FYI- Make-up tutorials on Youtube... oh no!
If you have taken the time to search out make-up tutorials I am absolutely certain you have come across millions of fast handed drag queens who want to show you how THEY do THEIR make-up, absolutly nothing wrong with observing the process but if you really want someone to walk you through the process it will take ALOT more time.. I am truly honored to have come across this gem of a video series.. His drag is easy to follow and very forthcoming... I like these tutorials because he takes the time to really educate in terms the average newcomer will understand. Thanks to the author for allowing me to post and Enjoy

Back on Track babies!
I agree I have taken too much time off, I haven't posted a real blog entry in almost eight months. BUT THE BITCH IS BACK ONLINE!!! expect the best, read the rest!

When I moved to Victoria many years ago I was still a young drag queen, I had only been performing for two years and I was desperate to establish myself and continue to preform in my new home. It took me quite a while to gain the same respect as a serious performer I had when I was allowed to develop my career in Edmonton. a full two years of random bookings but i did it, I worked my way onto the stage and worked my ass off for three more first once a month then every two weeks as half of the monthly schedule. When I moved to Vancouver in February I needed a break, I made the transition to Vancouver living with little hesitation, I now face an even larger hurdle, with Victoria Pride approaching and being requested to host events I am left to question have I really taken too much time off, do I still have any following at all? I am desperate to announce YES, but feel a tinge of remorse for leaving so promptly. Is it possible to really take a break and make it back to the top in a new city? stay tuned and I guess we will find out together!

ready or not here comes mamma
Last night was a spectacular night to be at Prism lounge, my mom even made an appearance. I preformed a flawless Ready or Not Show and even squeezed in time for a few requests.. I love performing for an attentive crowd and last night was a pure pleasure, though only a small audience you were completely in the moment with me, Thank You... For those who have never been to a READY or NOT show, (what the hell are you thinking) its a perfect combination of wit, lip sync and pure improvisation, twenty drag numbers are placed into a box, randomly through out the hour long show numbers are selected and without rehearsal I am forced to preform the song. Honestly these are my favorites, I love the interaction with the audience and everyone loves to see drag queens squirm... It has been a long time since my mom has attended my shows and it really is a sign I know we are on the right track.
In other news I am looking for new talents, I would love to put some new girls in there first real show, I have the time and dedication to make you flawless. email me for details. hyde_n_outt(at)shaw(dot)ca (i don't add email to blog posts as crawlers will send me stuff i don't need)

why i do it?

Hey guys, a lot of you may be wondering why I have choosen to create a blog, and why I am posting tips for drag that may limit my audience. I know and love a lot of the veiwers that already tune into my fanclub facebook site, but i know what i is like to be a new performer in this industry.
When I started doing drag in Edmonton the winter of 2000 (seven years ago) I was tremendously lucky to have a firm support team including my brother (then a seasoned queen in the community) Eden, GoDiva, the soon to be Mia Fellow, Sassy Ass and Neta. I lucked out getting the support I got, however most new performers interested in getting into the scene are left to sink or swim. This is driven by the fear that with too many drag queens coming in and not enough space to keep them all well oiled in money, an apprentice may in all likelyhood steal ones booking. these are realistic assumptions however I believe that the more preformers that get into the community the larger our voice and the stronger our impact to keep a dying art alive. I post tips and trade sectrets that will help to keep our community alive well into the next generation.. Use them to benefit and love eachother.
Until next time, Who Loves Jakyllyn Hyde? Kisses

What is DRAG?
Honestly I told myself this would be the first post I would make as it seems even in our own community ALOT of people are still bit confused.
Many confuse the term Drag Queen with Transgender, Transsexual, or Transvestism. While all listed are realistic assumptions to the uninformed the former three represent very serious aspects of a sexual and genetic field. You must first understand what a drag queen is not.
"What is a Drag Queen?" This is the most common question asked of DRAG performers, the difference between Drag and Transgender. The simplest form of a much longer explanation is that drag is typically the art of performing or appearing as the opposite gender, or “Gender Illusion”. Although not every Drag Queen is a performer, we have a much broader term for people who dress as the opposite gender as a lifestyle; these people are referenced to as transgender. Those transgender individuals who choose to go through sexual reasignment surgery to become the "opposite", their true gender, are referred to as transsexual (post and pre operation). There are individuals, generally Heterosexual who dress as the opposite gender simply for personal or sexual pleasure, this is where the term transvestite come in. There are many different reference points for these discussions however in this forum we will be focusing on the art of DRAG, more specifically men transforming into women for performance purposes DRAG QUEENS.
The term ‘DRAG’ originated through the Elizabethan era, around the end of the sixteenth century, when women were prohibited from appearing in theatre. William Shakespeare who would write in the margins ‘DR.A.G’ next to the name of the male cast member appearing as female, stating simply this character as appearing “DRess As Girl.” Since this time we have come to describe any man dressing as a woman on stage to be in “DRAG”. The term Drag King, a woman who appears dressed as a man, came much later closer to the late twentieth century and supposedly there was a term “DRAB” referring to “dressed as boy” that never caught on, I wonder why?
