Response to Question – How to kill a dream?

Well – that’s not actually the question – but Miss Sinthia D Meanor Of Dayton, Ohio (and your reigning Miss Ohio National Pride) asks, “How does one properly give the response of "Quit doing drag because you're just god-awful and rot-gutted" when asked for advice?

Of course, the bitch in me, sitting at a drag show watching a horrible performance by someone who I believe is “just god-awful and rot-gutted” would be to read the poor thing like a vintage copy of National Geographic, commenting on how Jane Goodall needs to come and teach that gorilla how to speak OR that Sigourney Weaver fights monsters like that in Alien Movies or ever better…..Is that the little boy from Children of the Corn??

HOWEVER – The compassionate human being in me (wink) would never to tell someone they can’t do something.  There is an audience for everyone and I mean EVERYONE – even if I think they look like they belong in a zoo. 

Keeping in mind that the scenario is that they came to me, I would advise them to remember that, “This is a job and people pay a lot of money to be entertained.”   I would then pick a couple of generic items to comment on – like…NEVER go on stage without some sort of padding (unless you are naturally shaped like a woman), some sort of body shaping garment (even if you don’t think you need them) and wear at least one pair of hose (especially if you don’t think you need them).

This sort of advise is less directed toward their personal performance (and less likely to squash their dream) but still a good step toward being less of a monkey (wink).

I might also suggest that I could help them make a pair of pads for a fee – LOL  

And there’s my One Penny’s Worth!
