Hi Frankie, being that I too live in the bible belt of MO I totally understand what you mean. I have known several Drag Kings who perform here and I personally loved that they could express themselves for who they are even though not everyone would treat them with respect and dignity.

I met my Sir who is FTM 2 years ago and have faded into the background of the gay community here as I did not feel acceptance from many of my lesbian friends. To me if you cant love me for who I am I dont have time to give you to make me feel bad about who I am.

I would be interested to know how performing has helped YOU in this community. Welcome to the Planet.

Becca

I've a friend from work who would perform drag. He always had the best time. Tried getting to go often... but being here, haven't exactly felt safe enough to go to clubs.

Btw, I'm MBE's other half.

I have friends back home in TX that did drag all the time and it helped them come to terms with their identities and how to best "pass." It also raised self esteem tremendously.

Time to get ready for work.

Well, I've been in Springfield since I was 16. I was first introduced to female impersonating at 18 and saw my first male impersonaters at 21 that were such inspirations to me I just had to try it. I did and I loved it!! I will admit there have been some times when I have contemplating giving it up, but it hasn't happened yet and nor do I EVER want to.

I enjoy the entertainers and am normally out at the Edge or Latin Vibe rooting for them. On April 1st I spent about 25 or so just on tips alone.

Why do you not feel safe here? Have you just not met many people that go or is it something else? I have been known to walk to and from the bar at times.

Gotta go time for hanging out with friends!

I was in my thirties before I saw my first Drag King. I was so psyched!
Thanks for your work and for all the fun I have had watching your "brothers"
Smooches,
Keri
