This week our Grande Dame is from sunny West Hollywood...and this way comes West coast beauty, 6. Or as she is better known... They Call Her 6.
Call Her 6 is one of those queens I have seen once and can still remember her stage show and presence. This queen could beat a face for days, with such vibrant color and her eyes are also downright flawless. While being chic and trendy, it's easy to spy just a bit of a edgy feel, and a slight bad girl side. Call Her 6 has risen to one of the sought out queens to go see when in West Hollywood, no small feat not being in drag for as long as some, and has a weekly show at the posh Velvet Lounge. Being a self taught queen, if may look as though she has gotten here very fast and easy, but was not all fun and games, as she had lived on the streets, homeless for some time,hitting rock bottom, and suffered a drug addiction. But like a true queen, destiny intervened... somehow she mustered enough courage and brought herself back up and is now a drag mother to several other young queens in WEHO. Her performances and style are quite memorable, her drag gives me all kinds of life. So does her story. Yet another one that should be told. And she is a true testament to finding life anew again and living it to the fullest.
So what does it take to change the course of life?
Yowza!
ReplyDeleteVery strong and a survivor!
ReplyDeletetake care, xoxo :-)
Great story. Flawless.
ReplyDeleteI fucking LOVE Jeremy!!!!!!! That is one queen who has had a hellish life up to now, and is one of the most positive, giving people I know! 6 is OWNING WEHO currently...the shows are excellent. Paint that MUG!
ReplyDeleteI would love to see a Call Her 6 show again when I get back out.
DeleteShe is one of the most vibrant queens I have worked with, and one big overcomers I've met. Her story hits home with me. Such an inspiration. And FIERCE!
ReplyDeleteCall Her 6's video brings me so many emotions. It got to me. What an amazing, amazing person. She is flawless!
ReplyDeleteYou got me in my feels with that video, Maddie!
ReplyDelete6 can also paint for the GAWDS. That mug is flawless. Fantastic sense of light and shadow and she knows her face. I think the fact that she’s been down on her luck has given her an outlook she didn’t have 25 years ago, when she seemed to have it all.
Awesome story.
XoXo
I had the feeling you'd enjoy this post.
DeleteSuch intensity -- in and out of drag. I can't imagine living that early life. What a transformation in every way.
ReplyDeleteThose strong colors, though... Perfection! 💙💛💚🧡💜🖤🤍🤎
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post to see and the video is very touching. Nice to see a happy ending for someone.
