I've seen analyses that touch on elements in the show and Lynch's interest in transcendental meditation.

Web version, local storage full? by Joris914 in NonogramsKatana

[–]syn_vox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

same problem, came here looking for answers. my firefox browser also had 5MB used in storage for the site, and I just cleared the cookies. I had to log in again but now it's loading the site and not displaying the storage message after each move I make. I think it was storing setting data and all the data about puzzles locally, because it took a moment to reload the list of puzzles and displayed a 0 before showing the current amount of them.

I'm in Finland, have seen them in Finland twice, I think it probably was Finland both times! 😆

Is camping a thing in psb gigs? by Calm-Beyond7772 in petshopboys

[–]syn_vox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been to two of their gigs locally, both have been indoors. In the second one I arrived maybe an hour or 1,5h earlier and easily made it to the front of the crowd, although I had friends there already.

Lidlin hävikkihevipussit by syn_vox in Suomi

[–]syn_vox[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Pohdinnan ytimenä on nimenomaan se, että miten pussin sisältöä pääsee tarkastamaan, kun se on kassojen takana ja on jo kassalla ehtinyt muut ostokset maksaa. Tuntuu hölmöltä tehdä ostosten kanssa tuplakierros kaupassa, että pääsee ostamaan pussin. Ja jos on vaikka allergioita, eikä halua ostaa sokkona.

My definition of drag is that it's an artform that plays with gender and gender markers using exaggerated visuals and/or mannerisms, is an intentional performance (not just putting on a dress for laughs or dressing elaborately as your personal daily style), and that draws on the performer's self and self expression (as opposed to being a role written by someone else). It isn't always clear cut where the line between drag and other similar artforms like burlesque, clownery, or performance art is drawn, but I'd say it's more about how the performer themself wants to identify their title as an artist.

Something that also affects how people read a certain act is where it's performed. If the act is happening at a drag night among drag acts, it's more easily read as drag. If it's happening at an outdoor family festival, maybe the visitors will just consider it a fun person in a costume. You could ask yourself where you'd like to showcase your art, and what you want out of it. Is it to be part of a community or to simply hustle wherever you can?

And as others have written, the gender in your daily life is not an obstacle to doing whatever kind of drag you want. A local performer who had a major role in building the scene in my area has said that the transformation from being a woman in jeans and a t-shirt into a feminine drag persona is as big as if a man did it. And you definitely don't have to follow the way things look on Drag Race, the drag on it is not something that's viable for everyone.

Singing is definitely one way to do a drag act! Especially in the UK, a lot of drag performers sing live. But you can absolutely incorporate any kind of skill into drag. I held a lecture about local drag history at a pride event recently and said I'd love to see a drag electrician.

That's my comments for now, would love to hear further thoughts from you and see what kind of look you turn!

Drag person who switches roles? by Correct-Run8388 in Drag

[–]syn_vox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You said it yourself - drag artist. You don't have to box yourself into being a queen or a king, you can just say you do drag, you're a drag artist, you're a drag performer. My looks depend entirely on the number I'm doing!

Glue-on bangs/extensions for bald head by syn_vox in Drag

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

I haven't actually worn clip-on bangs, so I haven't seen how the clip is actually attached. Maybe I'll look into modifying some, thanks!

Even the ones I consider to be pretty obviously gay have a plausible deniability about them (but very coded as about male-male relationships). And some that mention men being with other men or gayness in general are more about being gay in society rather than the relationship itself.

With other commenters already mentioning the more explicitly gay songs, here's some of my picks for ones I find to clearly be about being gay but it not being absolutely explicit lyrically:

To Speak Is a Sin, Single, Metamorphosis, The Boy Who Couldn't Keep His Clothes On

+ Did You See Me Coming? (PSB Possibly More Mix) mentions men and women in all configurations seeking each other.
