Hey there, fellow drag queens! I'm Kiki, and I've been doing drag for over 10 years now. I've seen a lot of queens come and go, and I've learned a thing or two about what it takes to succeed in this industry.
In this blog post, I'm going to share 10 tips with you that have helped me along the way, as well as the experiences of other successful drag queens.
Tip #1: Be yourself
This may seem like a no-brainer, but it's important to remember that drag is all about expressing yourself. Don't try to be someone you're not, because it will show. Just be yourself, and let your personality shine through.
Tip #2: Be confident
Confidence is key when it comes to drag. If you don't believe in yourself, no one else will. So walk into every room with your head held high and your shoulders back. You've got this!
Tip #3: Be professional
When you're doing drag, you're representing yourself and the drag community as a whole. So it's important to be professional at all times. This means being on time for your shows, being respectful of your audience, and being mindful of your surroundings.
Tip #4: Be creative
Drag is all about creativity, so don't be afraid to experiment. Try new things, and don't be afraid to fail. Failure is a part of the creative process, and it's how you learn and grow.
Tip #5: Be persistent
The drag industry is tough, and it's not easy to make a name for yourself. But if you're persistent, you'll eventually achieve your goals. Just keep working hard, and never give up on your dreams.
Tip #6: Be supportive
The drag community is a close-knit community, so it's important to be supportive of your fellow queens. Be there for them when they need you, and celebrate their successes.
Tip #7: Be humble
No matter how successful you become, it's important to stay humble. Remember that you're not better than anyone else, and that you're still learning and growing.
Tip #8: Have fun!
Drag is supposed to be fun, so don't forget to enjoy yourself! If you're not having fun, then your audience won't either. So relax, let loose, and have a blast!

And that's when I started to succeed." - [Queen Penicle]
