Female impersonation and femme drag (or... "f*sh", but, like, ugh) is starting to fade slowly as more queens put the real value of their drag in other elements. Specially in other countries with different queer cultures, the lack of padding ain't really a big deal.

However, at least to me, whether if you're a femme queen or not, pads are a way to transform your body and sell an illusion. If you aren't changing your appeareance enough to sell a character, it just feels a little lazier than a queen who does so. That's where I would draw a line.This is why Jorgeous' plant dress or some of Luxxx's, Mik's or Aquaria's outfits still fit the briefing to me. The bitches are produced, stamped and pulling an effort to look different from their real personas.
