[aydtd]

Note: Astrid is the oldest. Cate is the middlest. Barney is the youngest.

1. What is your name?

Cate: Cate Taylor.

Barney: Barney Clarke- Taylor... Sun.

Astrid: Astrid Taylor.

2. Do you know why are you named that?

Cate: It’s short for Catherine.

Astrid: Is that what it’s short for?

Cate: Shut up.

Barney: What are you short for?

Astrid: That’s just how I grew.

Barney: You grew?

Astrid: I didn’t come out of ma at five-foot nothin’, yeah I fuckin’ grew, ya turnip.

Cate: Barney’s short for Barnabus.

Astrid: Barney’s short for a giant.

Barney: Taller than both of you.

Astrid: Taller than everyone.

Cate: ’s not difficult to be taller than Trid.

Astrid: Shut it; Barney what’s the deal with your last name?

Barney: Clarke is my professional name, I was born a Taylor, and I married into Sun. So legally I’m Barnabus Sun-Taylor, but I’m usually credited professionally as Barney Clarke.

Astrid: Huh. Nice; I didn’t realise you and Mickey [Barney’s partner] hyphenated. I’m named Astrid ‘cos dad liked how it sounded.

3. Are you single or taken?

Barney: Taken. [Barney wiggles the fingers off his left hand, to show where a wedding ring sits neatly on his ring finger.]

Cate: Taken? Taken. Not married though, almost made that mistake before.

Astrid: Single as.

4. Have any abilities or powers?

[There’s a long silence, the three of them look at one another with confusion.]

Barney: I played a superhero once.

Astrid: Oh yeah, you were good in that, what was it-?

Barney: X-Men.

Cate: Did you really forget X-Men?

Astrid: He’s been in a lot of movies!

5. Stop being a Mary Sue.

Cate: The next time you read an alcoholic, lesbian, disaster Mary Sue, can you please send me a link?

Astrid: Hey!

Barney: I’m pretty sure it’s ‘Gary Stu’ for me?

Cate: You’re not a Gary Stu... Actually-

Astrid: Maybe a little?

Barney: I’m successful, there’s a difference, I think.

Cate: (amused) Did you put yourself through the litmus test?

Astrid: There’s a litmus test?

6. What’s your eye color?

Astrid: Blue.

Cate: Blue.

Barney: Ma’s eyes all the way; green.

7. How about your hair color?

Barney: Ginger.

Cate: I dunno, I think I’d consider myself a strawberry blonde.

Astrid: We’re a weird sliding scale between mum and dad; I’ve got dad’s blonde hair.

8. Have any family members?

[They look at each other with amusement.]

Astrid: (sarcastically) No, I’ve never seen these people before in my life.

9. Oh? How about pets?

Cate: My daughter’s been asking about getting a dog and I’m pretty sure Joe’s gonna get her one if he gets wind of how much she wants it.

Astrid: God, imagine her little face if Joe gets her a puppy, oh Christ.

Cate: She’d cry, she’d absolutely cry, like happy tears but... oh, God I’m gonna get a dog aren’t I?

Barney: Pets are great; I love Sir more every day.

Astrid: I hope [Cate’s] dog is nothing like Sir, that cat is an asshole-

Barney: Only to you.

Astrid: Barn, your cat is an asshole.

Barney: You’re an asshole.

10. That’s cool, I guess. Now tell me something you don’t like?

Astrid: Barney’s fucking cat.

Barney: Astrid.

Cate: Calm down you babies. I don’t like wearing high heels.

Astrid: Seconded.

Barney: Thirded.

11. Do you have any activities/hobbies that you like to do?

Barney: I box.

Astrid: That’s your go-to, isn’t it?

Barney: Fine, I also enjoy swimming, spending time with Mickey, and mixing drinks.

Cate: That’s cute.

Astrid: I enjoy drinking the drinks he mixes.

Cate: That’s less cute.

Barney: Drinking isn’t a hobby.

Astrid: Alright, I enjoy going to pubs to listen to music, driving fast cars, and spending time with pretty people.

Cate: Yeah, that checks out. I don’t have a lot of time for hobbies, though I play music, my bass mostly, and, ah, studying languages I guess. And spending time with Claud [her daughter], obviously.

12. Have you ever hurt anyone in any way before?

Astrid: Bar fights, mostly. Smacked a few assholes who’ve heckled Barn’s movies while I’m trying to watch them.

Barney: That’s actually kind of sweet. I’ve only been in one bar fight, and Trid finished that guy off, but other than that, and a few stunts gone wrong, a few hits in boxing, not really.

Cate: (visibly uncomfortable) Not, uh, not physically.

13. Ever… killed anyone before?

Astrid: What the fuck? No.

14. What kind of animal are you?

Cate: I think I’m a meerkat.

[Astrid immediately raises her hands up to her chest like paws, perking up and looking around, imitating a meerkat. Cate smiles, and imitates the gesture.]

Barney: Yeah, I can see it. Trid’s that terribly taxidermied- ah, [he pulls out his phone, and taps away at the screen for a moment] cheetah!

