A couple years ago, (has it really been that long?) I decided that I wanted to spotlight some queens on my blog. It lasted for about 3 posts...because:
a) At the time, when I started it, I didn't know many queens.
b)I didn't want to bother people with interview questions, because, really, who am I?
c) I didn't really know what I was doing.
I've got three years of blogging under my belt now. I have a little bit better idea of what I'm doing. And, I know a ton of drag performers now. (Still not sure how many of them would be up for being spotlighted...) So, it might be time for me to bring this back to the blog.
I think the hardest part of the whole process of figuring out the interview questions, though, is going to be what to ask, that wouldn't be the "normal" questions. Everyone wants to know about the first time that you did drag, and what that was like, so, there would be those kind of questions. But, I'm more interested in some of the lesser known stuff. Why do you do drag? What keeps you doing drag?
My Maine queens (and kings) deserve representation and exposure (to the world...because I do have readers from around the world). But, I want to show off some of the queens that I've spent time with, who I really enjoy watching them. And, I want to get the names of some of Maine's new crop of performers out there. There are a number of really good queens, who are very new to the scene, who could use a little bit of exposure, to build their fan bases.
So, if you're a queen and want to be featured, let me know. Or, if you know a queen who would like to be featured, shoot me a message, and me know. I would love to hear from any and all queens and kings. Because, let's face it...drag is about exposure. And, any exposure is good exposure...even if it is just from a silly little blog.
