And then of course there are all these other drag queens who I’ve met in the international drag business. If you say style and beauty, I always think of her. I’m also still inspired by Dita von Teese. I fell in love with his makeup and style. He was a really big inspiration for me, because he was doing this lolita drag thing, looking totally feminine, like a doll. He had a band in the nineties called Malice Mizer. I was very inspired by the Japanese visual kei and Gothic Lolita culture and Japanese guitarist Mana. What about the styles and people who inspired you? And suddenly when I made money with that, I thought, okay, if I make money from just giving drinks, how much money could I earn with a show or if I were DJing? So it started out like that, and now I’m a full-time drag queen. My first job was standing at the entrance of a party and giving the people free drinks or gifts or just talking with them and having fun. And people soon started to ask me what my drag name is, what’s my pefromance – things I didn’t have yet. So I went on with my makeup, and continued wearing dresses and wigs. I liked the style, they played a lot of 80’s music, a lot of gay music, and for me it was new because I came from the gothic and heavy metal world. Then I had a boyfriend, who introduced me to the gay party scene. I felt stronger and more confident with that mask on for a night, for a party. When I was about fifteen I really got into the goth scene: I had dark makeup on, pale white skin, dark black hair, and I started to put on more and more makeup and people really liked it. Who was your main inspiration? How did it start for you? It was kinda easy because for a drag queen his makeup is really natural. Sooner or later we just had to meet, so one time I did his makeup for a photoshoot for an Austrian magazine. He’s also living in Vienna and the gay party scene there, especially the drag scene, isn’t too big. How did that happen? Are you two friends? I was with Conchita Wurst at the Eurovision Song Contest in Copenhagen, I was responsible for his makeup. I did shows all over Europe, from Paris to London, in Germany and all over Austria, too. I’m performing as a burlesque dancer, partygirl, DJ and singer. Tamara Maskara is a drag queen from Vienna, Austria who’s been doing drag for ten years. We’ve sat down with the Austrian Queen of Drag and talked his image, his self-discovery and the Budapest party.Ĭan you talk about Tamara Maskara? Who is she? His next show will be the one at G3 Klub on the debut party of The Garden of Eden, an event series evoking a lush enchanted forest atmosphere every month at the downtown venue. There will be exclusive 3D light paintings, a mind blowing set design with no less than 20 custom-made statues, and go-go dancers everywhere! The main attraction of the night, of course, will be Viennese DJ-drag queen, Tamara Mascara, who has made a name for himself with his entertaining and spectacular burlesque shows, having set foot in all the big gay clubs of Europe. It’s always exciting news when the pulsating Hungarian gay nightlife scene grows another branch: the brand new party series of G3 Klub will start off on 27 February with international special guest Tamara Mascara!
