HOW TO BE THE TASTIEST TRANNY

…for success at Carpet Burn’s Tastiest Tranny Ball!

1.     If you’ve never done drag before (and you know you wanna) THIS is the event to squeeze into them heels and bring it. You can use the excuse that it’s all for charity. I would like to say that no one is gonna judge you but, honey, it’s a competition, and with a £1,000 up for grabs there is gonna be some judging!

2.     You don’t need to lose your beard fellas, we love to see Butch Queen First Time in Drags at the Ball… big blokes in dresses are funny… end of. However, if you wanna serve femme realness that facial hair has to go gurl!

3.     Primark and Peacocks are drag heaven, full of cheap items and endless accessories. If you can’t face the idea of shopping for lady clothes just pretend you’re a stylist for a woman’s mag and browse those shelves with confidence.

4.     Make-up may look easy but it’s a bitch to apply and takes some artistic skill. If you can, get someone with experience to help apply your huge tranny lashes otherwise that’s gonna be one oogie mess. If all else fails consider a mask.

5.     Heels ‘n’ Hair make all the difference, you just feel so much better when you are towering above the competition. Men’s sized heels are easily acquired from eBay but if you can slip into a size 8 you have the whole of Shoe Express at your feet, as it were. Check Brixton Market or Afro World in Dalston for wigs; they are quite nonplussed about selling to men so buying their multi-layered ‘Beverly’ wig will not be a trauma.

Have fun and remember it’s all for charity, apart from the £1,000 prize, that’s for you honey, and that hot pair of Balenciagas you’ve had you tranny eye on!

 

With love,
Jackie K & Dawn O
