Drag Names

Being more of a leather/bear MO myself, I don't talk with many drag queens. But yesterday I was drinking with a most striking lady with the name

"Hell-of-a-bottom Carter".

Has anyone heard of one that can top this?

Which drag name I use depends on where I am.

In Chelsea, NYC, I'm Miss Olivia Jardin (in honor of the restaurant on Sixth Ave at 23rd St.)

When I'm in the country, I magically morph into Miss Brooke Trout.

My favorite though, is when I'm in Barcelona. There's a traffic circle on the hill above the city and in Catalan it's called Ronda da Dalt (The high up traffic circle literally). When I arrive in BCN all I have to do is call my friends and tell them Rhonda's here.

Having said all this, I have to say they're just names. I don't actually do drag.

Not so sure that this is travel related in any way ... but a Filipino/a contestant in last year's GAPA Runway pageant in SF was Dawn Avanuday.

when I was in college in Dallas, my fraternities brothers (also gay) made us dress up as civil war beauty pageant contestants. I was Miss South Carolina 1863, Sofonda Peters.
Now, I am the ugliest b!tch in drag, but add a parasol, elbow length peach coloured satin gloves, and more lace than your grandma's kitchen table, and it brings new definition to FUGLY.

In line with the website's theme, a friend in London used to go by Hedda N. DeClouds.

My buddy Matt (Chlamydia Tractorpull) christened me Phyllis Stein at Wigstock '94. She's had a rather checkered career, only appearing once corporeally (blackmail by Matt) but having a rather blood curdling cyber career (well, there was the time a rabbi proposed to her . . .) She's been recuperating in the Barbra Streisand Ashram for many years now.

I would like to offer the drag name of Heather O'Normative to any of the academic FT'ers out there, particularly Hoyateach.

Robert Rodi in his comic novel Drag Queen had a couple of good ones, Kit N. Kaboodle but my absolute favorite drag name of. all. time.

Miss Regina Upright.

Thank you Mr. Rodi

Making up such names is a recurring joke in the new Broadway musical "[title of show]" (highly recommended).

The one that sticks in my mind is Tulita Pepsi.

Wasn't Harvey Fierstein's "Torch Song Trilogy" drag name VIRGINIA HAM?
