If you really want to pull off a convincing drag, you have to model yourself after a specific female personality. Most guys choose a woman who is “fearless and fierce,” such as Madonna, Cher, Barbara Stresand, or more contemporarily, Lady Gaga. Having an objective in mind when you start the process can help formulate a more convincing female persona, and the best part is the fashion sense tends to be built right in!
So, if you’re just starting out, choose a woman. A famous one whom you admire. You don’t have to look like her per se, but try to adopt her attitude, her mannerisms, and most especially her confidence. Once you understand what’s driving your female side, the fine strokes – what makeup to wear, clothes to buy, etc. will come a lot more naturally.
