Is it ok to compiment a drag queen on her makeup or outfit?

    Outfit, yes-- but I have always felt that "your makeup looks gorgeous" sounds a little backhanded. Maybe just go with "YOU look gorgeous!"

    People love compliments. Point out something specific you like (the sparkly lips?) as an icebreaker.

    Are you kidding? Drag queens THRIVE on compliments.

    But don't use the words "fierce" or "werrrk" unless you have license to do so. It's gauche.

    It's like making eye contact with a crazy person on the bus or petting a strange pit bull—you'll probably be okay, Infinity, but generally it's a bad idea. If the pit/nut/queen reacts badly, you're unlikely to survive the encounter. Better to steer clear.

    i feel it's really rather rude not to. but it is also okay to retract said compliment the moment she turns her back, if appropriate. everyone wins.

    OK? I thought it was obligatory.
