Final Project Outline

I am profiling drag entertainer Steven Dunn, who performs under the stage name Alexis Stevens.

Thus far, I scheduled my first interview with Steven for May 15, but it had to be rescheduled for May 17 at 4pm due to work issues.

Other sources that Steven has indicated I should interview would be his brother Dennis and a couple of her friends in the drag world. I'm going to get contact information and orient questions based on my first interview with Steven.

Questions I plan to ask Steven:

1. Name
2. Age
3. What do you do for a living?
4. What drew you to that line of work?
5. Where did you grow up?
6. Why did you decide to become a drag queen?
7. When did you realize that drag was something you were interested in?
8. Was drag something that had to hide from your family?
9. What was it like, starting out in the drag world?
10. How have you attained the level of success that you have in the drag world?
11. What are your plans/dreams with Alexis? What does it mean to be successful as a drag star?
12. How is Alexis Stevens part of your personality?
13. How is Alexis completely different than you?
14. What can you do/be as Alexis that you cannot reach as Steven?
15. When you perform, do you become Alexis Stevens, or are you just Steven at work?
16. How long does it take to get into full drag?
17. What does it mean to you, seeing yourself transform slowly into someone completely different?

*Multimedia*
Alexis maintains a very active Facebook page, which includes over 1,000 pictures of her in drag, and a couple out of drag. Facebook's tag feature has allowed me to see the profile of Stevens' fellow drag performers, and a lot of fans write on her profile, etc. Her status updates on Facebook and Twitter also have given me information for my interview with Alexis today. She participated in a charity event to raise money for breast cancer, which is an excellent segue into what she hopes to accomplish through her drag career.
