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

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 👍

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.

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
