what is the origin of your drag name? 9besides the obvious fayye dunnaway (spelled that wrong)
I'm an avid online gamer. I'd say about 2/3 of my characters are female in any given game. I usually name them amusing, funny names which led me to using drag names as they're often quite funny and witty. I've been named Selophane Wrappa, Faelazao Funnybunny, Imah Debauchery (which I intently considered as my drag name), the list goes on.
I used the name Fayye Tality for quite a few of my characters. Everyone called me Fayye so it just sort of became second nature. I knew at that point that I wanted to be known as Fayye. I was *already* known as Fayye in gaming circles.
Dunrunaway just sort of popped into my head one day out of the blue. I wasn't thinking on this particular subject. It just came from no where.
I love Fay Dunaway. I love her beauty, her style and grace and definitely her acting talents. So it was an easy decision. I've been known as Fayye Dunrunaway since.
I saw Blanche Babcock’s WONDERFUL tutorial on her new Icy Metallic Drag look. I couldn’t help myself but to try this out immediately! The results are mixed. I like the overall look. But I needed to blend more. It’s uneven in places. I also didn’t shave, foundation or contour this one. It’s all about the eyes.
What is it like living in Mississippi and being gay and a drag queen?
It's not as bad as you might think. I live in the biggest city in Mississippi. Cities tend to be a bit more progressive in general. But even those of my friends who live in small towns, while dealing with 'those' looks and an occasional comment or two, don't have to fear for their lives every day while being openly gay.
That being said, there are places where I would NEVER let it be known that I'm gay for fear of my life. This is the same all over though.
I guess if I had to sum it up in one neat paragraph:
In my experience, Being gay in Mississippi is different only in extremity compared to other parts of the country. We deal with the same issues, the same bigotry and the same lack of civil rights that every other gay person in the country has to confront. Perhaps we have a bit more than our fair share, but it is found all over.
cadbury creme eggs or $50? LOL ;)
I'd choose $50 for sure! Then I could go to amazon.com and order a case of 48 Cadbury Creme Eggs! Hahaha.
You're uber fabulous && i love to read your blog. But, it can't be alll fabulosity, can it? Haha, that's not my question though. I want to know if you've ever gotten in trouble with the law:)
Thank you for the wonderful compliment! No, it's not all fabulosity by any means. The secret is to ONLY show the best of the best. Haha.
The worst I've ever done to be in trouble with the law was a parking ticket one time in 1994. And even that was a mistake. The meter was broken. :P I'm innocent and lawful. *halo*
what was your worst drag look and where did you go
Well, I don't really remember my worst drag look. But this is probably right up there!
Haha. I didn't go anywhere that night. Just me and the doggies at home.
What is the funniest thing you've ever done?
What was the worst place you've traveled to?
I lived in Millington, TN for a couple of months. It was HORRIBLE. I lived just outside the military base there with a couple of friend who were married. He was in the military at the time.
We had no car. Had to walk everywhere. Money was non-existent. The duplex we lived in was cramped, hot and infested with little crawlies from the apartment next door.
The plan was for me to get a job soon after I moved up. But my friend found out that he was being transfered out within in a month or two.
The whole area was scary and depressed. That's all I'm gonna say about it.
