I’m entering a new era of my drag 💜For a year after the tv show aired I was able to pay my bills by performing & teaching drag, and with the occasional sponsored post. I felt lucky to be able to turn my passion into a career but the increased attention that came with it made my anxiety skyrocket! I felt tied to the treadmill of maximizing the exposure I’d received and it stripped away a lot of my love for the artform. This year I’ve been processing that pressure and those high expectations, and I’ve been taking space back in my life for Meags. I’m finally at a place now where I’m at peace about doing just what I can and only what feels good. My goal is to make looks that interest me and to perform acts that make my friends laugh. If I can still book the occasional well paying gig here and there, I’ll be grateful for those opportunities! 💜 Hooray for improved mental health! 😈 Headpiece by me 📸 Photography by me #dragking #dragkings #dragartist #canadiandragking #canadiandrag #dragphotography #dragqueen #malecontour #dragkingmakeup #femmeking #montrealdrag #dragmtl #canadiandragking #canadiandrag #instadrag #dragphotography #androgynous #genderbender #performanceart #queerart #dragkingsofinstagram #dragkingvisibility #alldragisvalid #canadianmua

I performed my photobooth act at Toronto Pride this past weekend! Many of my drag friends don’t know that I’m also a graphic novelist and that I wrote a 280 page book about the history of photobooths!! 🌈 An unintended side effect of these automatic, private photo-taking machines was that they became a safe space for queer couples, most of whom would have never been allowed to be photographed lovingly together until then. Now I’m working on adapting my book into in a major feature-length documentary! 🎥 It’s gonna be told through a very queer lens, so the drag community will play a part in it as well! We’ve been shooting here and there but we’ll officially be in production this fall, so lots of fun updates to come!! If you’re interested in buying the book you can order it on my Etsy, link in bio ❤️ 📸 Photo credits: 1st photo: @darsh_jain_photography 2nd-4th photos: @chris.captured.it 5th photo: @_willmack 6th photo: by me For the super nerds who’ve read all the way to the end here… my costume is based on a Canadian Auto-Photo Model 17 🤓 #dragking #dragkings #dragartist #canadiandragking #canadiandrag #dragphotography #photoboothart #photobooth #analoguephotobooth #analogphotobooth #chemicalphotobooth #vintagephotobooth #canadiandocumentary

I transformed this (purposefully) ratty wig that @wigzaddy made for me on ep.4 of Call Me Mother, S1. This is part 1, I had to split it in two cuz IG doesn’t allow reels to be as long as TikTok 🫠 #dragking #dragkingwig #canadiandrag #canadiandragking #wigtransformation #wigstyling #dragkingsofinstagram #dragqueen #callmemother
