About Me


NEW SHOW AT BLAKE'S
COME CHECK OUT THE AMSTERDAMES!



See you tonight!
I am a performer in Atlanta who hopefully brings something a little different to the stage.. I'm a drag queen, but love throwing in a theatrical flare to give the audience something fresh and deep to get involved in. If I can touch one person in a room of a thousand, I've accomplished my goal. I want to make people think, feel, and even act because of a performance. I'm striving to reach those goals each time I get on stage. I love serving in the role of the entertainer and try to do the best job that I can do!
I'm the current reigning Miss Pride International '07 -'08 am having a fantastic year as queen! I am also the newly crowned Miss Queen of Hearts '08-'09 and look forward to a great year of reign. I was Miss Atlanta Newcomer '05-'06 and the first winner of Atlanta's Drag Idol competition, held during the summer of 2005 in Atlanta. Since the Drag Idol competition, I have been honored to be a part of the casts of Charlie Brown's Cabaret, the Drag Idol All-Stars, the Stage Door Divas, Blake's several nights a week and the AmsterDames at Amsterdam, as well as travel all throughout the southeast - from Montgomery, AL to Richmond, VA.
I currently entertain on the weekly casts of Blake's Drag on the Edge, Three Men and a Baby, The Hook-Up, and Meow Mix shows (Mon, Tues, Wed, and Fri) and The AmsterDames (at Amsterdam Atlanta on Sun). I have the privilege and honor of working WITH incredible entertainers and FOR incredible audiences several nights a week. Thanks to all my supporters for these life-changing opportunities.
Check out the phenomenal Friday night MEOW MIX Show!
REST IN PEACE, DJ ERIK HAYES
I love you and miss you everyday - this one's for you.

My Interests

Making costumes, designing productions, researching everywhere for new ideas, hearing feedback from other entertainers and audiences, becoming a new person everytime I'm on stage...
