Grande Dame.....A Summer Cooler

 

What would summer be with out the likes of one fabulous and stunning
Varla Jean Merman!?!
 
 They just go hand in hand like the Mistress and gin!!! Varla Jean Merman is a character originated and portrayed by Jeffery Roberson, an American actor, singer and drag performer. Varla's fictitious pedigree boasts that Ernest Borgnine is her father and Ethel Merman is her mother.
Merman is perhaps best known for her role in the 2003 independent film Girls Will Be Girl. She also had a co-starring role in the 1997 film Franchesca  Page. Merman was also one of the performers featured in the HBO original documentary Dragtime. She has appeared in a number of short films and live cabaret acts since she and her male alter-ego attended the School of Music at Louisiana State University. Merman's shows are a staple of summer entertainment in Provincetown, Massachusetts, where Ill be heading soon! It's just not Provincetown without her, or Miss Richfield 1981. She also performs fairly often in New Orleans, New York City, San Francisco, and London and has also enjoyed billing at the Sydney Opera House in Australia, and Carnegie Hall. Varla can currently be seen in Provincetown at the Art House in TWICE UPON A MATTRESS. Varla Jean  gives the mother of all gooses to everyone's favorite fairy tails. If she should ever come to your neck of the woods do check her out, with her all original works and show material. Her schedule is available at Varla Jean Merman. What a legend and treasure!
