Blogging, Me, and The Drag Fish, Me

As you probably noticed, i've been a little absent from this blog as of late. It's been really hard trying to manage multiple blogs for all my different personalities. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

i finally decided to condense all my blogs into ONE BLOG, (now if i can figure out a way to do that with my life).

Enter my new all-in-one blogspot, The Drag Fish.

One of my favorite blogs thus far (yes, there have only been 3 entries) is "The Top 5 Hardest Things About Trying to Start Your Own Business aka Making a Living Off Your Creativity." Check it out and let me know what you think about my new home.

Miss Gay USofA, Drag Projects, and Drag Fabulousity

Hello lovelies!! You all will be happy to know that i've been VERY busy behind the scenes working on some really cool drag queen things. Lashes, interns, and Goddesses just to name a few ;)

AND

i'm preparing for one of THE most awesome weeks of drag and pageantry of the year! Miss Gay USofA starts this Sunday with Classic and continues through Friday with Final Night. i have been scouring the earth looking for fabulousity to wear and i think i have found the perfect attire for Classic.

i'm dancing for Edna Jean, the current Miss Lone Star USofA Classic, and she had these FLAW LESS t-shirts made.


Well dear follows, you know that i am NOT the kinda of queen who would wear a t-shirt so i decided that i would turn mine into a dress!!!

i'm going to feature my mini project on this blog so you can enjoy the oh-so drag transition of an average t-shirt.

Now if i could just find something to wear for final night.

The search continues . . . .
