i came out of the womb rhinestone to filth (translated: covered from head-to-toe in AB--aurora borealis--rhinestones). Well, maybe not . . . but i might as well have. i was born to love all things rhinestone, sparkly, glittered, and excessive. My favorite movies growing up were The Wizard of Oz (all i really cared about were Dorothy's ruby slippers--i loved them so much that i made a pair for myself at age 8 which should have been a dead giveaway that i was indeed a drag queen) and The Muppets Take Manhattan (Miss Piggy--need i say more?). i have always surrounded myself in excess: i was an artist roller skater at 13 designing my own costumes and choreographing my own routines, a belly/Polynesian dancer that toured with the Bob Marley Festival (does anyone else out there remember this?!?!?!), and the wonderful world of embellishment, glamour, beauty, and realness that i currently reside.
i am a drag queen trapped in a woman's body. a genetically challenged drag queen. a gay boy trapped in a woman's body. More specifically, a gay drag queen trapped in a lesbo woman's body. I often refer to myself as a faux queen; however, here in the Dallas drag world i've been dragited (think "knighted") as a bonafide drag queen.
The best parts of living the drag life is what happens when you're not in face. While i am always a queen, i'm not always dressed like one. This blog captures my life both in and out of drag as i follow my own rainbow living my big fat gay boy.
Welcome my wonderful world of camp, glamour, kitsch, color, and absolute flawlessness.
(oh and in case you were wondering, i got to live out my childhood Dorothy obsession in drag. See pics below)
i'm the tiny one in the middle. CHECK OUT THE SHOES!!! FINALLY!!!!
