IDKE EEEEEEEEEEE!!!
OMG the International Drag King Extravaganza has hit Tucson! It was so amazing and inspirational. Drag King Aidan Justus convinced me to perform, so Damien Chase hit the stage with a punk cover of 500 Miles. My partner made me a kilt out of an old pair of cargo shorts and I made a shirt that says, "Mom, Dad, I'm Gaelic." I also rocked a mohawk with lines in the side. I look kinda bada$$ and adorable at the same time. lol. I'm not sure how good all the other performers thought it was, but my friends liked it and it felt awesome to perform again. I think I might try to hook up with one of the troupes in town and do it some more. Something interesting is that my drag numbers seem to all turn out pretty masculine and I'm a pretty femmey guy in real life. I guess that's why it's performance, but I would like to do some more prancy gender-bendy pieces sometime. I don't want to do the same thing every time. The workshops and stuff were cool too and I have a bit of a boi crush on Jac Stringer (aka Jac McFaggin'). The purple/pink hair and the sparkly cons make me swoon. There were so many gorgeous people there. I'm a bit sad IDKE is over now, but at least I can finally get a good night's sleep =:-)
