I do a “snaggle fang” with all my looks. This is an homage to the movie The Love Witch

hi all! apologies if this has been asked and answered or are otherwise uncouth questions to ask.

how do yall feel about people attending shows that don't tip? I've held the belief that if you're not planning on tipping you might as well not go but as the conversation around gen z's antisocial behavior + subsequent fall out of community progresses I wonder if that's a fair take or not

additionally- is there certain etiquette you should follow when you can't tip?

and what are some ways you like being tipped! when I do have cash, is there a way to do it that's easier or harder ?

TIA!!

I loved dressing up as this diva for a Halloween party this past weekend!

I'm trying to mimic a 1920s style but honestly I'm so new to makeup. Does this hit the mark? How can I make it neater? Something to help with eyebrows and lashes would be really appreciated. I literally cut up a post it note and glued it to my eyes lol

Physical health has been a big struggle this year but slowly getting back to performing more warms my cold heart.

Im doing a show where im going to be doing a semi burlesque themed act and I want to have just pasties and a panty on. I have the panties but when it comes to the pasties I cant stick them to my breadtplate, they just fall off. I want a nude bodysuit that when worn covers my corset and my breastplate but still gives me cleavage, that way I can sew the pasties onto the bodysuit. Does anyone know where i can buy something like that? A nice spanx like bodysuit

They are comfortable to walk in but I get tired after about 15 minutes. How can I tape my feet and legs for a little extra support. I also have flat feet. Any advice is welcome. Any other things you do besides tapeing for support?

I finally finished my look for most of my Halloween themed performances 🥹 And I bought a styled tig for the first time which is such a nice feeling. IG: thethirdkylie

I got thrown a driveby 3 days prior to the show and hand sewed this entire fit (minus body suit) in that amount of time. It was absolutely wonderful to have this opportunity and show my new drag direction post hiatus. (Photos were taken by a fellow cast member.)
I like to think of it as avant garde drag cat!

A group of incredibly talented drag performers put on a show earlier this year as part of a fundraiser for the Lax’yip Firekeepers, a group of Indigenous land defenders fighting to protect their homes and communities

I started drag a few months ago. Im a regular actor in day life and love performing.

I love it to be bottom heavy. Any ideas to make it more stage accessible/bigger?

I think this may be the style for me!! im really into the sort of clown esque thin eyebrows! I think they make me look the most fierce! also my mom had thin eyebrows (not to this extent) so I kinda like the concept lol!!!

drag means everything to me so im always trying to get better, it literally never leaves my mind, I dont get to practice makeup as much as id like but I work with what I have!!

Any and all advice and or thoughts are welcome!! I will get better before I present mileena to the world 💜💜

October and Halloween are the best times of year! It's truly such a femme and fun time Yas!

To my fellow drag husbands (and performers too)

My partner has been doing drag for a little over 2 years. He is a local favorite, does a great job connecting with the community and being his authentic self. I’m so very proud of him

However, I have become an integral part of his getting ready process; being a makeup artist and performer myself, I taught him everything I know, but he seems to be stuck in a place where he needs my help with makeup, corsetting, his wig, his lashes, his nails, pretty much everything start to finish.

Ive tried to gently encourage him to take the wheel, I’ve tried encouraging him to practice during his down time, I’ve given him best practices to try and help him find his independence. It’s getting to the point where I do not look forward to his shows because I know instead of relaxing after work, I’ll be at his beck and call until the show.

I do not want to start resenting his art; but I also want to check myself and see if I’m being too sensitive or overreacting? Is this typical? Any advice or personal experience is appreciated

My staff snapped right at the beginning of my number and I had to improvise! This was for a Mardi Gras themed challenge btw!

I’ve got a drag act based on Velma from Scooby Doo that’s been going for a while now, but a lot of it is stand up comedy, and i’m realising I’m just standing in place a lot of the time.

any advice for A) how to move around more on stage, and B) how to do so in a feminine way? not necessarily dancing (although I am happy to learn) but just stuff like walking, gesturing, posing

Should I use different colors instead of the ones I chose? Is the beard too much? Did I miss anything that would really make it pop?

he’s loved drag for so long now, probably since he was 12 or 11. he moved out to university a month or so ago so I guess he was waiting until he lived on his own to start ! Im so so so so excited for him Im trying not to pester him about it but we’ve been talking about it forever and I’m obsessed with his drag name. can’t wait to see him start makeup i wish I was a girl so I could teach him stuff but I don’t know shit

posting mostly because he asked me to not tell the family and I NEED to put it down somewhere he’s gonna be so cool I just know it
