sayings) always use pan stick,or grease paint from costume store for stage nothing with any SPF in it cause it will turn green under stage lights and u will have a green face.
7. on non stage outings only 6 layer, moisturizer,foundation,contour,eyes,lips.blush a lot more steps for stage
8. shop at goodwill
9. Any piece of jewelry can be an earring with enough super glue
10. fake eyelashes are a must(I HATE THEM)


this is my drag mom :-) she is 98% deaf and does not have hearing aids in when performing she keeps track of the music by the bass.




soooo much more I cant even list all any questions just let me know.

I haven't performed in well over a year and miss it soo much. I am getting the bug again and think I might want to do a Diva show sometime soon. Female performers who dress in drag are considered Divas and in my opinion that is the way to start presenting yourself then you wont get the queen stigma. I quit performing cause people would see me out and say OO do you have show, why are you in drag today? ect.....

lol Have good friend Jackson Heights NY who stages drag shows all the time in the gay community but, the prob with that, is they just don't 'make money' it's usually done for Prizes !!!!

(was once 'guest of honor' for 'coming out' party but I was on stage NOT  ??? )

Most drag queens are pre-op and do NOT want to be women !!!

( Eddie's Facebook page - there is always something going on either here or in Columbia lol if ya like 'guy bodies' this is the place they've always been very supportive of 'trans' unlike 'feminists'!!)
