Faux Queen / Drag Queen Recap: What's the T on Me?

Sooooo it's been a pretty awesome week! A did my faux queen/drag queen thing at a photo shoot, got some some writing, and drag, drag, and more drag!

i do so much behind the scenes (meaning bad ass drag stuff when i'm  not on my blogs) that i've decided to share them with you in my new weekly blog segment called, What's the T on Me?

Here's this week T party!
___________________________________

i did a photo shoot at Velvet Burnout that captured me as your normal girl next door, then boudoir  and then full Drag Queen/Faux Queen that i am! Here's a sneak peak!

Pretty cool eh? (Yea i know . . . my dress is totally crooked in the first shot!)

In case you missed it, here is the first article in The T Drag Series, Drag from A to Z.

i also took a little break from trying to create my empire to have date night with my partner. Here we are after our second margarita--you definitely don't want to see the picture after our 4th or 5th one . . . NOT PRETTY!

AWWW she's SOOO Pretty!

And here is something really cool that i found on the internet that i wish i would have though of first:

Miss Oklahoma Diva USofA Part I - Contestants

WOW.

i think i have finally recovered from this past weekend of FULL ON USofA pageantry. Let me start by saying that USofA is no joke. i thought that having been in a few pageants prior would have prepped me for a real system.

NOPE!

The people who compete in USofA come with fierce packages that each, in their own right, could take home the title.

Miss Oklahoma Diva USofA was no different.

There were 6 beautiful contestants who made pageantry history Sunday night and this blog is dedicated to them.

#1 Alison Scott

Alison in her Club Wear (LOVE the SHOES!!)

Her voice was spot on in her talent--a live rendition of "On Broadway." We were all singing along back stage!! Alison brought the house down winning interview and 1st Alternate!! She was amazing and i'm soooooo excited about our reign together and seeing her again at Nationals in November!!

Talent--YOU BETTA WERQ!

#2 Jessica Gritte Matrix

Club Wear (You can't tell from this pic, but all the cherries on her dress were stoned for filth!! LIVE!)

This pic (and woman) is EVERYTHING!!! She is beautiful, classy, and came to play. Like myself, she has a long history in pageantry and i knew she was one to watch. Her talent was a beautiful mix of songs that she performed live amid stunning dance imagery. Her package was fierce and i have a feeling that i will be seeing her again VERY soon!! i LOVE LOVE LOVE her!!!!!!!!!!! 

Talent (Still singing and still in full on FACE!!)

#3 Deana Skelton

Club Wear

If Miss Oklahoma Diva had a Miss Congeniality award, it would go to Deana. She was no drama, no shade, ALL CLASS! She was humble about her talent which she sang flawlessly and she was an amazing competitor. I am in LOVE with her!

Talent (This all fringe dress is SICK!!!!!!!!!) (And this pic is EVERYTHING!)

#4 Lucki Boom Boom Sillizo

Club Wear

Lucki was the first contestant i met and i knew right off the bat that we would get along (her name alone sold me on our friendship). She has a style and charisma that is uniquely her own and she worked the house down! Her talent was a burlesque piece and she was SICK O NEEN!!!  

Talent. This pic of Lucki is AH MAZ ING!!!! So uber talented!

#5 Allyson Collins

Club Wear (L O V E the pose!!)

i didn't really get the chance to talk with Allyson much, but she brought it in every category! Her talent was a  sickening take Miley Cyrus' "Can't Be Tamed" cage, wings, nest, and all! She had so much energy and spunk and i can't wait to see what she will bring to the table in November!!

Talent (The birds nest and cage gave me LIFE!)

One of the most amazing things about opening yourself up and putting yourself out there is that you learn so much more than what you ever would have staying in your comfort zone. i learned that Oklahoma has a history of cisgendered/biological female pageantry and i got to meet Oklahoma's first  title holder, the ever so flawless  Sonja Martinez. 

i NEVER would have learned about Oklahoma's rich female drag history if i had stayed in Texas and NOT competed. I NEVER would have met ANY of these fearless women who competed alongside with me on the Copa stage had i just gone to Nationals in November. This is why we do what we do--history, experiences, and setting/raising the bar. 

