TOTALLY HECTIC Tailor Maid

Hello readers what’s been happening? I know it’s been awhile since I’ve caught up with you all but I’m back in my rightful place among these little sheets. Yes I might of missed last episode of GNI magazine because the last few months have been totally hectic in my little world. Between my day job at BPerfect, teaching makeup, drag gigs and hosting events. It has been a mental few months. Oh yea and filming a tv show all at the same time it’s been hard to find any spare time to give to my thoughts never mind jotting them all down for you to read.

One of my biggest obstacles in life is that I have far too many interests, and I don’t like sacrifice opportunities in any of them. However, I’m very thankful to be provided space to shine in everything that I do, and I hate to let anyone down. So I say yes to nearly everything and worry about the “how” later.

You’ve heard me say this before, but I really struggle sometimes with managing a crazy work schedule, personal life and having time to relax.

As a matter of fact right now, at this moment, I’m sat in a hotel room in London, just after a sell out one hour live QVC show for BPerfect and I would class this as “relaxing time” even though I have a deadline and it’s a work evening, that’s how little time I actually have to switch off.

So let’s do a quick summary of the past few months to get you up to speed. I obviously I can’t fit everything in but I’ll give you the general jist of what’s been happening.

My drag gigs really kicked up a gear from July last year and I now have a residency in Happy Endings in Dublin, which is a gorgeous fusion restaurant that hosts amazing drag branches every Saturday, and I host at least 3 a month. I really find this fits my schedule and performance style and gives me a new fresh batch of 120 people to entertain each Saturday.

debuted in December on the tele. It was a really fun snapshot episode that gave the audience a glimpse into our wee world in the lead up to the busiest time of year. As well as catching everyone up on our storylines from the main show.

If you haven’t seen #MUIB catch it on BBC IPlayer now!

Up coming GIGs

This year I am levelling up. I know I mention this a lot, but I really like to build on what I’ve achieved and constantly strive to be better. This year ain’t no different. I am going on tour in May with a certain Drag Race Queen. (Can’t mention their name yet).

I have been booked to perform and co host at Salford Pride, which I’m really looking forward too. I will also be back with the crew at Cruz 101 in Manchester to celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day in March!

I have work trips away to Italy, Cyprus and Dubai all before the summer and I might be bringing Tailor along with me. All of this, as well as my normal Brunch gigs in HAPPYS . I will also be back in Belfast performing some brunches at Margot and the Boneyard. Keep an eye on my socials to find out where I’ll be.

I have been performing a lot in Dublin, and to be honest, I love it because I get to travel which I love to do, as well as entertaining new audiences and work with a whole batch of new talented queens. On the 1st of December I had and amazing opportunity to perform in the George in Dublin with the iconic Veda Lady, and the POZ VIBE crew for world AIDS Day officially coming out as HIV positive Performer. This was a powerful moment for me, as it meant a lot to finally share something that has been a big part of my journey. I even won an award, I am Miss Undetectable 2023. Hold for applause! Ha ha! More about this to come in a later issue.

Made Up In Belfast

Before I go, I just want to wish the whole crew at GNI a BIG HAPPY 60TH EDITION! Here’s to many more!

Loads of love , Tailor xoxo
