While drag stars are so popular today, was it different when you first began performing?
When I first started, it would have been nearly impossible for a female impersonator to perform in a main showroom of a Las Vegas hotel. I feel that I broke down stereotypes, barriers and misconceived notions of what a drag show was like by keeping it classy yet fun and this allowed me to pay the way for the others that are able to perform today. Through hard work and perseverance, I've been able to achieve the success that the rest of these performers are working towards and remain the Longest Running Headliner in Las Vegas History as well as the "Queen of the Las Vegas Strip."
