    90% of drag queens still have to work a fulltime day job. Those that actually manage to turn it _into_ their day job are brilliant. Well done, Fena. It seems your name is popping up everywhere lately and you definitely deserve the recognition.

      @@wendybutler1681it’s more that the arts are treated like a marginally glorified hobby in the US. It’s incredibly difficult to make a full-time living as a performer of any type; no matter how money the production and venue is raking in, talent is rarely paid its worth.
