Respect does come up in the Columbus Drag community a lot more than you would think necessary. But it does become necessary when there are a lot of younger and even older entertainers who seem to forget respect and honesty will get you a lot farther then not. If you aren't nice then people won't want to work with you, and you have to remember even if you're just a pageant girl, Female Impersonation is a job.
The first time I was in "Drag" was November 20th 2008, at an amateur drag show at Columbus College of Art & Design for the Gay Straight Student Alliance (GSSA) group. It was a fund-raiser to benefit the Columbus Aids Task force (CATF).

I knew a long time ago that I would probably be a drag queen, because I used to act with my cousin–child play– of course, but I would always be 'Sally' the secretary, and answer the rotary phone
"this is sally how may I direct your call."
Female impersonation is definitely the one thing that I feel most comfortable doing. The art of female impersonation will not die any time soon, in the columbus community or throughout the world.
Over the next five weeks, I will be documenting the process of Female Impersonation, by Documenting the progress of an upcoming event I am hosting for Relay For Life that includes an Amateur drag show of college students. Another will be BOOGER that will be at
Wall Street Night Club
MARCH 25TH 2011
Doors open at 8pm

I will be working hard to keep you all informed in all the little things I do between now and then, and even have in great detail why we plan the things we do for the show, and the process of even costuming, and hair for a productional show.
