If you haven’t changed in a mop closet or performed on a stage made of literal wooden pallets, have you really done drag? We discuss The Bachelorette Party scene: How to handle the "Woo-Girls" who think your hair is a handle and the stage is their personal playground. The Corporate Cringe: Performing for HR managers who stare at you like you’re a 3D movie they didn’t pay for.

We’re tackling the big questions about love and the limelight: The Confidence Factor: What does a drag queen’s partner actually need? We discuss the security and self-assurance required to date someone who is constantly the center of attention. Is it smoother sailing to date a fellow performer who "gets it," or is it better to have a partner outside the scene to provide a reality check? How we balance late-night gigs, weekend travel, and the "drag widow" phenomenon. We’re taking a moment to celebrate excellence in the craft. In showgirl spotlight… this week our good Judy Ivy St. James. You sent them in, and we are reading them for filth! We dive into a pile of petty confessions sent in by our listeners.
