Half Drag... A Different Kind of Beauty



Out of all of the routunda projects that the Humanities classes did this one caught my eye. This topic was so unique and differen't from all the other ones, which is one of the reasons why I loved this project. This project is pretty much showing us waht a true drag queen is and why guys dress up like girls. I personally agree with Nicole and everything she says in her project. I absolutley believe that men dress up like girls to feel confident and discover a different kind of beauty. If some men like dressing up in make up and women's clothes because it makes them feel good about themelf and just love making people smile, then why not let them do what they love to do right? I do enjoy drag queens and support them because every one of them has a different story tell and a different look. No one is the same as the other. If you love to dress up and act like a girl by singing and dancing on stage then so be it; it shouldn't matter to you what anybody else says because as long as you're happy with what you're doing thats all that matters. But, unfortunately some men are againist drag queens because its like your changing your gender and they think that dressing up and wearing make up is gay. Let me tell you this the only thats guy is your opinions because no one asked you for them, so you dont have anything nice to say then dont say anything. Guys may feel insecure about themselves and when they wear that makeup they feel confident, so why try to knock someone's confidence down? To me that is just plain rude and disrepectful because everyone should be treated the same in this world no matter what gender they are or what actions they decide to make. It disgusts me to see that our society still picks on people who are living their life, just having fun, and most importantly just being themselves. Overall I think this was such a interesting topic that Nicole picked and I was very glad to learn more about drag queens because they dont do anything to anyone, they just are themselves and you should never change for nobody no matter what they say. You're unique and special in your own way and dont forget. Theres only one of you... nobody else is like you and life is too precious to waste on stupid things like people making fun of you. If guys want to be drag queens and entertain people then let them be it. It's their decision not yours. In conclusion, I support drag queens 100% and think they are fabulous, fierce and most importantly confident and don't care what anyone thinks.
