The spotlight is bright and intense as it follows Alaska Armon Chappelle to the stage where she performs "You're the One" by Dondria in front of an audience of about 25 at Xavier's Event Center in Anniston. She slowly sashays in the strapless red lace dress that she made herself, because it's hard to find sexy dresses to fit king-sized queens.

For Chappelle, a 24-year-old Anniston native, being a drag queen — a man who dresses as a woman, usually for entertaining stage performances — is "more than just putting on a wig and a dress," she said.