[Astrid shoves him, but both he and Cate are laughing.]

Astrid: You’re your asshole cat.

15. Name your worst habits?

Barney: Oh, Mickey actually hit the nail on the head when we did the Husband Tag on their channel the other day- follow Mickey, they’re sunteamick, all one word, on YouTube.

Cate: What did they say?

Barney: I’m too unperturbed.

Astrid: You’re too chill?

Barney: They said I’m a danger to myself because of it; got hit in the face at boxing a few months ago, broke my nose - not the first time, but still not pleasant - and went home instead of to the hospital because I didn’t think it was that bad. It wasn’t; I still should have gone to hospital but it wasn’t that bad. Much worse things could have happened, it’s just a nose.

Cate: You need to be more perturbed?

Barney: I need to be more perturbed.

Astrid: Being unperturbed isn’t exactly a habit.

Barney: I also leave the cap off the toothpaste after I use it.

Cate: That’s bad and you should feel bad.

Barney: I do, but I’ll never change. It perturbs Mickey.

Astrid: My worst habit is that - I’m a stunt driver sometimes, right, and I do mad dangerous stunts, and every time I get injured or have like, a near death experience, I don’t think like ‘oh maybe I should slow down’, I think ‘how long until I can get this fuckin’ cast off and get back behind the wheel?’.

Cate: You’re an adrenaline junkie.

Astrid: But only with dangerous car stunts.

Barney: You perturb me.

Astrid: Good.

Cate: I bite my nails.

16. Do you look up to anyone at all?

Astrid: Physically or metaphorically?

Barney: You look up to everyone physically.

[Note; Barney Clarke is 6′4. Astrid Taylor is 5′0.]

Cate: Our parents, obviously. They’re very successful, and have been through a lot. I grew up idolising them because they’re my parents, but as I came to know more about them as people, it was just natural to idolise them as people too.

Barney: Yeah, mum and dad, also Alec Baldwin.

Cate: Alec Baldwin, really? I wouldn’t have picked that.

Barney: Did you see him in Streetcar? [he hums appreciatively] That man’s career, his talent, all the stuff of legend. Meryl Streep, too.

Cate: Yeah no, I get that.

Astrid: Meryl Streep can get it.

17. Are you gay, straight or bisexual?

Barney: Uh, I’m pan?

Cate: I’m probably on the asexual spectrum, I haven’t thought about it in a while. Not aromantic though, I guess I’d be bi or pan romantic? Queer. I’m queer.

Astrid: I’m- look at me, I’m a whole damn lesbian.

18. Do you go to school?

Astrid: I take a few classes here and there, but I actually didn’t finish high school, dropped out in Year 10 with my parent’s blessing and started working as a mechanic.

Cate: I haven’t studied in a while but I have a Masters in Public Relations.

Astrid: And she speaks like eight languages.

Cate: Five.

Astrid: Still, you’re a very impressive lady.

Cate: Thanks, Trid.

Barney: I finished high school, but I’ve been working pretty steadily since then, don’t have a degree or anything.

19. Ever want to marry and have kids one day?

Cate: I’ve got Claud, I almost married her dad, but... but that would have been bad for everyone. I’m not in a hurry to get married, let’s say.

Barney: Mickey and I don’t really want to be parents just yet, maybe one day, but we’re happy just spoiling Claud when we can.

Astrid: Oh, absolutely seconded; that kid is terrifyingly sweet for how spoiled she is.

Barney: She’s so great.

Cate: She really is.

20. Do you have any fangirls/fanboys?

Astrid: I run a Barney stan account on Twitter.

Barney: Really?

Astrid: Fuck no, but he does actually have fans.

Cate: I guess we all have fans in our own way, but a lot of that, like minus Barney, who’s genuinely a star, is more because of mum and dad.

Astrid: Imagine if Claud grows up to be a Queen stan on tumblr.

Cate: That’s horrifying.

21. What are you most afraid of?

Cate: The concept of Claud finding smut about Joe.

Astrid: The concept that Cate’s found and read smut about Joe.

Barney: Why would she need it? Couldn’t she just-

Astrid: Maybe before they were together?

Cate: I hate you both.

Barney: Well, that’s not a ‘no I haven’t read smut about my boyfriend’. Also I’m afraid of submarines.

Astrid: Submarines?

Barney: The big hole in the front of them gives me anxiety.

22. What do you usually wear?

Barney: Astrid doesn’t get to answer this one because she doesn’t know what fashion is, and dresses like a single dad in the middle of his mid-life crisis.

[Astrid shrugs but keeps quiet; her shorts have oil stains on them.]

Barney: Good. I’m a fan of colourful button-downs and slacks.

Astrid: Gucci [pronounced Gucky, like ducky but with a G] button-downs, you mean.

Barney: (quietly, but with a lot of feeling) I hate you.

[Cate is laughing too hard to answer. She wears a pastel sweater and well fitting jeans.]

23. What’s one food that tempts you?

Astrid: Kracken Rum.

