Meet and Greet
octubre 27, 2017
So. This is Sasha Velour, one of my favorite drag queens of all time (albeit a short one), and I got the chance to meet her a couple of weeks ago. Needless to say, it was awesome!
Not only is she kind and fierce (and her husband is super nice and friendly too!) but she is artistic and a wonderful lipsync-er. Whenever I see her perform I get chills (no, it's not a figure of speech) and being able to witness that firsthand was a privilege.
But another thing happened that night which made me so happy. Since the M&G was not very rushed (not like we got to drink tea and eat biscuits, but chill enough), we got to talk for a bit and one of the first things she said to me was "oh my god, you're gorgeous!" and on top of fangirling like crazy, it also made me think about how happy I am of finally feeling like my appearance matches my inner image.
I am not going to pretend like I'm finally the person I want to be and I'm not going to change ever again, nor that the very quest of finding one's "own true self" is not ridiculous in itself (albeit an inevitable part of human existence), but as I have gone through periods of so much self-loathing and angst over not being good enough it feels good to look in a mirror or pictures like this and think, yep, that's exactly what I was going for. The hair, the glasses, the clothing, even the boobs and my body; it's all looking like I want it to and it just feels awesome, empowering.
PS. Sasha is so stunning I swear as I was looking at her in the eye I couldn't believe how lucky I was being able to hang with her. OH, BOY!
