In life there will always be
people who rub your tits the wrong way.
Not being shy to air my shit list on my blog when it comes to
homophobes, I am somewhat hesitant to do so when a member of the LGBT community
ends up on it. But when that said member
decides to slander me all over the interwebs and compares me to a dog’s
offspring that hesitation somewhat dissipates and I am then more inclined to
take a bitch down. Unfortunately, due to
pesky legal reason, I will not be mentioning names, but suffice to say it is a
cock in a frock from an unfortunate side of Johannesburg. So sit back and let me tell you about the
Drag Queen who lost her mind. This is my side of the story.
First, I do feel the need to tell
you that I don’t have a problem with drag queens. They are the backbone of our LGBT culture and
they were the ones who are the true heroes of Stonewall. I love and respect them as all homosexuals
should. However, of late I have been perturbed
by the standard of queens who are coming onto the scene. Guys who think that by painting their faces
with makeup, getting into a cheap dress and putting on a pair of stilettos makes
them drag queens.
The same guys who have no
self-awareness when they look into the mirror and fail to see that they are
nothing but a cock in a frock with a wig, atrociously done makeup and have the
uniqueness, nerve and talent of a cat’s coughed up fur ball. They are an insult to true drag artists. Artists who work hard at their craft, always
seeking to improve themselves and humble enough to realize that they will
always be a work in progress and perfection will always elude them, thereby
motivating them to try harder and be better.
Unfortunately, the drag queen I am telling you about today is NOT one of
those artists.
This whole nightmare started when I first realized that this drag queen, who calls herself a "social blogger" was on my Facebook friend list. I learned this when she started incessantly adding me to her
Facebook group which she also refers to as her "blog". I would leave the group
only to find that I was added again the next day. It annoyed me. This continued until I finally discovered the
“leave group and prevent people from
adding you” function. Then a couple
of weeks later she inboxed me after I posted comments on another terror in a
dress’s obscene comments about another drag artist. She told me she thought the terror in drag
was a horrible human being and that she was a ghastly drag artist and for some
bizarre reason insisted that I know that she only “interviewed” her on her group because it was business and that she doesn’t
like her or is friends with her. At the
time I thought it was rather odd, but left it at drag queen rivalry. In retrospect this should have been my first warning sign.
This queen thinks she is the
Oprah of the drag world. She also thinks
that she is a “social blogger”
because she has a Facebook group with 99% of the people on it having been added
by her, as she tried to add me. And as
for the “interviews” they are nothing
but a cookie cutter template, sometimes moderately adjusted, which she then
sends to her “interviewees” to
complete themselves (which takes a fucking long time) and on completion is
copied and pasted, without being edited, onto her group; effectively having the
interviewee doing all the work. She also
sometimes takes the liberty of adding a few things to the interviewee’s “interview” mostly singing her own
praises. Hardly something Oprah would
do.
I had the unfortunate experience of being “interviewed” by her (the drag queen not Oprah) and in retrospect I am appalled that I did. I had to correct her spelling mistakes and grammar in her questions, which is not very professional of her. Also, she claims to do extensive research on her interview subjects, yet from reading some of her interviews it is clear that she doesn't understand what research is. I have also reliably learned that several actual celebrities blew this queen off and declined to be interviewed by her due to the poor standard of her interviews and the fact that they found it hard to take this drag queen seriously. I mean honestly, you just need to look at her profile pictures: A man in a sleeveless dress, farmer tan lines on his arms, badly done makeup, mustache stubble and a wig that looks like road kill.

The final straw that broke the
camel’s back and the cause that started this childish gay feud was when this
drag queen plagiarized one of my friends humor pieces and made it out to be her
own on her group. I called her out by
linking the original piece to the plagiarized post. The bitch flipped her lid and I received
almost 20 messages in under 5 minutes.
You can ask any blogger – plagiarism is the one thing that really
fucking makes us irate. But then a week
later, after I have severed all ties with this queen and her group I learned
from a fellow blogger that the queen’s Facebook was hacked and that the queen
blamed me.
At this point I started to feel
somewhat victimized. Being accused of
hacking someone’s social media is a serious allegation, yet she made it without
any proof or facts. It was also at this
point when I started to realized that I was not dealing with someone who is
rational and that she must be a few eggs short of a dozen. But I let it slide. Almost a month past and I completely put that
bad experience behind me and moved on but, then the bitch reappeared and it was
to a certain extend my own fault. You
see I get send dozens of funny pictures by the fans on my fan page, most of
which I post. So I received this meme
picture of a rather unfortunate looking drag queen with a caption which I
thought was funny. So I posted it and then
all hell broke loose.
You see the meme was of this
queen and I didn’t recall ever seeing the photo the person used who made the
meme. I did not realize it was her, but apparently that pic was one of her profile pictures. The drag queen completely lost her shit. She send me a message asking what the fuck
was wrong with me and instructed me to take it down. Or. Else. Apparently the caption that read "Worst Halloween Costume... Ever" really pissed her off as she was proud of that picture and actually thought she looked good. But that is the thing about good taste and class - not everyone has it!
The queen was rude, as she normally is, and then she showed her true colors. She again started accusing me of hacking her Facebook account and then proceeded to make a meme of me comparing me to a dog’s offspring and wrote, amongst other derogatory things, that I was “a disgrace to human kind”. Personally, I felt she was being childish and that she was/is mentally unstable. I decided not to involve myself with this drag queen’s rants who clearly was going off her rocker. I decided not to delete the picture, nor did I ask her to delete the meme she made of me. I thought that if it made her feel better to slander me then so be it and I left it at that. At the end of the day Facebook removed both pictures.
Over the weekend I learned that this drag queen decided to publish an article on her Facebook group stating her side of the story. Delusional as she is, she wrote that everything contained in this blog post are lies. She also accused me of being a cyber bully and obviously did not want me to see the article. Unfortunately for her, one of my readers emailed me the article and I had a few giggles when I read it. But I saw it for what it was and decided it is not worth my time or my readers time to again get involved in a "he said, she said" fiasco and gay melodrama.

The drag queen is
still slandering me on her social media, like I really give a shit what she thinks
of me. There is much to say about class
and dealing with things in a mature manner which in her case leaves much to be
desired. She seems to be desperate and somewhat of a megalomaniac as such this queen made it onto my
shit list. “Why can’t the gays not just get along?” I hear desperately echoing
from Gay HQ. Well, I guess we cannot get
along with everybody, now can we.
Till next time.
