When it comes to drag, I generally prefer the quirky, campy and old school drag more over the editorial and fishy queens. I think they usually have more substance to them. But there is a handful of queens I have seen that can pack a punch into a show for being more than just a fishy look queen. The Sinistra is one of them. It was on my trip to Budapest a couple years ago, that Warbucks and I were guest of a friend of his to a drag show, and this queen brought the house down. Of course, I was in love with her style of a time gone by almost immediately... but then could turn on a dime in the next set with a whole new style that may be cutting edge. This Bulgarian born queen now resides in Paris, but we had the treat of seeing her appearance at a club in Budapest. Not only a funny, comedic host, but she could live sing, everything from Garland, to Gaga, to Madonna, to Holiday and all the jazz greats. She was a high NRG girl, perform some sultry numbers... but could snap into old world burlesque, or give some tap and soft shoe. And can we say a beat for the Gods mug?!?!? To survive in drag, one better have a schtick, other than a glossy Instagram, meet and greets and a flat lip-synch to have a long career in drag, and I don't think this bitch will have any worries.
Quite the drag name too! I like the first photo's outfit the best, but that cheezy orange fake fur has to go! It detracts from all the glam.
ReplyDeleteI'm getting a little Cruella from that black-and-white look; very stylist and I love the name!
ReplyDeleteGreat name. In Italian it also means The Left. I like that. A beauty n
ReplyDeleteWe should book her for the Kennedy Center Honors.
ReplyDeleteI suspect the Republicans that took over the center might have an issue with that, LOL.
DeleteShe needs to be on RDR.
ReplyDeleteThat's the kind of drag show I loved going to. Those nails, though.... It cannot be easy to navigate certain, er, functions with those things.
ReplyDeleteMarvelous. Glamor with an edge. She needs to keep evolving... to be honest, it strikes me as a bit too buttoned down. But lovely.
ReplyDeleteI didn't feature them here but she also does very creepy dark looks as well...think Dragula.
DeleteContra to the norm Sinistra rocks the blonde look a lot better than the dark hairdos. The spotty dress adds something special to her look.
ReplyDeleteThe Sinistra has everything a top tier drag queen should have: style, the ability to sing well and do comedy -- a true performer, not just a beauty pageant contestant. Those nails could poke an eye out, though, and that orange fur thing does look like a huge cheese puff, LOL!
ReplyDeleteShe's sharp as a tack!
DeleteStunning, at first glance I thought Sinistra was Plane Jane!
ReplyDeleteThe name.
ReplyDeleteThe mug.
The costumes.
And she can SING LIVE?? Gimme.
XOXO
Wow😍😍😍
ReplyDeleteWhat a queen! She is downright Sublime !