All the contestants, royalty, audience, special guests, judges, and Oklahoma Diva promoter, Christina Garcia, were a part of a history that i am not even sure we ourselves realize how big it really is. 

Yes, i won but this is not about me its about us . . . 

This blog is a celebration of all the contestants of the first EVER ANYWHERE Diva USofA pageant. Together we have created the bar and set the standard for future Diva-ians.

i am truly honored and humbled to have made history with each and every one of you beautiful women; we truly are ALL winners.

Drag Cap & Drag Snaps: Gaybingo Dallas, Bellydancing, and Miss Gay Dallas America

February has been an extremely busy month and it's looking like March is heading in that direction as well. In addition to my days in drag, i have also gotten back into bellydancing--Miabella at Crescent Moon Studios is one of the most loving and amazing women i have ever met.

Here are my favorite Drag Snaps from this past week. Enjoy!

Female Drag Queen Anthology (Originally titled: Faux Queen Anthology)

Hello dragsters! i am uber excited to announce a new addition to the female drag queen anthology family!!!!!!!

Kentucky Fried Woman is coming on as our burlesque editor! She is a fierce and fabulous performer, one of the co-authors of the "Bio-Queen Manifesto," and my new and AMAZING lifelong friend!!

Here's a peak at all the dragtastical things she has done:

Kentucky Fried Woman is an Oakland, CA based danceer and drag performer/emcee/producer and social justice activist. She co-founded and performs with several groups including ButchBallet & ButchTap. She also played Hermoine Granger in Hogwarts Express: The Musical and collaborates with many bay area queer performance artists. KFW is known for her wacky events like the always themed Kentucky Fried Woman Show. KFW started performing in the queer cabaret community with the Santa Barbara based troupe the Disposable Boy Toys in 2000 and went on to found the Seattle-based ground-breaking, fat positive  queer performance group the Queen Bees before relocating to Oakland. She is available to speak, produce, perform and emcee events and also teaches classes and facilitates workshops on a variety of subjects related to bodies and identity.

i LOVE this woman and i'm so excited to have her on board!

YEA!

Netchick on Demand Show: Brandi Amara Skyy, 2 Fierce Dallas Faux Queens, and 2 Queens

Last night's Netchick on Demand show kicked off a VERY busy week for me: 2 full production shows, 1 commissioned blog, 1 pageant, 3 rehearsals, and the continuation of Project Nunway.

And if that isn't enough, i am still keeping up with my other blogs, editing the female drag anthology, transcribing my interview with the women of the "Bio Queen Manifesto," and writing my own piece.

*WHEW*

i'm one busy queen!

Gaybingo Dallas - 50 Shades of Gay

What a fabulous time and a fabulous show at Gaybingo this past Saturday!!

One of the best things about dancing with people for five + years is that you don't require a lot of rehearsal time to pull off a kick ass show!! i received a text from my dancing soul mate, Manny, on Friday about resurrecting our "Single Ladies" production and the next day (with less than an hour rehearsal and NO stage time) we pulled off a SICK O NEEN mini production.

Here are some pics of the first Gaybingo of 2013 with a video coming soon! All photos are courtesy of Cher Musico of Musico Roots Photography.

World AIDS Day & the DFW Sister's Red Dress Party

i attended the DFW Sisters Red Dress Party on Saturday night and had an amazing time. Great night, great people, great cause! Lots of mingling and people in the community getting together to remember those who have past, celebrate those who are still living, and raise money to find a cure.

There were drinks (oh yes, there were lots of drinks :)) and i came home with a HUGE bonus: my FIRST EVER DragonLady jewelry set. It was a silent auction item that is valued at $750 that i got FOR A STEAL!!! Want to see?

Isn't it AMAZING?!?!?!?

 i went, i conquered, i made a difference (and got some fabulous bling in the process!). Here are some photos  from the event. Enjoy!
