![]() I also want to continue to make people realize that women who participate in drag are just as valid as men who do, and to remove the stigma against queer women. Right now, my plans in the future are to work as a bridal makeup artist with the school I currently attend and to eventually work on my own as a freelance artist. I take a lot of pride in my work as a makeup artist and as a drag artist, I put a lot of hard work and time into what I do. I’m able to do a wide variety of makeup techniques and styles from bridal to drag, which I believe sets me apart from other makeup artists. Because I started doing makeup through drag, I have a different understanding than most people. I think what I do is different then what a lot of other people in my field are able to do. I am a Phoenix-based makeup artist and drag queen. Please tell us more about your work, what you are currently focused on and most proud of. I felt extremely unsafe at school and ended up leaving mostly due to that, and partly to pursue my love of makeup. I publicly came out as bisexual and a drag queen in the summer of 2018, and immediately felt my relationships with friends and family members change. A lot of my family is fairly conservative and I was very afraid of them finding out I did drag. It has definitely not been a smooth road to get to where I am now.

The four of us created a drag family and now we do fairly regularly perform. She ended up starting a drag show in October and invited me to perform, and that’s where I met the rest of my drag family, Blair Witchita, and Beatrix Bella Rouge. I went out in drag for the first time in June of 2018 and met one of my closest friends, Kalila Dea. I ended up completely falling in love with makeup and drag because of her and started playing in makeup. When I was 13, I created a secret account on Instagram just to follow drag artists and stumbled upon a queen named Biblegirl666 on Instagram and Twitter). She showed me videos of drag queens and taught me how to do makeup, and would steal makeup for me from her job at the time to help me get started. When I was 11 or 12, I met my best friend Lilly and she was the first person to bring drag and makeup into my life. Even though I’m a woman, I was very scared to be “overly feminine”. I didn’t really have an outlet for all of the “girly” things I wanted to do and felt embarrassed that I was so interested in them. ![]() ![]() When I was a kid, I wasn’t around a lot of very feminine people.
