Question

How can I be a drag queen without being gay?

Community Answer

The great thing about drag is that it's a place to bend the "rules" of gender and sexuality, so change whatever traditional drag elements you don't like and make it your own.

Question

What's better, high heel's or flat's as a beginner drag queen?

Community Answer

Start off with short heels, and as you gain more confidence/balance move up to higher ones. High heels always add more of a wow factor

How do I bind a chest as a drag king?

Hithereitsme

Community Answer

Buy a binder off the internet. Never use tape or bandages because they can be dangerous and uncomfortable.

How old do I have to be to perform?

To perform in bars, you have to be at least 18. There are youth nights at some bars, and there might also be LGBT organizations near you that host youth drag shows.

Question

Where can I buy make up, wigs and dresses?

Kari Miller

Community Answer

There are plenty of places online where you can buy wigs. The cost will depend on if the hair is real or fake, the length, etc. If you are getting wigs online, just read the reviews. I personally think it is better to buy dresses in person so you can make sure it fits well without having to go through the hassle of exchanging it.
