Here is my article in Odyssey Magazine that is on the stands right now! I added some events that I wasn't able to mention in the article at the time.
Check it out and mark your calendars!
--------
Hello my loves, what a couple of weeks we have been having! Rain, earthquakes, uprisings and RuPaul! HAHA! Well, those are some events aren’t they?! I have been so busy working on a project that is taking me to Houston next month I haven’t had time to for myself! But I have been working on some articles that I will be posting on my blog in a few days so stay tuned.
I guess the main thing on my mind lately is the concept of staying in tune with yourself. I mostly write this article for my fellow queens out there, but this is for everyone. Staying in tune to yourself is listening to your inner voice and knowing what you feel is real. We have a tendency to talk ourselves out of things because of what others may think or that e don’t wanna seem too weird. We are drag queens honey; we take a step of courage everytime we walk out of the house. So listen to that inner voice next time. Take the time to tell someone what you feel, do it with love and see where you path takes you. I got more in my article coming up.
What else is going on around LA that Miss Barbie-Q recommends you may ask?
