pattie gonia's New Line of Eco-Friendly Drag Gear Could Save You Money on Costumes
Get ready to sparkle for less. The viral drag queen and environmental activist pattie gonia is dropping a new line of reusable, eco-friendly drag accessories, and it might finally kill the "fast fashion" headache that hits your wallet every Halloween. Instead of shelling out for disposable dollar-store tinsel that tears after one wear, pattie's new collection focuses on repurposed materials and interchangeable sequins. The kicker? One central bodice piece works with ten different skirt attachments, meaning you buy one set and rotate looks without buying a whole new costume. For the average consumer tired of spending $50 on a one-night outfit, this could cut your annual costume budget by 70 percent. However, the initial price point is higher—expect to pay around $80 for the core piece—so you'll only save if you commit to reusing it. Still, with pattie gonia pushing the message that looking fierce shouldn't cost the Earth (or your savings account), this might be the smartest drag deal of the year.
