Drag King Curiosity
 

:moonstars: I don't know if this is the place to come, I consider drag kings a performance art... but there are a LOT of forums and sub forums to sift through. I don't want this to get too serious!

I'm curious of your opinion, I'm a hardcore femme, swagger, skirts, heels and all. But the drag king world is something I've always been interested in. I recently dug up a photo of me from college, theatre stage makeup, and my favorite subject thorough the entire semester was the fake hair and beards. I had been looking forward to it since I'd signed up for the class.


I think it's a good go because I'm attracted to myself in this photo. Hehehe!

I'm wondering if it's at all possible for a femme to be a drag king or do you think it's just a butch dominated world? Am I less femme because it's something I think I'd enjoy? Are there any other femmes that ever toyed with the idea of being a King? And do the Butches find it less attractive in a woman who wants to cross dress as a King?

Questions? Comments? Concerns? Open to Discussion. ^_^

Do it!
 

I say do it cause it's something that appeals to you, lifes to short!!! I'll be a fan!!!

I think you look great! No you are not less femme and down on the butch who has a problem with it!

Go for it! I think femme drag kings sounds hot!

I think you should do whatever pleases you.
It's your form of expression and art --
You look gorgeous in the dress and HOT as a Drag King.

Do it and enjoy it. It will not make you "less femme", nor will it take away from your femininity.

:)

:moonstars: I think the hardest part of being a drag king might be getting the swagger down... my swag is SUPER femme, it's ALL in my hips. ^___^ Not that thats a bad thing. ;)

Do what makes you happy. It's the least you deserve in life ;)

-S

:moonstars: Right!? I think so too. ^_^ I used to do a LOT of acting in high school...and some in college... so it shouldn't be TOO hard... right? o.o I also have a lot of butch friends that have the swagger so I'll just make them teach me. ^__^

Also gotta get the binding thing down... I've got really awesome tits for a woman... not so great for drag. XD

The "swagger" as you say, comes natural. It's binding up my damn Double D's that's the hard part! LOL

By the way, Alpha, there is a VERY VERY popular Drag King Troupe in Boston called "All The Kings Men". It's how I got my start in dragging, winning their first ever Drag King Idol contest. Their main leader is very much a Femme and she pulls of fthe Drag n swag n femme perfectly. She is definitely a full fledge Femme outside of performance as well. She's the only femme in the troupe and rocks it out. Both on stage and off. You go girl!

A femme is capable of doing anything she wants! Butches Schmutzes, go for it and have fun! Please keep us posted.

its funny this has been brought up just now, for I have been thinking about this for myself. I am an older bodacious femme who packs. (gawd I love the way I am!) and I have in this past year, been breaking alot of personally placed boundaries. I have a friend who is a drag king...and he started me thinking. I would love to do some old timers..frank sinatra type cruisers.

dont be afraid to try anything. Its how we find ourselves. if we remain untapped, we can find ourselves wondering oneday if we are more like others wanted us to be, than who we really are....

U totally look hot! I say go for it!!
I started at 20 performing as a Diva, traveled all over and even worked as a show director. I enjoyed it beyond belief. If it's something u want to try, there's no harm in it! Enjoy!!!

Ur a cutie in drag and out! Why not go for it:)?!

Drag kings are just hot, period. *swoon*

I tried out binding for the first time two days ago, and it went really well! o.o

Aww thank you!

Now all I have to do is... pick a name, shopping (gonna hit up some good will and thrift shops) aaaaand pick, choreograph, and learn some songs. lol

Name I'm looking at is Alexander "Alex" Cash...?

Right now for songs I'm looking at more rock and heavy metal style stuff, like my favorite song on the planet is Teenage Dirtbag by Wheatus.^_^ As much as I wouldnt be able to take myself seriously... I think I could pull off a convincing Justin Beiber...

One of my fave people is a naturally beautiful woman who is also the sexiest drag king I have ever seen. Seems like you have have got the look going for you.

And, I have a song request (hoping it is keeping with your thoughts)---

"My Girlfriend's Girlfriend by Type O Negative ;)

:sparklyheart:

Oh, and don't forget to practice lip synch skills! I'm gettin carried away now. Dam, this is so much fun, I miss dragging so much!

Aww its okay! Geek all you want because I know I am, Kings are a world I've always been interested in since high school, but all the shows in my area are 21+ so I couldn't go until about 2 years ago... ^_^ I THINK my lip synching skills are above average... I'll have to videotape myself doing it to be sure...

And the name thing is true, my real middle name is Alexandra, and I've ALWAYS wanted to go by Alex. So my cocky alter ego can be Alex. I'm thinking either that sweetheart brings you flowers misunderstood punk guy who never gets the girl... or cocky ass mo'fo who gets tons of ass heavy metal dude... choices choices choices... hahaha!

I LOVE the name Alex!
My BFF is a top rated TONS of titles superb king. In my opinion, I would play up the sexy sweetheart misunderstood punk. U will be surprised at how people will fall for that :) The asshole is over rated and a bit tiring

Just my $.02

Yeah I like the first one better anyways, it meshes better with my personality so if I break character at any point it might not be as noticeable.

Hehe. If anyone cant tell, I used to be REALLY into theatre. ^_^

I like it and its totally up my alley!! But that might be waaaaay too out of my range, I don't look like my voice could even remotely do that I'm afraid.

Songs on my roster...

Teenage Dirtbag by Wheatus
Beating Heart Baby by Head Automatica
Harder Better Faster Stronger or One More Time by Daft Punk
The Arcade by Hyper Crush

They're all really awesome songs with voice ranges that I THINK would fit my look...? They're also that punk-geek misunderstood loverboy type songs. ^_^

LOOKS GREAT ALEX!

Aww thank you! Aaaand on that note I have a new contender for a drag name....

WAIT FOR IT...

James Addiction

I really like it. ^_^

Go for it Alpha! You make a hot drag king.

I never did any drag myself but dressed up in drag for halloween one year and it was fun so rock on with ya bad self!

Ooooo, I like it too!

:sparklyheart:
