"¡OLE!

October is nationally recognized as National Hispanic Month. It began as a way to promote the history, culture and contributions of Hispanic Americans and more specifically we should celebrate all those from, and in,  Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South America. It's time to pay homage and appreciate the colorful cultures, rich histories,  and the diversity. The LGBT Hispanics are no exception...and  are part of the celebration as well.  Here's to some of my favorite colorful queens, who definitely bring and add to the flavor of the drag world. Not to mention broken their own barriers.

COVER OF A MAGAZINE

When I get real bored, nothing is on the tube, or I'm waiting for an appointment...one of my guilty pleasures is this thing called Reface app, where it will meddle your face with that of another. I blame this secret addiction on the Lad and his younger generational crap. But I can't lie, it get me laughing sometimes, and other times, I would go to bed with my self and give it to me but good. The app will let you reface with magazine covers, movie scenes movie clips, shows, gifs you name it. Awhile back I superimposed my face on RuPaul and the whole judges panel on Drag Race. That was quite the chuckle, and I can't lie, Ru's wiggery look damn good on me. The above is a GQ cover with me and David Beckham mixed.

Me on a vintage copy of Vogue

Myself and Ryan Gosling refaced.

Lizzo and I refaced. 

And then I did a couple movie stills.

Now this one as Charlize Theron could be me to a t. Looks most like me as I really am. If I ever did this for Halloween , there would be 20 lbs of make up added! 

But, when I did a reface of a picture as Pam Demic , even though in partial drag it looked drastically different, but funny none the less. I don't see myself in these at all. Here is Pam Demic reface with my idol Amy Winehouse.

And on Cosmo as a plus size model!!!! 

If I don't watch the cider doughnuts and pumpkin pie... this just may be me soon. I once was going to do a reface with myself and both of the Mr and Mrs Dump....even though Halloween is coming, I didn't want to have nightmares for the rest of the season and well into next year.

SHE'S BACK......

 
.....Winnie the Witch!!! 

My good friends The Capital Street Duo's house. A popular house of many conversation in Harrisburg most of the year. Winnie came in for a landing for her 18th year running. 

SIGOURNEY

Halloween is always a fun time for drag queens. Most of us are always over the top, and the only thing to do is go the costume route. And if anyone has thought of trying drag, it seems drag brings the queen out in everybody and their mother! But other queens have the eerie and spooktacular style and schtick down year round. Sigourney Beaver is one of those spook queens, originally hailed from Des Moines and now resides in Chicago, and is yet another hyer- femme AFAB queen, or born a female at birth, or.. as she likes to put it. "a female impersonator impersonator." Sigourney is a killer beauty queen who loves to hypnotize audiences with her piercing white eyes, and sky high hair. Coming from a burlesque background, she incorporates the art of the tease into all her drag performances. I am really starting to think these AFAB queens are giving a run for the money to us typical drag queens and I'm here for it. I think I like it because these AFAB queens try to keep it over the top and bring the campy drag , while cis male drag is becoming more and more fishy. And I'm loving Ms Beavers style. And that name?!?! Might be on my top 15 best drag names list. Sigourney has also landed herself on the fourth season of the Boulet Brothers Dragula, who will be one of two AFAB queens on this season. And her Instagram is unmissable. Her style is as good as her acts. Famous for her white eyes and her outrageously glamorous looks, it's a showcase for her with floor length gowns and bright hair colors. To see her perform check her out at her Facebook or Instagram.for dates. But henny....I'm OBSESSED with the spider dress!
