Okay, cool.

(instrumental music)

- Today we are dressing up as men.

- I've never heard of drag kings before.

- I'm just really excited about stuffing

and having just like a huge (bleep)

- I don't know why I'm so uncomfortable

to dress as a guy and act as a guy.

- What if I'm hotter as a dude?

- I really want to know

how they're going to contour my face.

- My biggest issue is I'm wondering where my boobs

are going to go.

- Why do you think no one knows what drag king is?

- So drag is already a subculture of the traditional

gay/lesbian and trans community.

Drag queens are the more flamboyant, over the top,

they stand out in crowds more.

- There has been drag kings,

it's just not seen as a spotlight.

It's still a man's world in a way, it is,

even though they're dressed as women.

- What inspired you to start doing drag?

- I've been dancing since I was three.

They always made me do the girl side

and I was looking at the guys and what they were doing.

- How did you learn all the make up skills?

- The university of U2. A lot of homework.

- I was born as a woman biologically, so I still do

what I have to do to be a drag king.

- It's just this alter ego,

like amplified persona of yourself.

- [Havok] It's whatever you're feeling that day.

- When I was watching you, I was like,

I'm so turned on right now, this is insane.

- [Landon] You're welcome.

- With the boobs, where do they go?

- Under your armpit.

- They don't go there.

- There's a technique, they'll get there.

- This is my goal: my boyfriend is going to be in the crowd.

I want to get him so sexually confused.

It's going to be great.

I think I can do it. - I'm in, I'm in.

- All right, we're doing it.

(electronic music)

- Two hours until we slay these bitches.

- Do you fix my, make my eyebrows more like manly?

- Yes. - Okay.

- Men have more top brow than women,

so yours goes a little bit higher.

- I feel like I'm really out of my own right now.

- This is what my mustache is going to be made out of.

- This is so awesome.

- [Candage] How does it feel to have chest hair?

- You're looking pretty manly right now, for sure.

- Such attention to detail, I love it.

- I feel like I just have a bunch of pubes glued to my face.

- You look like a new human.

You look really cool, though.

- My biggest fear is that I'm gonna turn

into a 1970s porn star.

- Luckily I'm not too boobaged.

- These are going to be gone.

- Wait, what do you do again?

- I get preferably duct tape

and I take strips of it and I cover my nipples

with like bandaids or something and I just go back,

back and up, back and up, back and up.

- My penis!

I have my penis.

- Landon gave me an awesome dick.

It feels really cool.

It's like kind of sexually excited me.

- These...

I love being a guy.

- I have to figure out what my name is.

- [Phantom] You have to choose a name

that fits you, not just the one character you're doing.

- Okay, Just In.

- Ponds up her skirt so I thought you should know that.

- I really want to see myself.

When is this happening?

- It's weird because I have cramps right now

but I also can feel my dick. - Me too!

- So are you ready for this?

- Yes.

I'm scared.

- Three, two, one.

- Oh my God!

- Oh my God.

Wait, it looks like you gave me a different bone structure.

- Holy (bleep).

- Woah.

- I look like Ron Jeremy.

- Would I date myself?

Probably.

- What did you do?

- I didn't have many expectations

so this is really crazy.

- I look like an Abe Lincoln you'd want to (bleep).

- Oh my God, I really look like a dude.

(electronic music)

- Thank you, thank you.

- I'm so ready.

- Let's (bleep) do this.

(electronic music)

- Hello, everyone, welcome to BuzzFeed's

first Drag King Show.

(applause)

Please give it up for our first performer,

Phillip N. Cider.

- I have an entirely different face.

I didn't want Landon messing with my eyes,

and I didn't want to take off nail polish

and I'm still just 100% a dude.

- Interacting with the girls and like grinding on them

and putting my hat on them, that was so much fun.

- Once you get your sock in your pants,

you walk a different way.

It was really cool, I loved it.

- I was really, really nervous.

What I realize is it's just about elevating

parts of yourself that you really don't get to express

in everyday life.

- I could see the terrified look on my boyfriend's face

but it was awesome to watch it go from terror

to slightly impressed to like, totally impressed,

to actually having a lot of fun.

So much of it is just the way you look

and your body language and your eye contact.

Everyone acted like they've never seen glitter before.

I feel like I invented glitter when I did that.

- I thought it would be pretty easy but it's really hard

and it's really an art to act like this.

I think that Freddie Mercury is looking down on me

being like, "Okay, she has my blessing,

"she did a good job."

- I talked to the game about being a good-looking guy.

I can confidently say like yeah,

I would be a good-looking guy.

- I had so many girls come up to me

that they were so confused, like they didn't want to think

I was sexy.

I achieved my goal: I wanted to turn girls on and I did.

- This is by far, hands down, without a doubt

the most eye-opening adventurous thing I've done

in my entire life, not even like one of the.

No, it like is the.

- Mad love to all the drag kings.

You guys work your asses off and you made us look amazing.

You made us perform well.

We all felt like (bleep) hot-ass dudes.
