It's Not Easy Being A Queen Unisex Long Sleeve T-Shirt

An It’s Not Easy Being A Queen long sleeve T-shirt with a purple queen illustration, for drag glamour, everyday labour, and the sacred exhaustion of making an entrance look effortless.

The purple queen illustration offers a cheerful acknowledgement of the work behind looking composed. A face, an outfit and a good entrance can hide a very long day, which gives It's Not Easy Being A Queen its affectionate complaint. The word can be a drag title, a camp compliment or something you choose to call yourself after surviving the week.

This long-sleeve version brings the glamour-and-labour joke into a layered outfit for the journey to a show. Wear it beneath an open jacket with denim, then let the illustrated queen have the attention once you arrive. It can be just as appropriate for a viewing party where somebody else is onstage and you are finally off duty.

Queen need not describe one body, style or story for the phrase to feel familiar. It might salute a performer, a femme friend or the person who makes everybody else's evening run smoothly. The pleasure is recognising effort without demanding a full explanation of it, with a little camp exaggeration to make the complaint feel more like company.
