It's no secret, if I were a man, I would be a Drag Queen! Yes, you read it right, I said Drag Queen! I love Queens, the entire concept, the persona, the shows and especially the make-up! To be perfectly honest, I want to be a Queen right now! Now, I'm fully aware that Queens don't walk around on a daily basis in drag, at that point they'd be called a "Transvestite". Before we proceed, let me explain the difference, because baby, there is a HUGE difference.
Transvestite: a person and especially a male who adopts the dress and often the behavior typical of the opposite sex especially for purposes of emotional or sexual gratification —transvestite adjective Merriam-Webster's Medical Dictionary, © 2002 Merriam
Drag Queen: n. Slang
A man, especially a performer, who dresses as a woman.

Most Queens lead nomal everyday lives as a man, but as a performer they transform into a woman. Now, not your typical woman because that would be boring, but they transform into this larger than life, big hair, big boobs, big smile, big make-up, big personality woman. Here's the tricky part, I personally believe that some Queens are indeed transvestites, because some get breast inplants, etc. because essentially they desire to become a woman fulltime. There's nothing wrong with that, to each his own, but man 'o man, I would have HUGE conflict issues with the removal of my junk. Yeah, I got a little penis envy going on as well. Allow me to make a hard left real quick...........if I woke up with a penis and this is real talk, I'm calling into work! Not because I'm scared, nooooo, not at all, lol. I would try to use it before it disappeared or fell off.
Having said all of that, I was thinking this morning about what makes Drag Queens so special in my book. There is no pretense to them, they are who they are on that stage. They make no apologies about their characters, for some the more over the top the better, some are more subdued in character.....almost Southern in charm and mannerisms. I tend to like both, even the old washed up, fat ones who look like they are tired as hell, but still love to dress up and perform. The tranformation is really something to behold because many Queens look better than the average woman and certainly they know how to walk more gracefully than many women.......hell, even me!
I am so excited RuPaul's Drag Race Season 2 is coming back on in February 2010! I really need to stop thinking about it because I will go impatient waiting on the premiere and miss it all together. But, alas, knowing myself, I've already added it to my Blackberry, so it can alert me so I won't forget. That's kinda bad huh? If it is, hey, I don't care, lol. Anyway, I'm so into the Drag Queen way that I often find myself applying my makeup much like a Queen. Even before I knew about Drag Queens, I had a heavy hand when it came to makeup, and I like it like that. I remember years ago going to a Mary Kay party and the lady was "teaching" us how to cleanse our face, "rub this way, dab that way, upward strokes, blah, blah, blah" then came the make-up applique part (of course I perked up then), then she had a nerve to tell me "honey, less is more". Huh?!? Uhhhh, in who's world??? 'Cause in mine, "more is more is more is more and it's better!", now that's my philosophy. Now I'm not saying I apply so much that I look like a circus clown....nooooooo, but I apply enough to where I'm satisfied in what I see in the mirror. I like to wear my eye make-up heavy, light on the eye liner, heavy top liner, med-thick mascara, med blush, no foundation, med pressed powder and I like my lips glossy, shiny, pretty! I'm not against foundation, I use to wear it ALL the time, but now, it has to be a special occasion. I also use mascara on my eyebrows and a brow brush, confession: I've never had my eyebrows arched. I am so nervous about that process, I can just see it, my first experience and my brows are jacked up and I end up having to draw them on. To each his own, but I'm not into that surprised looked, I can't see myself with a liner drawing on my brows every morning, heck no!
I enjoy looking all girly, it's a huge turn on for me.......YES, I turn myself on, lol. But, it's also nice when I'm with someone and she compliments me on my make-up and we both look yummy. Another cool thing I like is when (I haven't experienced this lately but that's neither here nor there) my girl will tell me to get made up and we role play. Me: the Uppity, Stiff, Curious Female. Her: the Stud, strong, sexy, super sure of herself who has the agenda to turn me out. We went so far as to make an evening of the role-playing, meeting for a date, hanging out, getting to know one another then, me going to her place, just to talk some more lol and that first awkward kiss, then more kissing, so on and so forth. Me wondering how two women would have sex, her telling me that she would show me everything, me telling her not to mess up my make-up and hair. Me asking "what do you need that thing for?", her saying trust me you'll like it. Me asking "why are going down, ummm, please, ohhhh, oh my God is that your tou....ummmm, yes TAKE ME!
'Scuse me! Whew, let me look at the title to figure out what I was originally writing about! I don't know how I got off track, I was getting ready to make a phone call I had gotten caught up! Anyway, uh yeah, I like Drage Queens, I heart them a lot! Enough of that, I need to call somebody about something!
Until then, keep laughing, loving, living and learning!
