  • Edward Sizzahands has created wigs for celebrities like RuPaul and Tiffany Haddish, and is most known for his work with drag queens. He crafts these wigs using everything from chicken wire to Gorilla Glue. We visited his studio as he brought a fantasy wig to life for Trinity The Tuck Taylor.
    If you are or know a queer maker, crafter, artist, or creative that would be great for the next episode of Made With Pride, please send a description of them to gtyler@insider.com.

      its ridiculous how many times ive been told my parents did a bad job at raising me because they let me be who i wanted to be. i never had religion, gender roles, etc pushed onto me as a kid, my parents wanted me to discover who i was all by myself. and ive been told countless times that was poor parenting on their end because "id just end up confused" or "id end up being a rebel or a criminal". im 20 years old now and work full time as a special needs aide so i dont think the whole "rebellious criminal" thing ever really happened lol. my parents raised me right and more parents should do what they did.

Regarding acceptance by your parents….I have found that even though they say they love and accept you….the true test is if you are invited to family events….my nieces & nephews graduated, got married and had children without ever inviting me to share in their lives. The lesson here is to love yourself and not depend on others for your happiness ! THANK YOU FOR A GREAT VIDEO !
