I wish I had lots of money to give to you for makeup/hair/clothes I love your artistic style and how different you are! And would love to see you in designer clothes/expensive things/expensive makeup! It's great watching you develop and I hope you rake in the moolah!! 💋💋

You are adorable! haha, I’d like to see me in those things too, however for now I guess I’ll be stuck in my cardboard and wire hanger fantasies.

Diserving

I sometimes feel we're doing a disservice to our lgbtq+ community and specifically within the drag circles with our obsession with references and "serving." Half the problem is that we do not have queer artists in enough of a mainstream frame to set examples and be our icons. The other is the need or desire to be real and blend within the society or fantasy of our straight counterparts that's not really faded from the ball scene and well lgbt shame in general.

When we look at Rupaul's drag race now which is supposed to highlight the very best in creative potentials from our community they still reduce every look, every performance into references and situations from straight lifestyle. 

The issue is that nowadays many of these artists from around the world are borrowing elements from straight culture that are originally borrowed from queer culture to start with.

Drag queens are "serving" lady gaga, Katy Perry, Nicki Minaj and outlandish things that originally come from our communities creativity anyway. Contemporary Halloween slutty costumes come from Britney Spears wearing the sexy school girl or Katy Perry wearing the gimmicky everything else which originally came from Burlesque, drag and underground acts. We now have drag queens channeling straight people and ideas that were already theirs within their community to claim for themselves.

Artists like Lady Gaga or Ana Matronic pay homage to queer culture and respect that's where they came from but the artists who had to struggle with the prejudice and paved the foundation for future generations of queer children are being cheated as the only mainstream success to come from their avante garde community they built is being had by straight people. 

Perhaps it is that we've not had an artist who backs enough talent to cross into the music industry. We have Adore Delano now who's album was alright, but apart from a few lgbtq+ platforms that's as far as her promotion goes. I'm certain we have drag and queer artists that back the talent but I don't know who they are and this is from someone within the community. How is it the last two gay pride anthems were recorded by Lady Gaga and Macklemore. 

Anyways, getting sidetracked, there's drag queens who will deliberately impersonate and reference straight woman and that's fine, but when I look at Adore Delano who has created/become this entity call herself "basically Lady Gaga with a penis" in interviews it's discrediting to her talents and creativity and she doesn't even realise it.

When one person pits or compares Beyonce against Rihanna, or Marina and Diamonds against Lana Del Rey or even the more obscure female artists than I can currently contemplate there will always be a fan and there will always be a gay person to jump down their throats and defend their originality. Let's have the same consideration for our own community and not give 800+ likes to the person who thinks Jinkx has ripped of Meryl Streep in her latest photo.
