More inspiration

I mentioned the show RuPaul's Drag Race in an earlier post, but I didn't quite stress how OBSESSED I am with this show. My life feels like a countdown until the next series or episode and I wouldn't have it any other way. If you're familiar with America's Next Top Model, then the format for Drag Race will be very familiar to you, albeit with Drag Queens rather than female models.

A good chunk of an episode will feature Queens getting ready in their makeup and costume, something which we'd always talked about filming for our piece, and afterwards we see them strutting their stuff on the runway to be judged.

This idea of transformation brings me back to the theme of hands. Even the most feminine and gorgeous Queen cannot escape the masculine trait of big hands, and one of the Queens I'm following the most right now, Courtney Act, posted a picture that sums this up very well.

"The problem with drag selfies is the clutching man hand in the foreground."

One thing I can draw from this is the idea that no matter how much we change or transform, there will always be an aspect of who we were beforehand, be in minuscule or large.
