Photos of my alter-ego
 

so I was finally able to get some decent copies of my publicity pics and I thought I'd share and see what you're thoughts are - I don't quite look like this anymore as I need to lose a few lbs...:lol: but it'll work out.

if you don't like drag or are offended by it, don't view the pic

I wonder where they got the term "drag". :shrug: Looks convincing to me. (How they do that?)

thanks Amber

I believe it came from the use of the word "drag" to describe the face/makeup. Lots of older women say, "I need to check my drag" - Patti Labelle still says it to this day.

Aw, just curious. Looks like it takes alot of time and skill to achieve that look.

you look hawt to me, bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!! :thumbsup: ~

It does. Normally it takes about 4-5 hours on a good day from start to finish. To me, it is a beautiful art when it is done right - of course there are lots of skanks that kind of ruin it.

It was coined in Europe during the late 1800's to define clothing that's associated with a gender role and has some sort of symbolic meaning.

Great pics, too! Do you perform, Jason?

Very HOT! :)

thanks Jill. I appreciate it.

btw, I was showing a friend of mine at work your tattoo - she wanted a tribal heart and I was like, you've got to see this other one and she loved it...

Thanks Diss. I used to perform every Saturday/Sunday night at various clubs and also did private bookings; birthday parties, etc. I've kind of gotten out of the circuit just because life is just too hectic, but I still do benefit shows here and there. I am in the process of getting together a Diva Challenge idea for a Katrina benefit.

Sounds great! I used to do a lot of jam band stuff at local bars with friends (not in drag, mind you :laugh: ), but haven't done any of it since the spring; I'm itching to start doing it again. What were your favorite songs and artists to perform?

Best of luck with the benefit, too. :D

Very good pics, and also quite convincing.

Lovely. Sultry and Alluring. I hope that was your aim because you achieved it.

Keep up the Good work.

you know the odd thing was, and I kind of became known for doing this, I performed lots of songs by black artists. janet jackson, destiny's child, patti labelle, lil kim...I loved doing any Christina songs...I did a couple of Stevie songs.

My favs are:
Indendent Women, Destiny's Child
If, Janet Jackson
How Many Licks, Lil Kim
Diamonds are Forever, Shirley Bassey
Dirrty, Christina Aguilera
Making Love Out of Nothing At All, Bonnie Tyler (my signature song)
All the Man That I Need, Whitney Houston

I'm also kind of known for awesome medleys, if I do say so myself :)

thank you.

wow - thank you. so much. I appreciate it.

My best friend is gay and can guide me on the path of "gay appreciation" Thank Goodness.....because you are truly beautiful!

All I can say is WOW! You look better than Barbie! :)

ok, it's official - that's the best compliment ever. lol - thank you.

You're very welcome! My husband thinks you're stunning as well! :)

You look really great, Jason! Thanks for sharing that pic. :)

thank you Kimberly

Very nice, especially the makeup. :nod:

thanks for that - the makeup is, of course, a huge part of it, so thank you

Wow, you look beautiful, Jason! Thanks for sharing your photos.

One of my favorites.
No other singer can wring out every last drop of the Sturm und Drang in Jim Steinman's lyrics the way Bonnie can. :nod:

thanks stewy

yeah, the Bonster is a great, talented singer and this song is like her best, to me - the great huge buildup - it all works on stage - I wear a huge wedding gown with a crystal-incrested bodice and so it's all drama

Have you ever heard her cover of Freda Payne's "Band Of Gold"? If not, I bet you'd really love it. Steinman produced it, so it has all of that over-the-top melodrama he does best.

Turn around....

Every now and then I get a little bit tired of listening to the sound of my...


oops...sorry. The mention of Bonnie... :lol:

I haven't but I'll have to hunt it down. Thanks.

hahaha! You do a damn good job!

MMWAAHH - thank ya!

Hey, go for it...
 

whatever floats yer boat is what I say....I'm as open minded a person as anyone else, so go for it and thanks for sharing yer pictures (Btw, my alter-ego has a "goat's skull with three 6's between the horns")

And also as someone famous once said:

"...They dont want want you to see some little loud mouthed f**ker like me, who crawled out of some s**thole somewhere, and worked his way up on to this stage...They dont want, there's something out there that doesnt want people like you to realize that you can do whatever the f**k you want with you're goddamn life.

And unless....There are those that unless they have a piece of the pie...unless they got a piece of yer ass, unless they got a piece of your life they just dont want it to happen...you either do it their way or you dont do it...They can suck my ----!

I believe deep inside everybody, there's something inside you that knows what the f**k it is that your supposed to do with your life...And no matter what anybody tells you if you keep looking and you keep digging you're gonna find it...And you can be the person you're f**king meant to be on this goddamn planet...And dont let anybody, anybody..ever...get in your way...Including me.

I know it's not like the most humane thing, but you can uh, when it gets real rough, you think of a little theme song that somebody else wrote, mainly mister Paul McCartney...And when they're trying to keep you down, Just hold on and know that someday you'll bust out and you'll get onto your own s**t and they wont be able to f**king keep up with your ass, and you can be thinking just "Live And Let Die" mutherf**ker"-W.A.R. OKC 1992

Amber and Jason.... I give to you a band of gold. ;)
