Bit by the bug!
I had a very eventful weekend.
It was my two year anniversary with my husband we spent Saturday in Hot Springs just had a really nice time.
Saturday night began Miss Gay Arkansas America. Now you have to keep in mind that I live for this the way straight guys do a lot of sports. I live and die with the bitches on that stage. This year was particularly exciting for me as my Drag daughter Taylor was competing for her first time. She did really well got 1st alternate on her first attempt. The bad thing about this weekend is I have been bitten by the drag bug yet again.
The last few times this has happened thanks to a lot of benadryl and doing a couple of shows I was able to get the bug out of my system and move on. This year i just don't know if it is going to be that easy. I have a very supportive husband who wants me to compete and wants to see me get Miss Arkansas. I have long since told myself I was going to go ahead and finish up school before making my run at this again. It is so hard because this is something I REALLY want. I know i have to keep teling myself no. I have several friends who are formers who i know would help me a lot. I am not the the richest competitor so i would need a lot of help in the gown department. Those things are really expensive. I even know one former who would probably put her entire closet and coaching at my disposal. I just don't know. I am sure I will do some shows get my fix and return to finishing up my BA. I am about to start my senior term. I have not had the drag bug this strongly in a long, long time. I am sure that this to shall pass.
The funny thing is that as badly as I want to compete and to win, I DREAD the reigning year. There is a lot that you have to do as an entertainer and as the administrative rep. of the promoter. I would do well at this I have no doubts and would probably have several girls who were wrecked when I docked them administrative points. I am a stickler for the pagaent rules. But I really want to be a former and be a member of that sisterhood.
Oh well i will get there one day. I just have to be patient.
I know this was a very personal post and mainly about drag but I needed to vent this out. I will try to cook up something corny ehough to make Knotty Boy proud later today!!

Here's my suggestion: if you do much travelling...check out the clubs of your destinations: see if there's a chance of being a guest performer. And get your website up if you haven't already. Sometimes it takes being a name before being a face. When they hear about you, they will flock to see you!
Brian,
One of the big obstacles is that as Miss Arkansas you do spend a lot of time traveling.I have traveled in the state some and I know all the "girls" at the various clubs and even the owners.
My issue is that I don't have tons of money to just throw at getting ready. I could but I would be very poor eating ramen and barely hanging onto my house.
I needed the vent time to get it out of my system. I actually decided at lunch to set a time table for the next two years and get myself together as far as a package is concerned.
Thanks for the kind words.

Chile, you have no idea.
Competing is frustrating, expensive, heartbreaking, and time consuming.
Being a former FAR outweighs the pleasures, perks, and pomp of reigning.
If you want to do it, you have to want it more than anyone else.
Good luck-
