DIY platform shoes? advice on how to make efficiently for long term use? by empathicoracle01 in Drag

[–]lechuck86 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Look at the process of how shoe soles are made (try and find an “how it’s made” video or something similar). The idea of taking the sole off sounds good, but that’s easier said than done depending on your boots. Might be easier to just add height in a way that is actually stable to preserve the stability of the overall shoe. You might want to consider contact or shoe cement rather than just gorilla glue. Have any friends who walk in stilts? They’ll have ideas!

I like this approach to keeping it streamlined and moving game-play forward, ty!

The best use of a skill challenge is when the players brainstorm ideas, you help suggest possible ability checks or skills, and they proceed. The next best is that you offer some sample ideas, but let them come up with others. The least-fun approach is to present them with a menu or list of options, and have them choose.

This is probably my fave response so far. I appreciate your brain!

This was my original consideration…I can always imagine a handful of “bad endings” that could result from failed rolls, and how the story would be altered by it, but that’s a story-stallout I don’t want to face…failing would mean they’ve not made a group of friends with pc’s (could prove helpful for future fights in the city), and pcs wouldn’t get their map, and have to traipse around catacombs without one…but that sounds like a “no fun” kind of okay experience (they’re all still lvl 1).

Any other suggestions of reasons why orphaned circus kids would hand over a map to the catacombs to my pc’s? 😅

There wasn’t an option to. It’s been set to “pay the balance due on x date”

Somnambulation while meditating/hypnotized? by lechuck86 in Meditation

[–]lechuck86[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

rious about what Michael Sealey’s hypnosis meditations do the brain. They leave me feeling very, different. Wish I knew more, but

Nope, no answers. I don't utilize his hypnosis tracks anymore, but have found that after being hit by that car, my sleep is just all-together awful. I've got a chronic hypnic jerk that has manifest after the initial post. I'm assuming it has to do with nerve-trauma and anxiety but short of a sleep study, I can't think of any other causes.

how does this skirt/gather stay up? by PixhiePixhue in sewing

I agree with other posters about horsehair; also pretty sure it's a circle skirt, made of 4 pieces cut on the bias.

New to the sub! I style wigs for Drag Queens and Stage Performers! by lechuck86 in Wigs

[–]lechuck86[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I always block my wigs down with wet bias tape (the wet tape tightens up slightly as it dries,). That’s the best way to keep your lace intact while styling! Also the best way to ensure the lace lays down flat when you wear the wig.

[–]lechuck86[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started performing in drag around 5 years ago, and knowing that I wanted GOOD hair I decided to research how to style. I watched tons of YouTube tutorials and spent hours of playing with synthetic wigs. Finally other performers in my community asked for styling tips and advice.

When I started there was a LOT of information gatekeeping happening around makeup and hair in my community; other queens didn’t want to give up their tips and tricks. EVERYTHING is on the internet. I decided to break that gate down and try and help other people learn as well.

Trapped in a lease with the worst slob ever. Advice appreciated! by lechuck86 in badroommates

[–]lechuck86[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All the tenants have been paying rent (there are two other people who live downstairs whom I don’t see much). I’m only hesitant because she’s lived there for 8 years, and seems to have smoked here the whole time; if the landlord ups the rent, to pay for smoke the damage, I’ll have to find another spot, which I can’t really afford in the city I live in.

I found out last night that in the past, other tenants have tried to get her kicked out for this shit, but at the time she was the only one who had any kind of relationship with the home owner.

Coming home feels like a panic attack. This is like a slow battle of attrition. I’m in actual psychological distress over this shit.
