Thank you so much. The pleasure.
Yes. I think her name was Amanda Love. Amanda Love or Amanda Hug and Kiss. I can't remember. But we walked into like a bar and it was like one of the first gay bars ever that I went into. And she was like lip syncing and doing a number. And I was like, why isn't she singing? I don't understand. Yeah. I had only seen like the birdcage and like Starina, like with the microphone, you know.
So I was like, I didn't understand what drag was.
No idea what she was doing, but she was huge and just like gorgeous. And yeah.
I feel like it was in like, I feel, I want to say like West Virginia or something like that. Like, I don't,
Yeah.
No, because I was like, I can't do that. I can't be that gorgeous and glamorous and beautiful. I was just like stunned. I just wanted to get drunk, you know.
Yeah. Good. Well, yeah. Yeah.
Well, there is. I just didn't know about it. And I think we went to West Virginia because I was under 21 and it was like you could get into bars there. I don't know. My memory is full of holes.
I definitely did the contacts thing. Yes. Just because I liked like changing my appearance. I thought it was fun. And I always wanted to have dark eyes like I still do.
It was San Francisco that did that for me. I went to The Stud on my 22nd birthday, and there was a show there, and it was Duran Duran night, and it was a drag show. And Duran Duran is a bunch of guys. And so just that in and of itself was like, wait, like, sort of all the rules of what I thought drag was did not apply. And it was...
It was scary and it was funny and it was sexy and it was gross and like messy. And I just I was like, I want to do that. I want to do this. So I went back to Pittsburgh and I was like, I'm going to do drag now because of that.
It wasn't too long after that. And I picked up a flyer at Pegasus. And it was like a contest, a Chichi LaRue contest.
Yeah, the fishbowl contest. And I was like, I'm going to do that. And I'm going to win that.
Well, I don't like to brag.
Yeah.
No, no, that was it. It was like a lightning bolt. It was like instant.
Yeah, all the queens in town showed up because it was like $250 or $200. And that was like, I mean, that basically like with inflation, that's like a million dollars now. And so we were like... you know, everyone came out. And so I was very nervous, but I had a bunch of tricks and gags planned. In case I didn't know the song, I would still have something to do.
So I, like, put all this stuff up my skirt and I would pull it out as the number went on. And then the skirt would tear away and it would be a giant sign that said, I love Chichi LaRue. So, you know, sucking up to the host, stunts and gags, distractions. Those are the key to performance in drag, I think. And yeah, and I pulled, because you had to choose your song out of the fishbowl.
You didn't know what you were going to do. And I pulled How Many Licks by Lil' Kim and I happened to know every word of that. And so we did it.
