Tip your queens!
Between the economy, political discourse, and oversaturation of incredible RuPaul's Drag Race dolls around the globe, it's becoming very difficult for these girls to secure jobs.
While many Drag Race alum may be keeping everything cute on the surface, Salina EsTitties is letting everyone know what's really going on behind the scenes.
"I don't know if any girls are willing to admit it, but the RuGirls are struggling out in these streets. There's an oversurge of queens and not enough gigs at the moment. It's really hard for the girls to stay above water," EsTitties tells PRIDE.
Everyone knows social media is all smoke and mirrors, so EsTitties is reminding fans to not be confused by all of the glamour that people are posting online.
"[The struggle] may not be shown on Instagram. We can't let the kids know that, but that's the truth and the reality. There's no answer. I think it's just the economy and gay bars are struggling as a whole. There's definitely something happening."
Times may be tough, but nobody can keep a good queen down! EsTitties has plenty of projects in the works in the world of musical theater, podcasting, and even merchandise for the holidays. The powerhouse won't let these trying times get in the way of her pursuing her passions.
"I just urge that we keep on going out there regardless. They want us to shut down and not exist. That's not the case! Drag queens have never been the ones to be kept in a closet honey. We have to come out!"
For the ideal stocking stuffer, this lovable queen has released a hilarious ornament with partial proceeds benefitting the Los Angeles LGBT Center on The Pride Store.
