It was years ago, now, and probably the only good thing I remember, or even liked from being in Texas, the Heavyweight Champion, Mistress Isabelle Brooks, a plus sized queen with a plus sized attitude to match. Her show was entertaining and what a presence she had on the stage. She's a dancing diva with some serious disco fever, and there's not a whole lot that can slow this bitch down when she gets steam up!!! Born and raised in Houston TX, Isabelle describes her style as over the top traditional drag with a modern twist. Of course, I was in love right then. Glamorous ensembles, big, higher the hair to God wigs, and just captivating. She believes old school drag is dying out, and vows to continue its style to the next generation. And it's no wonder her wigs are so stunning and huge, hair has always been a passion of hers way before drag and envisioned a career as a hairstylist. That love led to her styling all her own wigs...and not long after, word of mouth spread of her jaw dropping double and triple wig stacking. It wasn't till the pandemic hit and drag shut down, that her talent for hair gave her a way to take care of herself financially, as she moved from styling wigs just for herself and close friends, to those queens far and wide. It wasn't long before her wigs were traveling to queens all over the world, and she eventually started up her own wig company, Wigs By Mistress. Big money too. I once got a double stacked from her at a mere $395. Love this queen and wouldn't surprise me if she has big things on the horizon.
Plus-sized sass is the BEST!
ReplyDeleteShe knows how to rock a wig!!! Good on her for making coins from a pandemic!
ReplyDeleteShe is packaged SO FINE!
ReplyDeleteBack when I used to attend drag shows regularly (about 20 years ago), it always seemed that the bigger the queen, the more entertaining the act. They also could be more sexually overt.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree Kirk. Of course I love drag queens of every Style and size but I will say the Queen's stick out in my mind the most have been the ones with the biggest hair and just happen to be big in size. I agree I don't know what it is but they always seem to leave an impression.
DeleteI love her plus size she has no shame in showing off. In the third pic, she's not IN a cloud, but looks like THE cloud itself. Genial & brilliant!
ReplyDeleteThat's a good way to put that one picture! No, she has gotten better since I've even seen her and wouldn't surprise me if she shows up on our small screen soon.
DeleteShe’s stunning and the hair is out of this world. I’ve wondered how much all that hair (and that quality) would cost. The black & white op art dress is to die for.
ReplyDeleteSome stacked wigs are even more!!! Sometimes if you know a queen real well, they will give you a better price. It all about networking boy.
DeleteTundra Bunny here... WOW, Mistress Isabelle and Marge Simpson must use the same brand of hairspray! I had no idea that wigs could be double or triple stacked, which must be a fascinating thing in its own right, LOL!
ReplyDeleteNow Maddie, is my mind playing tricks, or could Isabel in that pink ensemble in the second picture be Farrah Moan with a huge weight gain? But I've long enjoyed Mistress Isabelle Brooks . She's a hell of a performer.
ReplyDeleteLMAO!!!!! Shade gurl.
DeleteShe's got it going, that's for sure. One of the best drag queens here in town is a plus size. Great voice (doesn't lip sync) and funny as hell!
ReplyDeleteNew title; Mistress Isabelle, Wig maker to Queen Marie Antoinette? After all the deceased is accused of saying of the starving peasants "Let them wear wigs"
ReplyDeleteIf Eureka O'Hara and Ginger Mini had a baby!!! So you know Mistress Isabelle's fabulous.
ReplyDeleteI do like that little black and white number with the red trim. I want that outfit! Stacked wigs? Sheesh! Bobby pins give me a headache! Hats off to the brave people who pull off this stuff! She's fabulous.
ReplyDeleteI thought of you when I saw that ensemble and had to include it. You'd look cute in that.
DeleteOhhhh yes!
ReplyDeleteLove me a dancing Diva. If the Queen starts twirling and kicking, I'm up there with the dollar bills ready! Love that red ensemble. And girl is beat for the GODS!!
XOXO
Im glad you like her. I suspect you'll be seeing a lot more of her.
DeleteShe is Fabulous!!!!! I can see where she would have a strong stage presence.
ReplyDeleteRepresent bitch!!!!!!!! Sharp as a tact girl!
