Tuck your junk ho!
Ain't no one like to watch a queen with a bad tuck, well most everyone. Make sure that you keep your tuck under control. You can accomplish this in many ways, YOU just have to decide whats best for you!
1. The Duct Tape Method
Yes it is as uncomfortable as it sounds. I have done it a few times but I honestly don't know why people do it. If your in a bind and can't use other methods, it does come in handy however. Basically if you have ever put ur penis back and squeezed your legs together to make it look like a vagina, or have seen it done, that's basically what we are going for here. But instead of pushing the balls behind your legs you push them up, there is a cavaty straight up from where the balls fall from. If you push them up and pull everything back then you just secure it all with duct tape from the front of your underwear line and up the back to your underwear line then your done. Here's a video to help clarify a little:
2. Spanx:
Basically you do the same thing as you do with the duct tape, but without the duct tape. You basically push every thing into place like before, but instead of using duct tape, you secure it with a couple pairs of spanx. Usually one works fine for me, then I wear a body shaper over that. You can alter it if the leg parts roll up from your panty hose or tights, so that it sits more like panties instead of boxers. Is you plan to dress, well, slutty then you will either want to alter them so they don't show, cause thats corny, or you will have to wear your tights over them so that it covers them up completely.
3. Gaff Panties:
I have heard that they aren't worth the investment, that spanx that are half the price, are comparable if not better for holding things down. I haven't personally tried them, but I know the spanx have worked fabulous for me so far! I also know some queens who can't live without Gaff's though. So if you'd like to try it, please do!
Q & A
Is tucking dangerous? No, there are many myths about things like testicles becoming twisted, but nothing has been medically proven.
Will tucking reduce my sperm count? If you were to tuck everyday all the time, then yes, it would eventually have a hormonal effect on you. However for a general "night on the town" its usually only up for a few hours.
Will tucking stop my penis from growing? Nope, that's all about your genes and nothing to do with how you treat your penis.
How do you properly remove duct tape? The best time is to wait for the shower, if you have had a long night and you've been sweating hard, it may just peel off as nasty as that sounds! You never want to pull it off, it can cause scaring, red skin bumps, and sometimes bleeding.

My Favorite Stores This Month
So I have been bustling around town lately and I have to write about these stores. Not that they are new or anything, but I have been at these store non-stop because of last minute shows and a need for new supplies. I am not paid by any of these stores, they are simply my go to spots for different supplies.
1. GoodWill
Website: www.goodwill.org/
Locations: 165 orginizations in the U.S and Canada
Recommend shopping for: Fabrics, browsing dresses, occasional wigs.
This thrift store is really an amazing one. I used to buy all my drag outfits there until I started sewing them myself. Now I find tons of neat and unique fabrics there along with little gadgets and gizmo's to either add to the costume or just use as a stage prop. Recently I had a great find that I almost gagged about, I found 3 yards of genuine black leather for the ridiculous price of $5. I almost fainted!
Although like most, if not all thrift shops, it's not always an amazing find, sometimes I leave with nothing and spend nothing, but this month I have been pleasantly surprised.
2. United Beauty Supply
Website: N/A
Locations: Uncertain, but I believe only Arizona
Recommend Shopping for: La Femme // Hair on Tracks
I am in love with this shop. If there are any beauty supplies I need they literally have it all: from nails, to makeup, to hair/wigs, even razorless shaving powder for men. They have it all in one place. Their prices are also the lowest I've seen anywhere and they also offer discounts to performers as well as beauticians, which I love! They also carry my new found favorite, La Femme eye shadows and blushes.
3. Easley's Fun Shop
Website: http://www.easleys.com/
Location: 7th ave and McDowell rd in Phoenix, Arizona.
Recommended shopping for: Makeup, Wigs, and Eye Lashes. Occasional Costumes.
They have a great selection of stage makeup such as Ben Nye, Krylon, I get my favorite foundation there, the TV Paint Stick. They also have a great selection of wigs, though I don't recommend newer queens to get them there since they would have to know the difference in synthetic quality. I also love to get my lovely 301 eye lashes there. They also have the huge clown eyelashes there! I wish they had a better selection of feather lashes, but maybe one day. The costuming there is pretty fun. They do have a great assortment of things and if you need a costume last minute its a great place to look.
