I'm a card carrying fag hag, and I don't blush about it. From my gay uncle who died last year, to very flaming queens or the butch bears, to peformance Drag Queens, I'm there. While I'm packing and preening this morning, I'm remembering all the tips I was given over the years by men who seem to know more about being women than women for some reason: 1) No good queen goes anywhere without the Drag Bag - costumes, false eyelashes, nails, lippy and other accoutrements. You never know when you'll need to make some last minute repairs to yourself or your costume, so be prepared. 2) Plan as if you're going to be in bed with someone that evening, so trim those nails, exfoliate, and shave above the knee. 3) Slutty may get you noticed, but only elegance will get respect. 4) If you're over 30, don't dress like you're under 20. If you're under 20, don't dress like you're over 30. 5) Gold lame only works on certain people - and chances are it isn't you, honey. 6) Any outfit is only as good as the shoes you wear with it. 7) Only drag queens can get away with bright blue eye shadow, darling...and that's because we expect to get laughed at. 8 ) There's a difference between smoky eyes and looking like you've been hit in the eyes with lumps of coal. When in doubt, less is more. 9 )Shower before you bathe, and moisturise before you dry off. 10) Confidence is the best parfum, makeup, outfit, and aphrodisiac. If you feel fabulous, you look fabulous - so never leave the house until you get to that point. |

please! dont stop at gold lame-- lycra and micro-mini's are fashion no-no's for most of the world too.
