Bottom Power!

Got a text from one of my bffs this morning:

He was of course referencing the new Willam, Detox, and Vicky Vox music video Boy is a Bottom:

 

For those of you who do not know, a bottom is a man who is... well on the bottom during sexual intercourse with another man. 

I had only learned within the last year that you can tell which gay men are bottoms and which men are tops (at least for the most part). Yes it is another form of stereotyping in a sense, but this is also how gay men pick their mates. Bottoms will be attracted to tops and vice-versa. 

Usually, a gay man who is a bottom is more feminine and perhaps more flamboyant and the fishier drag queens would be perceived as bottoms as well. But again it is a stereotype. 

Now a Power Bottom (as my friend in the text called me, take it as you will) is a man who may be a bottom, but still is in control during sex. 

Whether you are a top, a bottom, or a fierce power bottom, you betta WERKKKK!

Don't Be a Drag, Just be a Queen!

I have seen the fiercest women in the world. The ones who are loud and proud. Who have the utmost confidence. Who can dance around in six-inch heels and never fall. Whose main goal in life is to bring a smile to the faces of others. Who technically aren’t even women. They are artists, performers, and inspirers. They are strong and they never take shit from anyone. They are drag queens.

You might ask how exactly a drag queen can inspire a straight girl. But I believe that a drag queen is the kind of woman I aspire to be. No, I don’t desire to wear tall wigs, sparkly clothing and layers of dramatic makeup (though it is fun to dress up occasionally). I want to have the confidence and charisma drag queens posses. Yes, they are men in dresses and other tight clothing, but they are much more than that. They struggle on a daily basis with having to constantly explain to ignorant people their lifestyle. There have been horror stories of these men being mistreated because they do drag. And yet they continue to push through because they are doing what they love and they feel is right for them.

So even though I am just your typical fruit-fly  (A woman who mostly hangs out with gay men) I have always felt like gay men were the only people I have ever truly fit in with. They are kind, open-minded, and always expressive and I always feel welcomed when I am in their presence. 

Since I attend drag shows almost every Thursday night, I have many stories to tell and experiences to share. Hope you enjoy!
