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...

OUTreach Drag Show

Image
Two weeks, two performances. To see my first ever drag performance check out my previous post HERE .   While that will always be an important moment for me, my second performance sits very close to my heart as well. <3 OUTreach at the University of Alberta  is a student organization in Edmonton providing LGBTQ+ resources, events, socials, and community on campus (check them out, they're amazing!). Every year (for the past 14 years) they put on an amazing drag show to showcase not only local talent, but also amateurs wanting to put on their first performances. But why is this so important to me??? Why because OUTreach gave me my FIRST EVER drag show back in 2015, and that was where I first realized I wanted to do drag. Oddly enough, it was also my first time seeing a future boyfriend in drag, and his was one of my favourites of the night. It did help though that he performed the incomparable Christina Aguilera, as even if the performance had sucked I would still have ...

My First Performance

Image
I am so pleased with my first performance! I wanted to showcase the multiple personalities of my drag character, and I think I did that with Greedy and Papi, two songs sung by incredibly talented ladies.  I also may have showcased just a little bit more skin than some, but hey, if you've got it flaunt it! Check out the video on youtube by Dragging Our Heels linked below: Rowena Whey - Greedy Thank-you to everyone who came out to support me and all of the other amazing queens who performed last night at the Sunday Review. I can't wait to show more of what I have to offer!

Step #11: Lashes and Lips

Image
Lashes Yay lashes! With every flutter you cause a hurricane across the world because of the damn sheer size! The number or volume of lashes you choose is again, up to you. If you haven’t noticed a trend by now of CHOICE, then you haven’t been paying attention, and I recommend going back and rereading my endless squabbling. To start, curl your natural lashes, and apply mascara. You don’t want to have light lashes peeking out of your solid black falsies. A nice trick from Mathu Andersen (makeup artist to the stars): when applying mascara, use a wet sponge behind the eyelashes to prevent mascara from getting on your face. This goes for your initial application on your eyelashes, and on your falsies. Before you consider applying your false lashes, make sure they are trimmed to the correct size for your eye, and length for your desired look.   Now apply eyelash glue to the seam of the lashes, and wait ~30 seconds for the glue to get tacky (sticky to touch). You can spee...

Step #10: Eyes

Image
Hello Queens!! This will be an interesting one, as I am not going to tell you what to do!!! I know!!! It's a shock, and I almost died 😲. I love being bossy!! But this is your chance to REALLY have fun with your makeup. There are a few hints I’ll give for people with eyes like mine, but honestly, there are so many ways to do eye makeup, so many techniques that I am only just learning, so many new techniques being introduced, that I couldn’t even begin to try to start an eye tutorial.   My advice: Play In the words of Trixie Mattel: “The eyes are the window to the hole”.   No lie. When that gorgeous man looks into my eyes across the dance floor he may as well already be there.  But seriously,  t he eyes take longer than any other part of your face, and are the easiest to mess up.   They are also the most important part of your face in terms of looking good in your makeup. If you mess up your eyes, you may as well just put it all away, unless your goal is...