These have made my top list this month, and really most months to be honest. I have tried different stores around the valley and I may do a "does not meet expectations" post soon, possibly. Thanks for reading! Hope this helps dolls!

Tips for Tits
.:: Old Fashion Methods
Rice or BirdSeed:
When you first start in drag, many queens will recommend this method to you. It is simple, cheap, easy to do, and it does the trick. All that being said there are a few negative points to go over that I wasn't aware of when I started drag. First rice will mold with time, so you will have to change your rice at least once a month. Birdseed will eventually sprout because the sweat will act like water. If you are still interested in this method for a temporary solution here is how you do it. If you plan on becoming a dancing queen, this may not be the best option for you since the weight tends to wear bra's out quickly.
You will need:
Step 1:
Measure the right amount of rice to fill the stocking.
Step 2:
Dump the preferred medium into the stocking. (About 2 cups is a size D)
Step 3:
Once you meet your adequet size, do a loop knot to close off the end. You don't want it to be to tight so the rice doesn't move, you want it secure though so that the knot doesn't come undone. The knot will act as a nipple.
Step 4:
Trim the excess stocking off and start the second boob =]
Same idea, but better: To get longer lasting boobs, try using small Polystyrene beads, or if you can't find them I had some trouble locating them as well, Try using pillow stuffing, place either or into a stocking and you have a: washable, dry-able, sanitary, and a long lasting boob!
Water Balloon:
These are also relatively inexpensive and actually have a really great feel to them. Some people even prefer these over silicone falsies. The downside is that they do have the chance of popping at any moment, so it is always a good idea to pack extra.
You will need:
Step 1:
Take your balloon and open then mouth wide enough to fit over the faucets mouth
Step 2:
Secure the balloon on the faucet and hold it tightly with one hand
Step 3:
Turn on the water slowly and gradually increase the flow, but don't allow it to fill to fast or it will burst. Also allowing the water to fill the balloon slowly will allow you to gauge the size more accurately. If you happen to overfill you can always dump a little out before you tie it off.
Step 4:
Turn off water, squeeze the neck of the balloon to hold the water in.
Step 5:
Tie it off and you are finished.
.:: Newer Methods
Foam Inserts:
These are the fancy version of shoulder pad inserts. Most selections come with nipples, and a few come with adhesive on the back so that you can stick them on your chest. They typically come marked for the size your looking for. They are a great substitute for the higher end boobs, but they don't quite look as real or feel as real.
Instructions for application:
Simply put your bra on and place these inside nipple side facing away from your body =]
Invisibra or other silicone inserts:
I wouldn't recomend these to highly, unless your body shape calls for about an A cup. These are typically made for women, so they aren't quite as thick as you need them to be to really fill out a bra properly. It is great for small bodied individuals or for transitioning girls. If you are using them as a boy however, even a small boy, you will need to layer them. Most will come with adhesive on the back already but you can also use adhesive spray, or even hot glue, to hold them more firmly together. The cheapest I have found these however was about $30, so cost wise, it would be a very small savings, and I would just go with regular silicone inserts which we will cover next. They are great for T-girls on hormones, because once your breast have developed as far as they can, this is one way to make them appear bigger without getting surgery.
Tips for wearing:
Most come with adhesive on the back, so as a man you would grab stick it to the appropriate area on your chest, which is slightly below your natural nipple, stick it on and while holding it, pull it to the other side and stick it on. It should be pulling your chest together to form a cleavage. Since you will be performing and sweating I don't recommend wearing just this, I still suggest wearing a bra just in case they decide to come off.
High End Silicone Falsies:
These are great for drag, but much like the rice, they can be heavy especially for bigger girls. You will need a bra that can take the weight. These run anywhere from $100+. Not all of these are made the same, some have nipples and some do not. It is up to you to decided whether or not that is important, in my opinion it doesn't but the audience does chuckle a little. Unlike the inserts, you only need one pair of these and you are set. Again most have an adhesive tape that helps hold it against your chest however, you are still going to want to wear a bra with these puppies.
More proof of the creativeness of drag. There are always a million different ways to do things in drag and not one is necessarily better than the other. If worse comes to worse, you can even make boobs out of rags! If you find something that works for you, do it. Remember however, to always leave yourself open to try different things and never put a cap on your learning!
