Holy McGrail: Faux Queen Diva

When I first started drag as a fresh young innocent queen, it use to take me about 2.5 to 3 hours.  But now that I’m a not-so-fresh tired old queen, it takes me about 1 to 1.5 hours.  I’ve applied my drag makeup hundreds of times and I still find new ways of doing it bigger, better or faster even though it has been my same signature template for 7 years.

As for wigs I like to use existing wigs as a base then stack it with other wigs, add weave tracks or braiding hair.  I also have some mad wig styling skills and pump them up. The bigger the hair…..  For my ‘hair show’ conceptual wigs, I start from scratch usually with a straw hat then add Styrofoam, various decor, hair, wigs and even motors to make shit spin. My biggest wig was like 8’ feet high and 6’ feet wide and took 200 hours to make starting from scratch.  Drag is one helluva creative outlet and I’m blessed to have found my calling.  Werk! xoxox Holy McG.

If a hater is hating on me because of my performances or even my look then that’s okay, it’s not their flavor and you can’t please them all.  But if a hater is hating on me because I have a vagina…well then they’re just close-minded and can just go fuck themselves. 

I’m a drag performance artist and drag is my passion hence why I put so much love and work into what I do.  The drag queens & the gay community here in San Francisco know this and treat me with respect and as one of their own regardless that I have a vagina.  I also get love from outside of San Francisco as I’ve accumulated an awesome fan base and people enjoy what I do, this includes drag queens from other cities and even several from RuPaul’s Drag Race.

So I could care less about any haters, I’m having a fabulous time bringing joy to others which brings me much joy in return.  Werk!

You my dear are a STAR!!!  I had to post your message on FaceBook and the response has been amazing. Not sure if you and I are FB friends but if you haven’t seen it, you’ll have to check it out.

My drag queen sisters and circle of friends are living for you and your wonderful love message.  I went out this weekend and you were the subject of several conversations.  One of my gay friends said he even got teary-eyed reading your message. When I read your message for the first time, I got teary-eyed as well as it was the sweetest thing anyone has ever said to me and it brightened my gloomy day. Thank you sooooo much!

We all agreed that you are on the right glittery path of faux queendom since you already have the right mindset and understand that drag is indeed an art form PLUS you are inspired by it and all of its fabulousness.  I felt the same way as you do before I began my journey on my glittery path to become a faux queen myself 7 years ago.

I’ve never done this before but for you I will make an exception since you are truly exceptional. I would love to adopt you as my online drag daughter and help mold and prepare you for when you do have that moment to shine in the spotlight, you will be a polished & fierce faux queen that will wow any crowd.  I’ll provide fantastic tips and tricks of the trade like wig styling, wardrobe, makeup, performing & overall fabulous insight.  One on one attention…maybe even Skype tutorials.

So what do you say, Darling? Would you do me the honor and accept me as your online drag mother/mentor?  Please brighten my day again and say yes. xoxox Holy McGrail

Oooh tricky question. I’ve been in a loving relationship with my girlfriend for 5 years but I don’t really label myself as a lesbian. Maybe it’s because I actually have a sense of humor…just kidding.

But I label myself a queerosexual or LadyGay. In fact some of my gay and drag queen friends have labeled me as the biggest gay man in San Francisco because of me being a queen, my mannerisms, my quick wit & my love for gay culture from Garland to Grindr. xoxo Holy McG.
