8) AN OUTFIT
Your outfit is not only what makes you the sensational queen that you can be, but also your chosen persona. Anything from corsets, lingerie, cocktail dresses, hot pants, summer dresses or ball gowns will drape you with the final push you need to step into your queen’s character. Which kind are you? A fearless and seductive mistress hunting for her next conquest, or an innocent young maiden searching for true love? Your outfit, your choice!
If you need some inspiration before you set out on your shopping spree, you might want to check out Stylebook. It’s an outfit planner app designed to put your closet items onto your phone and be your own professional fashion assistant. You can also pay your friends a visit and rummage through their clothes before hitting the high street. We know the first outfit can be daunting, so perhaps watching a funny video of someone else’s first attempt at making their own will relieve you from some of the tension. Actually, drawing from this attempt, maybe sketching your outfit out first is a good way to start! Whoever you chose to be, whatever your disguise, feel the part, be the part and most importantly, embrace the part!
All set? Great! Now, if you’re in need of some guidance while going up in drag, here is a great tutorial by Kardi Blac.
All done? Wow, I almost didn’t recognise you! YAAAS Queen! Pop off, don’t you look spectacular! While you’re at it, go steal those cherry-red stilettos from your sister’s wardrobe too?
No doubt, you’ll knock ’em dead – and don’t forget to take pictures!
