I REALLY WANNA MAKE THIS ALL DRAG THEMED SO HERE WE GO LOL
1. I’M GOING TO DRAG CON 2017 YES GAWD
2. My favorite local (Chicago), non-RPDR queens so far are Trannika, Kahmora Hall, Chamilla Foxx, Nico, and Valentine. If you’ve got a scene nearby, wherever you live, and you’re legal? GO SEE LIVE DRAG. Don’t wait for RPDR to find your faves for you. FUCKING GO RIGHT NOW
3. The first queen to Like something of mine on social media was Courtney, and I’m not gonna lie, I rode that hype for like a week lmao. She’s one of my all-time favorites, I couldn’t help but freak out about it! /)u(\ but I’m usually decent at being chill on the outside, lol
4. I learned to make GIFs because I wanted to start this blog
5. I’ve met 22(?!) of the “Ru girls,” and every one of them has been wonderful and memorable in their own way. And it has meant so much to be able to tell them how much I love and appreciate what they do, and to see their gigs in person, because they’re all so much more than could ever be portrayed on the show. I mean, I liked Violet, but I wasn’t OMG I Love Violet Chachki So Fucking Much I Want To Scream until I met her and saw her perform. Drag is bigger, older, and more interesting than what goes down on Drag Race and it’ll certainly be around once the show isn’t.
6. When I’m looking for new drag blogs to follow, I pull a 180 and GTFO the second I see any Phi Phi hate. Same went for Alaska hate during that dumb ass snake debacle, girl bye
7. I bought a pair of heeled, thigh-high boots before Willam’s book signing because I REFUSED to meet The Shoe Queen in flats and I didn’t have any other heels fierce enough. I LIKE TO DRESS FOR THE PARTY, OKAY
8. I got lowkey emotional on the flight back from Provincetown this summer because RuPaul’s “Fly Tonight” came on right before I landed and it had been such a whirlwind 48 hour trip and I’d met 3 of my favorite queens and it was my first completely solo trip staying in a new city alone and it’d been such a last minute, just-right-circumstances kind of thing, and it was all too perfect and too much and I couldn’t believe that weekend happened. Still can’t.
9. Because I’m that bitch who would probably get rattlesnake noises edited on her, because I sometimes say things that I can’t tell could be taken as shady because I’m trying to be sincere, I told Roxxxy “I went into your season knowing the Jinkx Monsoon thing went down, and being a big fan of Jinkx... and I still liked you anyway!” And Roxxxy laughed and said she was happy to hear that, but Alaska, next to us, just fucking screamed and started cackling
10. The very first queen I met was Katya and I will never, ever forget it because I have stitched that series of interactions into my brain so tightly that they might as well be new nerve endings
11. I started watching Drag Race in April, went to BOTS in June, and my entire approach to life and creativity and my own femininity has been completely different ever since
I’m tagging @restingpearlface, @biginamills, @musicboxbunny, @queenchachki, @tuckbusters, @theartificialdane, and I know that’s not 11 people lol
