When I started doing drag Myspace was THE social media brand. Everyone had a Myspace. I knew right off the bat that if I was going to have any sort of a legitimate drag career I’d need to have a separate page for both my drag and mundane personalities. From the get go I knew I didn’t necessarily want all my drag peeps up in my personal business. Now, in the world of Facebook, my feelings haven’t changed. I have two Facebook pages: my personal, non-drag page, and Freddy’s page. I have very few drag people on my personal page, and I like it that way.
In this age of Twitter, Facebook, Tumbler, Google+ and yes, even good old Myspace, social media has become THE method for self-promotion and networking. Facebook has done wonders for the drag world. Entertainers have been able to network across the country and talk to show directors and promoters in different states. Pageants and shows can get state-wide attention. When you stop to think about how different things are from a decade ago, it really does boggle one’s mind.
