@imogen4535

Tbh I agree with what Landon Cider said about integrating Drag Kings with the Queens in a show like RPDR which would reflect real life queer scenes where both perform together anyway

“Don’t be jealous, petty and abusive towards other drag queens. You are not there to compare and contrast you are there to learn, encourage and support each other. Find your own drag identity and be supportive of other queens finding theirs!”

Mine to add: Never EVER assume because you saw drag queens have a disagreement think it’s appropriate to try to forge a relationship by talking sh*t to one of them. If they’re sisters, it’s a very tight bond. Never base your whole opinion about someone’s art off their appearance on a televised reality show. Do your research! Credit those who helped you, even if it was just a small gesture.

Trixie has excellent advice for understanding your expectations and setting yourself up for the best possible time. I remember hearing how she had business cards for herself early on, and her most frequently mentioned, "I had to make my own opportunities." This is such a great quick crash course for any level/aim of any endeavor!

Thank you Trixie, me being an amateur drag queen is so hard and this is such clarity without someone to tell me that I'm going to straight up fail but it will/can get better is such nice clarity.

I'm lucky to have a group of local Queen's who ask me every so often to do a show. I'm even developing a King character to try out. I've loved drag my whole life and it's my favorite creative outlet.

SAAAAME.

Yes, yes, so much yes in this video! I've been performing for more than 2 decades and show directing almost as long, and so much of this is absolutely what I tell prospective new performers! I don't care how talented someone is, if they are rude or cause problems I simply don't book them. When newbies ask me for advice, I tell them that the biggest thing to remember is that the only thing better than being invited to perform somewhere, is being invited BACK! Be nice, have fun, and calm the eff down - it's just crossdressing, Mary!

I've always been a supporter of drag, I love how much artistry goes into it. I first encountered drag in person at Hamburger Mary's in Milwaukee ( where I'm from) it's such a shame it doesn't exist anymore but if you live in a big city... Literally just walking down the street in drag will catch people's attention. I look for Trixie every time I'm back in town... Just hoping that I'll see her somewhere. I think another great tip would be that you're going to get negative feedback no matter who you are. There's gunna be people that hate on you, turn that hate into more fierce energy cuz guess what? Haters usually are just sad, miserable people that will never have the courage to do what you do. Develop a thick skin. Just really try to focus on the people who love you and support your art. 💖

Trixie!! It’s like you’re in my head - I’ve been doing drag for 8/9 years now and I couldn’t agree more with everything you said. Thank you so much ❤️

I’m a woman and I don’t plan on doing drag exactly, but I do plan on performing on stage and being glamorous so this did help.

This affirmed my current knowledge of drag and I can’t express the appreciate I have for videos like this! I’ve been doing costuming for over 10 years and only recently gained the confidence to pursue drag without worry of what my ppl thought of me. After 3 years of trying to figure out what I wanted to do and gain from drag I began making my drag character a reality by attending drag shows in fun outfits and makeup, more clubkid than drag, and was able to connect with artists there. During [Pride] events I went in full drag and made even more connections! Trixie covers the beginnings, appreciations, and hardships of starting a little drag career/hobby well. I hope whoever is taking drag into consideration enjoys this video as much as I did

I'm not going into drag but so many of the tips you provided are great for new entrepreneurs! I will be employing as many of these tips as possible. Much love and many thanks to you, Tracy Martel! 💖💖💖

This was so fun to watch. Also, I know you look back and cringe sometimes, but I always loved performing with you because you were so visually striking and your comedic numbers were always showstoppers. You had star power from the jump bb 💖💖💖

You’re a sweetheart for doing this. Etiquette anywhere you are is super important in building a strong network of people who will hire you again and again!

It’s been such an uprise of queens actually giving baby queens tips! And I love it!

The “Shaneeda” comment made me LOL. There are SO many Shaneeda’s in this world. In AND out of drag!

I probably spent as much time getting ready as I did actually in the club! I have a huge amount of respect for those who do it regularly, but it's way too much for me.
