There are lots of misconceptions about drag too. At its core, drag is about energy, fearless gender expression, and taking centre-stage in front of an amazingly supportive community. Has RuPaul inspired you? Give it a go!
Pros:
- Social: you’ll make new friends
- Boosts your self-confidence
- Escapism
- It’s fun
- Entertain friends and family
- You could be star of the show!
- You’ll have great fun coming up with outfits and stage names
Cons:
- Quite daunting at first
- Can take a long time to get ready!
- You’ll need to learn how to use tucking tape
- Can be expensive (costumes, jewellery, travel)
- You need to not mind being centre of attention
- Introverts beware!
