Preparation

The first stage of the drag transformation, is all about the preparation.  While this isn't the flashy part, or even the most exciting part, for me this is one of the most fun parts. I really love getting ready, whether it be going shopping, picking outfits, working on the the little details that will make my presentation and performance better!

 I will update this list as I go, but here are the links to the posts for each of the preparation steps:

 Step #1: Realize you want to do drag

 Step #2: PLAN!!!

 Step #3: Get in loser we're going shopping

 Step #4: Get your hair did

 Step #5: The sex is in the heel

 Step #6: The clothes & the body

 Step #7: Prepping your body and face

 Step #13: Tucking

Step #13: Tucking

Image
Ugh. This is the one part of drag I won't ever understand. Yes, men are able to put away their dangly bits and imitate women, but WHY!?!?!?!?!? It's not comfortable, it's not good for you, and honestly, it would be so much easier just to be a lady with a bulge. In any case, below is a discussion of tucking, both technical and not, to be as tight as possible. You can tuck without tape, and it's essentially the same procedure just with a gaff (special underwear) instead of tape, but your tuck is definitely not as tight. For a nice, tight tuck, read on wannabe ladies. Reader Warning: some of the visualizations/discussion below are not altogether PG. Probably more R rated. Be warned. And here we go: Okay. Tucking is the process through which a man puts his balls up into his abdomen, and pulls his dick into his ass crack to give the appearance of having a vagina instead of a penis. The testicles, when descending as a child, exit the abdomen through the inguinal ca

Step #6: The clothes & the body

In reality these two steps should be reversed: the body & the clothes, but if you're like me (you know, shopping addiction), you can fit your body to the outfit if you really need to. SHOPPING FOR WOMEN'S CLOTHES I know a few drag queens who refuse to try on women’s clothing in stores, and I understand. It never fits quite like it will when you have your body done up, and your hair did, and your face transformed into its look. There’s also the baseline awkwardness and social stigma against men who dress as women. While I hope this goes away, it is still present, and some queens try their best to avoid those situations that promote it. However, I am not like those queens. I take no shame in trying on women’s clothing at a store, despite all the side-eyes and full comments I get from people, especially women, who see me perusing the aisles of the women’s discount sections at Winners and Value Village.  The other day I was looking for an evening gown to wear t

Hip Pads

So, as you may have realized by now, either through my discussions or watching my performances on dragging our heels , Rowena Whey is very confident in her body. Aka, she likes to show skin, and to do this requires not wearing tights! This also means I never wear hip pads. In fact, I don't own any. While I enjoy the freedom of an uncovered leg and ass, I can't always rely on that body-ody-ody.  This past week I decided to take a new step in my drag adventure and experiment with some new (to me) outfits and shapes. Cue my hip-pad creating adventure: 1. Buy foam. Begin the Walmart search for a suitable mattress cover that could double as my foam source. I ended up going with a memory foam pillow, cause Rowena is a classy hoe, and having technologically advanced hip pads sounds right up her alley. 2. Cut said pillow in half to make two 2-inch blocks of foam 3. Made a stencil of my hips and ass. So I half-assed this (pun intended). I did not create a stencil for enlarging
