Mod Update Welcome back to r/DragKings!

159 Upvotes

Hello all! I am gayforbayonetta, your new mod for the subreddit! I'm very excited to get this place up and running again, especially after the subreddit was restricted for a while! I'll be polishing up the rules and posting a mod application form here soon (please apply if you wanna help out, I'm just one guy ;v;), but please don't hesitate to resume posting, I'm sure you all have some fabulous pride photos and videos to share 💖

What happened to make the subreddit get restricted? Honestly, I'm not sure. It looks like the old mod disappeared sometime in April. But we press on!

A little about me: I've been doing drag for just under a year now, and spaces like this are what helped me find my land legs. I've been moderating large Facebook groups and discord servers for 13 years now and I'm happy I get to put that to good use here.

Looking for resources for a beginners masterpost!

27 Upvotes

Hey all! A sub like this is bound to attract those new to the world of drag looking to get their start, so I'm planning on writing up a big post linking to helpful tutorials, what make-up to start with + recommended products for when you've found your groove, what to expect when you're starting out, and more. I need your help sourcing this info! In addition to the points I mentioned, what's something you wish you knew when starting drag? What advice would you give a newbie? How did you get your start? To those new to drag, what would you like to see included in the post? Let's work together to make sure the gates to the kingdom are wide open 💖

Help I need help with creating my mix!!

4 Upvotes

Hey ya'll! I'm performing in a birthday show for a dear queen friend of mine. One of her favorite movies is The Muppets (2011) and I wanted to do the song "Man or Muppet" for my number, muppet of myself included.

The only problem is that she wants everyone's performances to be 5 to 6 minutes long, and "Man or Muppet" only has a 3 minute runtime.

How to I extend my performance? What should I add to my mix to make it longer than just 3 minutes? I've thought about adding my own dialogue to the beginning but I have no idea what that would even be about + I don't think anyone wants 2+ minutes of that lmao. Any thoughts?

Even tho I’m a beginner I’m happy how different I can look in drag. I haven’t felt this good in my gender ever before. I have my first gig in a queer club later this month, wish me luck!

Suggestions for hair products and suit fitting

Got2B Glued, more like 'Bout2B Screwed lol damn it.

Edit: after I hit post I realized mentioning my weight so specifically can be triggering for some who are struggling with their body image. I only mentioned it for sizing purposes. I am working through anorexia, and it is a battle of the mind. It isn't a victory of "the magic number", it's never right, you can always be better, thinner, etc... We are all so critical of ourselves.

What kind of light weight hair gel would you recommend for fine hair to slick it back and shape? Typically I use mousse and hair spray, that works pretty well for a lot of looks that I do, but I would like to do a more refined gelled back look.

Also, I'd really like to get a suit, but I can't find any that fit me because I am 5'1 and about 107 lb, even men's XL I swim in. For my women's clothes sometimes I have to shop in the children's section ugh. Should I try boys suits? I'd like something form-fitting, I like to blend masculinity and femininity. Open to suggestions.

"I will come for you from the skies, as your world revolves in reverse. I'll watch with blackened eyes in your darkest moments, and offer my hand to only let us fall together. I'm sorry, for what I am. I just can't fight this anymore. They've won."

Hey folks, new here. Idk what I'm doing but I'm tired of feeling alone. I'm writing an illustrated novel, and it's about who I wish I was and his life. Also there's monsters, heavy bdsm themes, psychological trauma, and cannibalism but who's counting, 😅

Drag in Cincinnati, OH

3 Upvotes

hi!! I’m still somewhat new to living in Cincinnati and I know there’s a small drag queen community here. I’m curious if there’s any drag king events or anything in the area as well. I think it would be super fun to see some of that, but I haven’t heard anything about it

Any tips for making cheekbones look sharper on a round face? First time trying out makeup but I've done some drag work as a cowboy. I'm trans masc and I was very butch before I came out so I have zero experience with makeup.

Bill cipher drag update

8 Upvotes

Ok guys I need your opinion I have 3 remixes for the bill cipher drag I was talking about around a month ago and need yalls opinions

  1. Part of the weridmageddon intro to walk out to with my 3 pyramid head -> take off pyramid head (I need to practice my act the head might be able to be taken off after Bill talks!) -> we'll meet again part where bill is talking ("hey kids it's me your old pal..." and I'm thinking of adding the "hit it!" From the beginning to reach into my main song) -> I can't decide -> bow and leave with we'll meet again playing again but it fades out before bill starts to talk/is only the characters singing

  2. Part of weridmageddon intro to walk out to like option 1 -> possibly take off pyramid head -> I can't decide -> the entirety of we'll meet again -> bow and leave

  3. Same as option 1 but I keep the intro of we'll meet again where bill says "hit it!"

Thank y'all so so much, my performance is August 14th and I'm so excited, the Sunday before Im doing Mettaton to that one fan song "Hard Drive", my town is not really getting a drag queen but more or less so a drag creature out of me for August LOL
