perfect there we go
hey welcome back to my youtube channel I
know it's been a minute since I last
made a video but uh your boy is back and
I appreciate you and I love you
[Music]
okay
so it's been a minute since I last made
a youtube video but I'm back I'm here
and if you're watching this I'm glad
you're here - that means you
stuck it out for a few months with
nothing but I'm gonna get more
consistent I promise
pinky swear and swear the purpose of
this video is to help people who are
interested in starting drag to kind of
give them some sort of path or what's
the word it's just a guide way to get
started where do I look what do I do
who would I talk to basically I'm trying
to answer the questions that y'all keep
asking me in my beard tutorial so I'm
gonna try to make this video as short
and useful as possible cuz your
time is precious my time is precious if
we all save time then we can go
play and make up do drag do
whatever be gay all that save the
whales all that good stuff
umm way to get started with drag where
to look first thing it's not what we do
man this is the Gemini brain I'm
good
damn okay
so if you if you're trying to look for
drag kings and you're trying to see the
different types of art styles that exist
first place you want to look is
Instagram now I'm on my cellular device
right no just search up drag king the
end this is just the hashtag if you
search up the hashtag drag king there's
about 260 K posts the first
person I see right here can you see that
does it adjust us tenderoni which up q
day is next person you see is a blurry
magic bike cool who is over here
there is
goddamn Mick
I think it's make douche some of these
names I don't know how to saying is I'm
gonna say it's because I'm African so
it's like I say everything phonetically
so I'll be looking at these names in the
morning I'm not trying to it up cuz
that's disrespectful but also my brain
just doesn't read right oh my god
this is what I do at home
I literally just sit here and scroll the
hashtag and just legitimately
stare at these kings in awe look
at that
do you see this sexy ass person
on your screen right now oh my god yeah
damn that is this is one name that I can
never ever ever get right it's either a
polo or Apollo and my girlfriend told me
how to say it but then my brain says one
thing but whether it's a polo or Apollo
they are so gorgeous
I stand so hard alright
I'm getting distracted because these
Kings are so hot Oh God
oh my god alright but the point that I
was trying to make is if you follow the
hashtag drag king and drag kings of
Instagram you can find a whole lot of
kings and you can and start
exploring find some people in your city
find some people near you I'm too
animated when I speak like I get excited
about this I love kings
wait no did I say I love kings I
mean I do but like what I meant to say
was I love Kings
yes I'm that so look up the hashtag you
don't have to pay for a show you
don't have to like
all my introverted people don't want to
do the RT you know artsy fartsy but
then you're like oh my anxiety doesn't
lino let me go to drag shows just
yet search it up on Instagram you know
bring the people to you and then from
there start to expand your idea of
dragging then do whatever makes
you happy and another thing that I
wanted to talk about is the fact that
there are no rules like if you want to
be a king and you want to bind or if you
don't want to bind or if you want to
have your titties out or if you want to
have like your dick print you know
swinging in the wind every time you
perform or you want to have whatever
print you want to have like there are no
rules to this I've seen
bearded drag queens I've seen
beards and titties I see literally any
and everything there's some kings who
only do facial hair with like real hair
there's some kings who use like what
does that thing called it like foam
there's some kings who like make beards
out of prosthetics there are some kings
who make beers out of like paint like
you can literally do any and everything
this is your art phone this is for you
there are no rules like be is wild or as
tame as you want to be this is all about
you this is your a place to go
escape the world you know like you make
up the rules that's really it
ain't no rules just do the
do whatever makes you happy like
if you want to be a parody or someone
being if you want to be an extension of
yourself do that if you want to be like
ultra macho man do that if you want to
be a super fem do that like you can
literally do any thing that you want to
do and then trying to think of what else
I could lake
that's really it like you can create
your character find a name whatever
name suits you whatever makes
you happy what else just build on your
character
I think of your drag persona as like the
one thing that doesn't have any
limits and be as as you want to be like
I know I work a 9 to 5 job but like on
the weekends that's when I let
loose and it's like I go from sending
the cubicle to lake hopping on a
stripper pole and glitter beards and
late and it's like when it might
the strip club I am the only dragging
out there can you imagine how it like
awkward that feels like if you're the
only person like doing your own
thing like but it's an lgbtq+ strip club
so like I am very welcome there whatever
you want to do this is your art this is
your expression embrace your
self and give yourself the
permission to show up and show out yeah
so that's really it build your character
build your persona find inspiration all
around you like if you want to do if you
want to do realistic beards search up
realistic beard search up have a
whole folder of beards if you
want to do some like abstract alright
have a whole folder of abstract
Heartlake find your inspiration and
build on it don't copy anyone don't copy
anything find some inspiration and then
that's your foundation and you got to
build a strong foundation like as far as
your art because the whole point of art
is to express yourself so if you give
yourself the permission when you're
going into it you're intentional with
the fact that like this is your space to
be as wild as you want to be this is
your space to like just do whatever you
want to do and don't let like don't let
anyone else try to tell you how to do
your drag ok don't don't just don't do
it it's like if you want to color
outside of the lines color outside the
lines the lines don't exist if the lines
don't exist this is just a recap of the
little brief things that I've spoken on
so far search up a hashtag drag king on
instagram drag kings of instagram drag
king makeup drag queen non-binary drag
search up whatever it is that you want
to do and find inspiration on social
media if there's nothing around you if
you live in the in Narnia
whatever wherever the you live if
you don't live near drag Kings you can
still find a community online it you can
still find inspiration you can still
find people that will like push you and
give you the space to explore you don't
necessarily have to be like 18 and older
you don't have to be old enough to like
be at the clubs performing to start
doing drag you know so if you're below
the age of like 21 and you can't get
into certain spaces to start exploring
use the internet find some kinks to
follow find some queens to follow find
some people to follow the you know that
fit into the type of art that you want
to create and then just watch them from
the watch them from the internet most
people post their performance videos
most people post their makeup looks so
you can still learn you can still gain
knowledge from like people without
actually you know being at the clubs
because age is a factor when it comes to
accessibility I'm doing the most right
now like ages of age and there are a lot
of other factors when it comes to
accessibility and who's able to go out
to these spaces but often times you got
to just create create for yourself
I have a whole album on my
Instagram of beards and like favorite
kings that I add or just bring
the people to you the Internet is free
friends are free yeah that's it thank
you for watching my youtube video i
appreciate your likes and
subscribes and your comments

italy thank you i love you
