    90% of drag queens still have to work a fulltime day job. Those that actually manage to turn it _into_ their day job are brilliant. Well done, Fena. It seems your name is popping up everywhere lately and you definitely deserve the recognition.

      @@wendybutler1681it’s more that the arts are treated like a marginally glorified hobby in the US. It’s incredibly difficult to make a full-time living as a performer of any type; no matter how money the production and venue is raking in, talent is rarely paid its worth.

      @@TheAzeraththis is so true. I’ve always been a musician and my entire life people tried to convince me to just keep it as a hobby and it’s a terrible thing to say to someone who’s doing something they love and doing it well
