#which is fine and better than fhe alternative but still disappointing to see

Balancing that drag is an art and culture worthy of study with the fact that almost every person I've met who studied drag on a professional level (by which I mean, college) has been really fucking bad at it LMAO.

Which isn't to say they're bad at makeup or costuming or anything like that - they're usually really good at that. But they're bad at drag. They don't have the je ne sais quoi.

#ofc this could be clouded by #1. almost all the ppl ive met who studied drag are White and Middle+ Class #2. the drag i am around now that i encounter those ppl is diff from the kind i encountered back in my hooker days #but anyway. speaking of i think you should either have to have been a hooker (HOOKER not onlyfans girlie) or pass the approval test of #a council of hookers to do it slash half joking #my earnest feeling is actually that it's much like service dog law in that its good that there are so few restrictions so anyone #can do it but also goddamn that makes it so theres a lot of shit service dogs #which is fine and better than fhe alternative but still disappointing to see #also ofc there's something to be said about what kind of drag is considered acceptable enough to wind up in a college course also
