God forbid the man want to be paid.

…yeah, I mentioned that a little while ago in a thread…how high the financial cost of drag with the costumes and especially competing at such a high level as Drag Race…I think that there are only relatively few Queens that make a good income and maybe get great sponsor deals as well…a lot of the Drag Race challenge prizes are for wigs/make up etc which will help also…

….but yeah, an average of around £25,000 - £30,000 expense for costumes for a UK drag race contestant is the sum that I’ve often seen mentioned …I’m not sure for an American one or any of the other countries…
