The “Chappell Roan loving drag is performative” discourse is so fucking exhausting. Literally just say you’re sexist. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had my love of drag and “qualifications” questioned simply due to my gender.
Did a test swatch using my new rhinestone pattern tool I custom designed. This is about 6 pattern repeat tiles worth!
The fabric is still pliable and not stiff which is what’s the most important to me
Tonight’s the big night!
Opening reception 6-9pm
142 Commercial St. Provincetown
I’ll be there in drag as well as barking on the street before the show! ✨
Omg a hit tweet. Check out my fashion design work! I rhinestone and design custom textiles (both printed and hand-painted); and my work revolves around drag. And Chappell it’s my dream to design something for you ❤️
@dragqueenjp
serving CUNTmmunion tonight by me ❤️
100% self-drafted pattern, hand-dyed rayon challis, hand-beaded blood, fully lined bustier, crown of thorns made from real branches, hand-pricked zipper, 4 rhinestone colors in multi sizes.
Close up of my rhinestone party hat! ✨
Idk how many crystals I used but I hand-painted all the polka dots. I also made it out of fabric because I wanted it to be more durable than paper since this is going in the archive for years to come
Stil thinking about when Ru said to Mhi’ya “why did you put a zipper in? It’s stretch fabric” while she was wearing a high neck bodysuit for the design challenge. Yes Ru let her squeeze her entire body in through the neck hole. That will work 👍
Omg you guys. I just found out I’m going to get to live my lifelong dream of walking the streets of Ptown in drag to promote my show and hand out postcards 😭😭😭😭😭 I am SO excited but also scared for the weather lol
Like it makes me want to weep. It feels so good to finally have the success I’ve always wanted but it’s so overwhelming all at once. It was stressed to me many times this weekend how monumental and rare it is to immediately sell out a debut show.
My gallery show is almost sold out and it’s only been open for 2 days. AAHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Only 4 out of the 11 are left. Also I got 3 commissions for other sculptures today. 🥹
It’s actually mega fucked up we aren’t allowed to make anything over a size 4 in school; and we’re not allowed to make clothes for ourselves; but some of the girls in my class are size 4 and under so they can technically wear what they make which isn’t fair at all
Posting these to IG next week but I can’t wait, so here
Sequin wig by me! 100+ yards of sequin trim, all hand sewn to the cap + individually finished ends to keep them from sliding off
This is your reminder to come to legacy tonight to see how hot and sexy and sparkly I look in real life. My 2 30 inch human hair bundles and bra-less boobs and I are ready.
Sir Isaac Newton was only 23 when he discovered the law of gravity. And Laura Plad was only 24 when she got asked to make her art gallery debut in Ptown during the busiest time of year 😌
My life pretty much changed forever last week and while it’s such a blessing to have a career jumpstart like this, I’m also fully a ball of anxiety over everything 24/7
Sharing the construction details because I feel like a lot of people don’t know how much work I put into garments like these! Also this is a new version of a garment I made last semester
5 years ago today Shawn and I met Chad Michaels in the alley behind Machine and Shawn told her how much he loves Drag Race and Chad said “don’t let it rot your brain”
