Well, that would be the queen who actually put me in drag. Her name was Chena Black. She was beautiful, and I was 15 years old. PurrZsa Kyttyn 18. The first time I ever went to a gay bar. I went in my mom's old dress (turned out to be a dated wedding gown), and I was alone. I sat on the front row to watch the show. I was nervous and excited. I wanted to watch a drag show. Turns out... there were strippers there. Then one of them puts his thong clad crotch in my face and I turned my head because I was shy back then. Then show director calls out on the mic "girl, don't sit on the front row if you're not going to look"...I was so mortified I got up and ran out! Lacey Lynn Taylors The first time anyone saw me dressed in drag was at the Beaux Arts Ball in Lexington, KY. I was 20 years old, and I looked a mess as far as drag goes, but I didn't know that then. My friends didn't recognize me and I had all the straight guys fooled! Joey Brooks The talent show was the first time I had put on a dress. Aime Jean May 22 -2002. I was impersonating Thalia, wich is one of my favorite artists, and who serves me as inspiration. I was 19, and my friends and I decided to make a show in a bar near my town in Mexico. We made a show (very very poor), but I had lots of fun and since that show I’m still on the road Sybil Storm Robin Knight (may she rest) and I was amazed.
