Janis Abitch. Vera Loathing. Devlynn Payless. Every now and then, when the desire for deep introspection comes over me, I take a moment to consider what my drag name would be.
What sort of queen would I be? Would I be a refined glamourpuss drawing influence from Rita Hayworth and Grace Kelly? Or would I make myself a raunchy and ribald spectacle, the likes of which would make Divine look like a sweet, Mormon girl?
