Hiya folks, this week i had an email asking me how to become a drag act.

For me i always loved drag, Way before Cheryl ever even thought about donning a frock & heels the drag gene was running in the family in the guise of my nephew Danny Cher Bailey who was working in the birdcage with the fierce Miss Orry.

While i was in the viaduct every Sunday getting drunk watching the viaduct showgirls at the time Carla Jackson, Anna Glypta, Mindy LaWhore (The Dream Team) ask anyone about "I put a spell on you".

I had never really thought about doing drag until i was asked to be part of Drag Idol i suppose DCB knew i was a show off so with a little persuasion from him and my soon to be fairy drag mother Daisy Dupont.

Cheryl Hole was born & with a dodgy outfit & a bottle of bells whisky i came 4th in the competition then hung up the heels never to don a frock again! Nah fate had another plan for Cheryl Hole.

So how do you become a drag queen?

Easy have a showbiz nephew lol, seriously if i was to offer advice it would be

Get out there and see the shows see what people are offering and where you would fit in.

Get a good support base you need a good friend/partner that will be honest with you and tell you what works & more important what doesn't.

Choose a persona you can be a total bitch or a total sweetheart it’s entirely up to you but if you’re gonna be bad you have to be prepared to take what you dish out!.

Choose a look I've had soooo many looks and wasted so much cash on things that don't work its untrue but like anything you find out what works for you , However if you’re a big girl, big tip! You need big hair and big accessories.

Don't take it too seriously, it’s drag, It’s not glamorous & it can be very hard work.

My final words on drag, I love doing drag, I love the people I meet, the other drag acts you work aside & part of, I love watching new talent emerge such as Gisele Batrice and seeing others come alive onstage like Anjia Bach, So there you go that's this weeks HOLE truth done.
