    I wasn't sure where to put this category wise but I was just looking for some opinions on whether or not I would look really stupid as a drag king or look good. I know a lot of people have never heard of drag kings but this being an LGBTQ site I figured y'all might. I am looking into doing a few local shows but I am nervous and still contemplating the idea. Please look at the album of pics I have up and let me know what you think? Please and thank ya.
    ~ Much love <3

    I think you would look good as a punk/alternative drag king

    Just a pet peeve of mine, but the term "drag king" doesn't really make much sense, since the word "drag" is a shortened form of "dressed as a girl"....

    "Drab king" makes more sense, since "drab" is a shortened form of "dressed as a boy".

    With that said, I don't see a reason why any girl could not be a good drab king. It just takes more work to get a good look depending on what you naturally look like. (The same goes for drag queens, any guy could be a good drag queen, it's just that if you are really tall and have a more masculine muscular look it's going to take a lot more work to get yourself looking all girly and pretty.)

    Looking at your album pics, all I see are faceless pics of skinny jeans, probably a good idea to lose the skinny jeans if you want to do drab. (Even though a lot of guys wear skinny jeans, it's still kinda a feminine look). There are no face pictures in your album, but again, I don't see a reason why any girl couldn't do drab. Give it a try, see how you look. If you don't like one look, make some adjustments until you get a look that you like. Eventually you will find yourself looking at a really cool drab king. :thumbsup:

    You're right - I had not heard of drag kings before, but did look them up. Some of them look handsome, and many of them look better than cismen. I'm surprised they were able to pull it off so well because I always thought it was harder for a bio-female to appear as a man than a bio-male to be a woman. I don't think you would look stupid at all, and I think you should go ahead and do it.

    Well I guess the problem is that most women naturally have smoother skin than most men, it's easier to use makeup to make a man's skin look smoother than it is to make a woman's skin look rougher.

    Ah thanks, but yeah seeing your pics I definitely think you would make an awesome drab king. :grin:

    I think you'd make a good drag king. What kind of music are you into?

    LOL but then it wouldn't have made any sense when drag queens first started using the term, since they're dressed as a girl, not as a guy. :lol:

    Ohh, do it! That would be probably be fun! I saw a couple cool drag kings at Pride, last month :grin: they looked like they had a lot of fun. Just make sure you bind, cause there was one that didn't, and it just kinda took away from his act, a bit. Ohh, but there was anoother one, who I saw around the festival, and I thought he was a gay boy and I was like "Ohh, damn, he's kinda hot" and then they announced him as a drag king and I was shoocked, he looked totally cismale.

    I've actually considered doing drag, before, but ehh, I dunno...

    Lol well even have guys have chests, if you have no chest literally, then you are saying your body is just a head attached directly to legs and arms? :grin:

    Judging by the picture, I think you would be an eyeful, Ace.

    In some of your pics, you actually look like you could pass for a man if you wanted to, if you don't mind my saying so. You should just try applying a fake mustache to your face to see how it looks, maybe post a pic on here?

    Yep. Of course that might seem a bias statement as a fellow gender switcher, but it isn't. You look handsome in those pictures, so with more effort I'm sure you could become a Drab King and a beloved one if you wanted.

    I gotta say you've gotten me more interested in this sort of think. I want to see if there are any clubs that have drab kings around here now.
