About Me


2008 marks my 21st year as one of the most outspoken and highly visible members of San Francisco's Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, Inc. This year I am thrilled to be the Hostess/MC of the Fetish Ball in San Francisco, scheduled for March. I've already been chosen as Miss November 2009 on the SF Housing Alliance's Desperate Diva Calendar. I'm honored to represent Under One Roof and Gloss Magazine. I am a regular MC on the main stage at the SF Pride Celebration and The Folsom Street Fair, as well as hosting/mc'ing and performing all over the Country. You may have heard me on KMEL or 92.7, seen me in an MTV video or CNN or caught me on stage in Ronnie Larsen's Sleeping With Straight Men with Mink Stole. You can read me in my bi-weekly column, Drag It!, in Gloss Magazine (sfgloss.com). I strive for the adoration of others. I love to laugh. If you can make me laugh, I'm all yours. I love San Francisco because of its physical beauty and the social climate. I've re-discovered television and I'm addicted to several 'reality' shows, especially America's Next Top Model (which I think I could win!).I was class president all four years in highschool. I went to a private Catholic college where the lesbian nuns were inspiring and frightening at the same time. I try to treat everyone with the same amount of respect and dignity. I like gifts of cash and jewelery. I've used drugs. I try not to judge people. I cannot tolerate hypocrasy. I have never had a lover or partner or a serious long-term relationship, except with myself.
I am the co-host of the Tim and Roma show! It's a crazy live-format talk show produced by the innovative and wacky people at nakedsword.com. Mr. Pam is the twisted mind behind a lot of it! If you like porn and want to get to know the stars as well as the people behind the scenes, check it out!

My Interests

I'm interested in making the world a better place. I care about people and the quality of life. I am interested in the fact that all people are created equal and that deep inside, we are all the same. I am interested in perserving my own and the civil rights of others as outlined in the U.S. Constitution. I am interested in wiping out prejudice, bigotry and hatred based on race, sex, sexual orientation, age, gender, religious beliefs, social status and choice of peanut butter. I am a leader in the fight against homophobia. I have been on the front lines in the war against HIV and AIDS, joining my Sisters in raising over $1 million for charity and service organizations, as well as educating the world about HIV and safer sex practices. I am interested in the fact that this is the space that some people simply put "scrabble." (Which I do enjoy, by the way.)

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet The Girl's Next Door and Tyra Banks.

Music:

I love music. It's music to my ears. I'm the music man. I believe in music. Let the music play!

Movies:

Freeway / Mame / What's Up Doc? / Steel Magnolias / History of the World Pt. 1 / Happiness. I've also been in a few, most notable porn! See High Tide from Falcon Studios. I was nominated for a GAYVN Award and a GRABBY Award for my peformance in Wet Palms. I play Mona, the drug addicted, drag queen resort Maid. Imgaine me, playing a Maid? A drug addict maybe, but a maid? PuhLeeze. ; )

Television:

I never really watch it - so when I'm somewhere and it's on I can't take my eyes off it. I do watch some shows on DVD, like Will & Grace. I've been on t.v. a bunch of times - especially on the news - as well as in three MTV music videos.

Books:

A Confederacy of Dunces.

Heroes:

Parents who walk their kids to school through the tenderloin. Prostitutes. Sara Silverman. Jackie Beat, Jenna Jameson, Oprah, MAC Cosmetics.
