Indulgent Revue


Indulge me if you will...

Most of the information posted on this blog,Wickedmirror, is taken directly from my condensed D.R.A.G. 101 manual "How to Succeed in My Shoes Without Even Trying". The following (D.R.A.G 101-Who Are You?) has only recently been added to further educate and elaborate upon the points made in the Stage Performance sections.

and I will indulge you...

For those (too lazy) who haven't taken the time to review the information provided on D.R.A.G 101 I will quickly revue the four principles which make up the hyde n'outt D.R.A.G. experience:

DRAMATIZATION:The ART of Stage Performance and Verbal Illusion

REPUTATION: The ART of Character and Integrity

Appearance: The ART of Makeup Design

GUISE: The ART of Costume and Hair Design

please feel free to email any questions to hyde.n.outt@gmail.com

What the Heck is D.R.A.G. 101?


The hyde n’OUTT productions basics of drag are broken down into Four Main Principles: Dramatization, Reputation, Appearance and Guise. These Principles are further broken down into subcategories covering the scope of required information. By following these simple guidelines you too can become a well respected and talent driven preformer (in all aspects of entertainment).

DRAMATIZATION we learn about Verbal Illusion, Stage Presence, picking the Perfect Number, Practice Tecniques, and Preformance guidelines.

REPUTATION is souly focused on Attitude and Integrity of Character (in general a bitch does not get booked)

APPEARANCE is the longest section and focuses on the Art of Drag. Shopping, Grooming, the purpose Make-ups, Getting a Canvas and only then Make-up Application.

GUISE is dedicated to findiong and using a costume from Foundation Garments and Full Wardrobe, to Heels, Wigs and Final Touches.

I'm not just a pretty face you know.. these aspects all combine to create D.R.A.G. 101
(you can use the post labels to find future posts about any of the Principles)

D.R.A.G.101- introduction



I would like to start by including FREE information from my introductory D.R.A.G. 101 material "How to Succeed in my Shoes Without Even Trying" only for my blog members. This will be an ongoing installment and any questions may be sent to the email address included. hyde_n_outt(at)shaw(dot)ca

"OK BUT HOW DO I START?"
The first step for anyone considering drag is to set up a budget, it won’t be cheap to start and it doesn’t get any cheaper to maintain, you will need to determine a budget for, Hair, Make-up, Clothing, Undergarments, Shoes, and of course Accessories. We have compiled an appendix list of necessities, and the costs involved by undertaking drag as a hobby or career.(monetary breakdown included in guide if requested) As always this list is complied of rough costs for our local area and district, this never means that you won’t find cheaper products on the Internet or in your area. Go shopping.
