After first bursting onto the drag scene in the late 20th century, it seemed only natural that I was destined for fame and fortune. Unlike many others in the back stabbing, hair pulling world of show business, I've been able to have a long and fruitful career. If it weren't for the undying love of you, my fans, and my new shear, raw talent, my career would have been in the toilet long ago. That is why after two centuries of stardom, that I'm still able to command top dollar for my appearances.
Like many of the girls in my profession, I used to have a bulky, ear-catching name: MARCI FITZNICENTIGHT, but as my star rose and signing autographs became tiresome, it was shortened simply to Marci. Just as so many pop diva icons in our culture have done, like my good friend Britney. After hitting the pinnacle of my career in the late 90s, and acquired a mantle full of trophies, that's when this craziness paid off. The merchandising and endorsement deals poured in making me wealthier beyond belief. After sparking numerous fashion trends and countless dance moves seen in all the top clubs, I decided it was time for a break. Like many hard-working showgirls doing 627 shows a year in one city, I found myself hospitalized with exhaustion.
After a much-needed break, I wrote a book currently resting at 10967 on the New York Times Bestseller list. I'm about to embark on a 47-minute, 6-neighborhood book tour to promote the thing. My publisher says sales are lagging for some reason. In my latest adventure, I'm in negotiations with Harpo. Yes, Oprah has her eye on me for a talk/variety show. This looks very promising as a 3 AM timeslot has recently become available in her home town of Wasteland, MS. Finally I will be heading out on my annual spring lecture/recruitment/talent scout circuit. I'll be hitting all the best drag queen farming spots. It's academic clubs, after-school thesbian troops, and of course all the local Cub Scout Den meetings. So if you think you or yours has what it takes to be me......forget it!
But not to worry, dahlings, I'll be back just in time for the big April show. Hope to see y'all then.
