Acid Betty--"the fiercest hybrid drag queen in New York"--is unmistakable for her big hair, bigger outfits, and large presence as she takes the stage of every queeny event in town. Acid Betty was born in the clubs of New York City! Her best friend at the time was a hairstylist, and we wanted to go out dressed up like freaks. It was a weekly challenge to try and make bigger hair, stranger makeup and more absurd outfits. But it was when people stopped believing my name was the same as my boy name, that's when Acid Betty stepped in and took over, and Acid Betty started a whole new genre of drag! She is pretty damn fierce in my book! Acid Betty can currently be seen on The Queens of Drag NYC on gay.com.
Hope you had a great Birthday.
ReplyDeleteOh, she is a delightful fright, and just in time for All Hallow's Eve.

Acid Betty is gorgeous!!! Thank you for running this post on her. I never heard of her. And it was your birthday? I hope it was very good! Happy Birthday dear Mistress!
ReplyDeleteI have to say that this one doesn't seem to be another off-the-rack club kid. And anyone who respects Quentin Crisp obviously has a good head on her shoulders--and great hair on her head!
