Sure, everyone should do that at least one time in life.

I loved it early in life having to work as a male 5 days a week then finally 2 days to be myself. Love to dress nice/normal as a woman. Not strange looking just as a normal sexy woman & go to drag bars. On stage some but not much. I just liked to be myself & meet friends/men. New Orleans was fun sometimes.

Those were fun early days.

Rude.. Anyway, I am a drag queen and I have been performing since I was 17 years old sneaking into bars. I am turning 21 this month and I'm still going strong. Here in Hawaii the most beautiful transsexuals are pageant winning drag queens so i dont know about "scary" or "creeping me out". I started drag after transitioning and I love it. Drag queens can be the most genuine loving people or the most shady deceptive bitches haha. Drag queens are the unknown foundation of the gay social scene. We are the "mothers" of  gay men and we help to keep the gay bars in business and events alive and fun.

The money is good if you can brand yourself and perform with clean skill. I pass above and beyond during the day yet I continue to do drag as my contribution to the LGBIT community. It really feels like home and a place where trans women belong and are adored. If you have any questions feel free to msg me

Good for you, thanks for posting, you look great!

Never done drag myself.  It's never appealed to me.

I haven't but would love to try it just for a night,
it could be funny XD

Not exactly a drag queen, but I'd love to be a panto dame - such as one of the Ugly Sisters in Cinderella. I think it'd be a laugh.

If I was mistaken for a drag queen I wouldn't be bothered. I know who I am, and that's all that matters.

Honestly I love cross dressing and wish I could do it more.

You can get paid? How much? Sounds interesting. I could finance surgery with drag shows! Well that is if I don't get into the grad school I want to. But, not sound conceited, I will pass if I dress up like that and people won't think I am a man. People barely believe it now.

I did it.. Actually I did a Kylie Minogue show.. Dressed in a very similar outfit to one of hers. Blonde wig, stick on boobs. Oh, and heels - how I ever did that act in heels without ever falling off them still confounds me.

I have heard and known a couplegirls who did just that! worked it a couple years and the proceeds went to the op, but as for the original topic. no it never once was remotely apealing to me, I liked going to the shows but that was bout it.. and I did have 1 bad experience, which I wont go into.

Not prior to transitioning. We have a Drag party here in town every year. Once I pass 100% as male I think i'd enjoy dawning a dress and some makeup. A girl who is now actually  guy pretending to be a girl again. Sounds like a fun way to cause people headaches lol. Essentially I still really like how eye liner looks on me (I think most guys actually look lovely with eye liner, but then again i'm a huge fan of David Bowie) so I guess I would see it as an excuse to wear some makeup. Interesting question though.

crazy I know, but I did dragking once.


Also its a big misconception that no transsexuals do DQ.

When I lived in hawaii(many many years ago), ALOT of the DQ's were actually transsexuals.  Here in colorado, when I go down to Denver, there is a number of transsexuals that are DQ's.

I -love- dragqueens(and kings).  I love drag shows.  I think they are awesome.

Then in general, I love the GLBT scene.  If Im gonna goto a club, id much rather goto a gay club than a straight club.  If I goto a club its to dance (or watch the drag show).  The only other clubs I might hit up are punk/industrial/goth.  Mainstream culture just isnt my thing.

Sure it is   According to Wiki, Candis Cayne was doing drag before she became aware of herself

HELL NO

Drag queens creep me out

Was that really necessary...

ANYway,

I would crossplay at anime conventions before I started HRT, if that counts as 'drag queen'.  I didn't pass well, but I did end up signing up for a date auction.  Somebody bought me for ten dollars after an awkwardly long period of nobody bidding

never on stage.... is what i almost wrote, but then i remembered i actually did in high school. not the flashy type, just playing both male and female roles in shows that weren't only for the teacher. and i still sometimes dress in drag, one way or the other. it's a bit odd to define when it's drag or not when my gender tends to shift when i don't notice, but i do find myself in drag once in a while, some times even on purpose.

i did that in an irc chat once. everybody knew me as male apart for one guy whom i'd come out to as ftm/a. and then when some stranger joined the chat, we pretended i was a girl just for fun. made my friend feel really weird.

Long long ago I did one drag show up for a school thing.  For me it was sooooooo scary, and I played it too cisfeminine, which simply made it a bad deal all over.  What's funny is that now that I am post op, I found myself to where I thought I could be comfortable in a drag character at last.

That's great. Like I mentioned a bit I really still love how I look with eyeliner and eye shadow, in fact I think I like how I look with it on MORE now then I did before I began transitioning. But my heart swoons when I see a guy with eye makeup. Eddie Izzard, David Bowie, hell even Norman Reedus looks even hotter to me with eye make-up;


(did you hear that? That was my best attempt at a 'fanboy' squeak)

I actually feel more manly wearing some eye makeup. Of course it's not the norm, so I never do it outside of conventions or the privacy of my home (maybe one day at a gay bar too, we shall see!) but I do like it.
I feel like I put us a bit off topic, I'll go put on a dress and swing this conversation back to drag. 

guys with eye liner/shadow are hot

Been to a few shows, know some friends who have done it, one good friend who did it before she transitioned and now she is Post-op

I never even considered it
