Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Everything nobody hands you before your first eight minutes onstage. From a hostess who has done sixteen years of them.Vera Notions has spent sixteen years hosting Friday nights at Belfast's Velvet Yard, working out in public and by trial most of what is in this book. She wrote down the whole of it: how to build a persona from nothing, paint a face that reads from the back wall, wrestle a wig into behaving, put a costume together without remortgaging anything, get through a lip-sync like you mean it, survive a heckler, and ask a promoter for your first booking without it reading like a hostage note.This is not a book about one narrow idea of drag. It covers camp, glamour, pageant, horror, club kid and gender-expansive styles, with honest starter budgets, real troubleshooting, and safety guidance written to be followed rather than skipped.Inside this book: - A full persona-to-first-booking curriculum across 38 chapters, with checklists and a 30-day starter plan- A beginner makeup kit you can actually afford, and real technique for foundation, contour, eyes, lashes and brows- Wigs, padding, tucking, binding and corsetry explained with clear safety limits, never treated as compulsory- Stagecraft, lip-syncing, crowd work and hosting, built from real dressing-room experience- The unglamorous parts: money, boundaries, burnout, drag families and staying bookable- A full glossary and Vera's Ultimate Drag Bag packing listFor anyone who has ever thought about it, and for the beginner standing exactly where Vera once stood: no plan, no training, and a want stronger than any qualification for having it.Pick a name. Pick a song. Put something on your face. Get out there. Armstrong, Kasey (illustratore).…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Twenty years ago a boy died, and the whole city agreed on what happened.Tonight, somebody was finally going to say otherwise.He didn't survive the interval. Friday nights at The Velvet Yard belong to Vera Notions: the sharpest host in Belfast, known offstage as oral historian Rory Kavanagh. Vera can read a room down to the last nervous laugh. Tonight the room needs reading. Celebrity podcaster Theo Byrne has booked the Yard to record a live episode about Naoise Devlin - seventeen years old, dead at a Belfast nightlife event in the summer of 2006, investigated for eleven days and then left alone for twenty years. Before the break, Theo promises two hundred people that he will come back on and say exactly what happened to that boy. He never comes back on. They find him in a storage room off the back corridor, and the word suicide reaches the room well ahead of the facts. The police are kind, and careful, and in no hurry. Rory is none of the three. He was standing three feet away when the boy's name landed, and he watched four people in that audience stop breathing. Now the note reads wrong, the recorder is missing, and two days after Theo Byrne died somebody quietly went into his account and deleted a file. Rory has spent fifteen years collecting other people's stories, and he already owes one back. Following this one takes him from the Yard's back corridor to a retired doorman's front room, a Tuesday-night drop-in behind a painted-over window, and a glass tower on the waterfront where a man has spent twenty years paying for a version of events and getting exactly what he paid for. Inside this book- A detective whose weapon is attention, not forensics - crowd work is interrogation with better lighting- A double-timeline mystery: one fresh body, one twenty-year-old lie, every clue in plain sight- A Belfast of wet cobbles, glass towers and one cabaret bar with a dented black door- A cast who look after their own, because for a long time nobody else was going to- Book 1 of the Vera Notions Mysteries. Complete in itself, with the next case already in his inboxFor readers of Richard Osman, Holly Stars and Benjamin Stevenson, and for anyone who knows the best seat in the house is the one facing the door. Take your seat. Hold your applause.…
