Grande Dame of the Week.......

Varla Jean Merman!

Varla is a character originated and portrayed by Jeffery Roberson who is an American actor,singer and drag performer,who hails from the south. Varla is one beautiful,talented,and truly entertaining diva! Varla Jean Merman has filled concert halls and cabarets across the world from Sydney's Opera House to the New York Public Theater,Carnegie Hall and the San Francisco Victoria Theater. She also performs fairly often in New Orleans and is a staple of the summer entertainment in Provincetown Massachusetts.Varla has also starred in the movie "Girls will be Girls" and here is some of her talent in the parody of Cher's Dark Lady, Varla's edition,from the you tube! Funny as hell!

  2. That Dark Lady video cracks me up. It was actually filmed in New Orleans - I recognize some of the buildings.
