SO ...YOU WANNA BE A DRAG QUEEN?

I can remember the first time I did drag. Talk about scared, But I always had big balls and went out and did it!!!

 

 I had the best time, and then ended up doing drag for shows, but mostly became the Social "It" queen at the clubs, and parties to keep the crowd happy and entertained or the lure. The Amanda Lepore if you will, and continued for the next 10 years!!!! What captured me was the transformation, and still does amaze me. I was also enthralled by the crowd loving the Mistress Borghese, as well... it also gave me another outlet to express myself, and helped bring my boy personality to the surface....which the Mistress Borghese was a terrible influence!!! When I get asked questions, I think this video really  answers a lot of questions I would get asked. So..... How do fabulous queens become the creatures they were meant to be? Find out here in these outtakes from the 2013 documentary I AM DIVINE. Very candid.Featuring Jackie Beat, Bebe Zahara Banet, John Cantwell, John Epperson aka Lypsinka, Joshua Grannell aka Peaches Christ, the fabulous Heklina, Brian Entler aka Lady Bear, Mark Payne, and the legendary Holly Woodlawn.
