A Canadian drag queen was just recognized by Guinness World Records with the esteemed title of being the "World's Oldest Performing Drag Queen."

Toronto resident Michelle DuBarry earned the honor last week after celebrating her 84th birthday, the Toronto Star reports.

"Michelle represents an era that I grew up, the Dynasty era, because she's all furs, gowns and diamonds. That's what set her apart," Max MacDonald, a close friend of DuBarry's and the person who nominated her for the world record, told the Star.
