Drag Fun,Birth of a Mistress

The Mistress, probably drunk from one of the Christmas house parties above. This is a tyical look for the Mistress Borghese. And how did I get that name, I'm asked from time to time.? How does one get a drag name? There are many different ways. The Mistress went through many. When I first met my good friend and sister Mame, AKA,Daivd and our friend Vera, they called me Glory as Glory Upstin from Auntie Mame. After David moved to New York, the name dropped off. Then while watching the epic and loooooong North and South mini series, I loved me some Lesley-Anne Down's character Madeline LaMotte Main, and I loved the name Madeline. I added the the last name Wesley being the street I live on. Of course everyone called me Maddie over time, so much so, that people though my real name was Matthew. I got so used to the name that when someone called me by my real name I didn't even hear it. Then it evently became Mistress Maddie because a friend of mine said all I do is tease the men and entertain them so, and then I dated a guy who was married un-beknownest to me."Your a mistress "he said. Borghese came into play because of the make-up I used at the time when getting ready. So their is the birth of the Mistress Borhgese. Mistress Maddie to close friends. It was along conception. There tend to be three types of drag names: The first are satirical names that play on words, such as Miss Understood, Holly Woodlawn,Peaches Christ, and Lypsinka.

The second type are names that trend toward glamour and extravagance, such as Dame Edna Everage, Chi Chi LaRue, and The Lady Chablis. This is the type used by the character Albin in the movie and musical La Cage Aux Folles for his drag persona, "Miss ZaZa Napoli". The Mistress tends to fall in this catagory.

The third type is considered simpler but can have an in-depth backstory, cultural or geographical significance or simply be a feminine form of their "boy" name. Often a drag queen will pick a name or be given one by a friend or "drag mother" as a one-time occasion only to discover they like performing and go on to use a less-than ideal name for years. Drag queens do change names as well even using two or more concurrently for various reasons. Some examples of simpler names include Verka Serduchka, Miss Coco Peru, Shequida, and Divine. It was an original tradition for one's drag name to be the name of the family pet growing up followed by the street they grew up on. If this were the case my name would be Poochie Kensingston. Some drag queens may still use this as a baseline name and make a modification to it in order to make a more extravagant, deviant, or sexual. Or I guess you could just use The Drag Queen Generator. What your's? My name from this would be Anita Intervention. No comments.
