My blog was granted media press passes to RuPaul's Drag Convention. Dress suit c/o Style We.

My blog was luckily chosen to work as press at RuPaul’s Drag Con in L.A. this year. ♥

RuPaul’s Drag Race is my absolute favorite T.V. show of all time. It combines everything in life that I love from fantasy, makeup, and beauty to pop culture, liberation, and performance! The convention exuded those exact loving vibes as well. It is a place of complete positive thinking and invites children with open arms. There was a large area in the convention center where children could play with toys, get in a bounce house, and even enjoy story time read by a drag queen!

Robbie Turner was personally one of my favorite queens to talk to. ♥ She recommended I watch the Barbra Streisand movie her outfit references.

I have not seen Isabel Hendrix since 2014 when I was working with Miracle Eye. It was so nice to see a familiar face from the blogging community!

Here is the legendary Britney Spears impersonator Derrick Barry with my mom. Derrick actually stood right next to me in the press room and was very kind to speak to. She seems like a good person at heart. 🙂 (sadly my photo with her turned out very blurry </3 it happens)

This girl was my favorite fashionista to meet at the event, Miss. Caitlin! She hand makes her own knit collection in Brooklyn. She is very hip and I love her designs. I bought myself two bows and my mom got some pom-pom clips for her hat. ♥ You can shop her items at farradasknits.com

I took these shots from above in the press room. As you can see, MANY people attended. Over 40,000 to give you an idea. It was quite organized despite the mass numbers of people!

Queen @Fagenstein! I loved their iconic name and look! They’re a pretty interesting person, be sure to check out their instagram ♥

Here is my mom with her very favorite drag queen Morgan McMichaels 🙂

I had the honor of photographing Terra Jolé!

This queen was difficult to get a picture of because she was on HUGE stilts. Honestly THE scariest and most shocking costume there. I remember just turning around and feeling so stunned. Her stilts were really creaky too which added to the spookiness!

I added a widget at the bottom of this post regarding my hair and makeup products I used for this event. I highly recommend checking out NYX’s glitter primer!

I got to meet one of my favorite queens, Ginger Minj. I fell in love with her when I saw her perform at Beach Goth last year. ♥ She is truly a spectacular entertainer!

My mom and I had an amazing and unforgettable time at RuPaul’s Drag Con this year! I plan to attend and work as press every year if I can. Next time I am coming with ALL of my equipment so I can take gorgeous high quality beauty shots of the queens. Who knows, maybe I will get lucky enough to go out to NYC for the con planned this September. Check out their website to stay updated with details. ♥

Thank you for the support!
