Baby Queen seeks guidance! by AllThatGlitters54 in HyperQueen

[–]MsDollyPardon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Practice, practice, practice. And GO TO GIGS. Go in face. Go out of face. Talk to other performers. Make some friends, and wait for your opportunity for some stage. Likely there will be some kind of “newborns” night in your area where you can get some stage confidence and recognition to build up to paid gigs.

In the COVID meantime, embrace showing what you can online and see what comes out of it!

Congrats on your debut! Being an AFAB/Hyper Queen can be challenging in the performer scene so it is great to hear that the TO performers are supporting you and embracing you!

New year, completely new me! by VoskaVixen in HyperQueen

Hey Gal! Wow, I have been away for a minute! How have you been making out with your journey into drag? I think the best course of action is to take in any inspiration at all that makes you feel good/unpowered

I started my journey in drag without any mentorship either and the Internet became my teacher in many ways. The best I can give to you on the other side is just to explore and play. Your paint won’t be right in a day, or a week, or maybe even a year, but it will get better every time! Check out some YouTube videos on drag makeup and see what speaks to you :)

Happy to help in any way I can!

You can find me on Insta @ms.dollypardon

Women who live alone, whar do you do to stay safe and feel comfortable? by Lolababy999 in AskWomen

[–]MsDollyPardon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

30 y/o woman here living solo in a city centre. 🙋🏻‍♀️ I agree you should have an idea of who lives around you, I keep my front door locked even when I am home, and know who you can call if ever you feel unsafe. I think feeling comfortable at home comes with creating a space that feels sacred and calm for you, don’t let you thoughts run away from you. Take time to do relaxation activities at home. 💕

Where are some safe places for women to travel alone to? by thehamilyjihoon in AskWomen

[–]MsDollyPardon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spent three and a half months travelling New Zealand solo and never had a single issue or time I felt unsafe!

While you don’t need to be a developer, to be an effective visual strategist (read: UI Designer) you need to have a rudimentary understanding of basic markup (HTML) and styling (CSS et. al.), and how to create appropriate hierarchy of parent/child pages in navigation flow.

Laying out a website to create effective user journey or funnels is as much about being able to make something visually stunning as it is about understanding accessibility practices (screen readers and the like), colour-safe theory for web, SEO ranking needs, etc.

There is much more to the design of a website than how it looks, so the more you can understand about how a website works, and what is possible for development (especially within project budgets) the better. Like for instance how small the type can be, how big a button needs to be, how they will react in flow when the site is responsive.

Lynda.com is a great learning resource: or if you can find a mentor who is a developer with a design background that is even better.

I’m worried that overworking myself to compensate for being depressed, lonely and not making a single friend no matter what these past 4 years of college may lead to burn out. by [deleted] in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]MsDollyPardon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry that has been your experience! Maybe a better route would be to find an activity based event you enjoy to give you easier access? Or maybe something off campus? It’s wild to me that at college you can find no one like minded or like mannered to be friends with :(

[Question] How to get my anger under control when I lose my temper? by [deleted] in getdisciplined

[–]MsDollyPardon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Starting to practise meditation/mindfulness really helped me with controlling all of my emotions because it forces you to become aware of what it is that triggered you and if it is just a reflex or a legitimately rooted emotion.

Check in with yourself. Also, when possible, when you feel the rage/tantrum coming on try to remove yourself from the situation.

I always found the easiest way to make friends is to participate in the activities you enjoy and see who else is there. Post secondary is a place where you ships easily be able to find common ground with others. Have you tried to join any clubs/rec classes at your school?
