How I Fared In Drag

Well, the play is over and with it, a fulfillment of one of my life-long, must-do thing; getting into drag.

From audience responses and from what some of my friends say, I apparently, did well. In fact, my first appearance fooled some members of the audience until I began talking. The director told me that a number of people that did not know me thought I was a woman, until of course they heard my voice. He attributed it to my makeup and my first costume. I was kind of flabbergasted and frankly chose not believe it until Cookies and Cakes reaffirmed. He and Peter Pan (a new character on Just Me that I have known and been close friends with since kindergarten but did not become extremely close to until recently) were there to watch my performance. Cookies and Cakes has been a long time cheerleader for my getting into drag and I knew he wouldn't miss for the world!

(content is not an accurate reenactment)

Cookies and Cakes: It was so good!
J: You'll obviously knew my first appearance already right since I have already shared it with you.
Peter Pan: Ya, and when you spoke in that husky voice people started laughing.
Cookies and Cakes: *looks to Peter Pan* No, people actually thought that he was a woman.
J: WHAT THE......???!!!!!!
Cookies and Cakes: YES!!! People thought you were a woman. I dunno how, perhaps your makeup and that outfit but a lot of people in the audience thought you were a woman until you started talking.
J: Are you kidding me????!!!!!!!!! *still in disbelief*
Cookies and Cakes: No, seriously! You did!!!

Such validation! No wonder Mr. P "raised" for me! Now I really know I confused him! HAHAHA!!! Good to know!