Cate: That doesn’t count as food.

Astrid: I’m not changing my answer.

Cate: Fine. Original Glaze Krispy Cream Donuts.

Barney: Like the ones dad used to buy us when we’d visit him on tour in America?

Cate: Yeah! God they’re good.

Barney: I’m always tempted by whatever Mickey cooks, though they don’t do it a lot. I usually cook. I enjoy it a lot.

24. Am I annoying to you?

Cate: No, you’re fine.

25. Well, it’s still not over!

Astrid: How many questions left?

26. What class are you (low/middle/high)?

[All three of them seem to become uncomfortable with the question.]

Cate: We- we’re comfortable. Our parents are Roger and Ash Taylor, we’ll always be comfortable.

27. How many friends do you have?

Cate: I’d say we’ve all got good circles - very different circles, sure-

Barney: If Astrid could stop collecting my pretty-boy costars that is.

Astrid: (smugly) It’s not my fault I’m good at making friends with your pretty-boy costars.

Barney: I’m glad people don’t realise we’re related, sometimes.

Astrid: Because I embarrass you?

Barney: (grumbling under his breath) Because everyone thinks you’re cooler than me.

Astrid: Men are so easy to get; look good, drive fast, and drink hard. Once they find out I’m gay and I can help wingman them really well, and maybe fix their cars, I’ve got ‘em, hook, line, and sinker.

Barney: That’s a bit of a generalisation, don’t you think?

Astrid: Fine; pretty boys in Hollywood are easy to get.

Barney: That much I’ll give you.

28. What are your thoughts on pie?

Cate: Actually, Barney, that apple pie you made for Easter was stunning, I was meaning to tell you.

Astrid: Easter was months ago.

Cate: I’ve been busy!

Barney: Thanks, I can send you the recipe if you like.

Cate: I’d never have the time to cook it.

Barney: I’ll make it for you again, then.

29. Favorite drink?

Astrid: Kracken. Rum.

Barney: Peanut butter and chocolate milkshake.

Cate: (again, uncomfortable) Orange juice, I guess.

30. What’s your favorite place?

Barney: The kitchen of my LA apartment, with a roast dinner in the oven and Mickey sitting at the kitchen island talking to me about their day.

Cate: Awww!

Astrid: That’s really sweet, Barn.

Cate: Well mine’s probably being side of stage at one of dad’s concerts with Claud with me.

Astrid: (quiet) Mine’s gonna sound stupid.

Cate: No, it’s- well, maybe.

Astrid: It’s just- I don’t really have like a favourite favourite place, you know? I have like, moments with people that just stick with me. Like, I shared a cigarette with Ben [Hardy] during one of Cate’s gigs and I just remember talking and laughing and looking up at the stars, and I could hear my talented as all fuck sister playing inside, and I just- it was lovely.

Cate: Trid...

Astrid: And you know, I do remember X-Men, you know? Because when you flew with that scream-thing you do in the movie? I fucking cried. I was so fucking proud, dude. My favourite place is in a cinema watching my little brother on the big screen, or at a bar watching my sister smash out some of the best rock and roll of our generation, or watching dad play, or seeing mum’s smile when she’s finally happy with an outfit- fuck, sorry I didn’t mean to get all sappy and shit.

Barney: No- Trid, no, don’t apologise.

31. Are you interested in anyone?

Astrid: Not in a long-term sense.

[Cate and Barney share a frown, before turning their identical ‘are you kidding me?’ looks on the interviewer.]

32. That was a stupid question…

Barney: Yeah, I’m married.

33. Would you rather swim in a lake or the ocean?

Cate: Ocean, always the ocean.

Barney: Yeah, I’m with you on that one.

Astrid: But the ocean has submarines in it.

Barney: Well I can’t see them so it’s fine.

Astrid: Fair cop, I also have to say ocean.

34. What’s your type?

Astrid: (teasingly) Cate likes cute, goofy actors with dumb perms and big grins and-

Cate: Astrid likes all girls ever, especially if they buy her a drink.

Astrid: Guilty as charged.

Barney: Two opposite ends of the spectrum? Every girl ever and Joe Mazzello specifically?

Cate: ... Pretty much.

35. Any fetishes?

[Astrid opens her mouth, but Cate smacks her hand over her mouth.]

Cate: That’s information I don’t need to know about my sister, thanks.

Barney: (grinning) Bondage.

Astrid: (muffled) Nice.

Cate: Christ.

Barney: That’s the tame shit, Catie.

Cate: You are my Baby Brother, shut your mouth. Ow!

[Astrid has bitten Cate’s hand. She removes her hand from Astrid’s mouth.]

Barney: I’m a married man!

Cate: I don’t want to know what you guys are into, and I don’t want you to know what I’m into, okay? We all know too much about our own family, I’d like some modicum of privacy.

Astrid: Yeah, after you see your mum bare it all in a photoshoot from the seventies with Bowie, life does get a little weird.

Barney: Oh, I forgot about that. Okay, moving on.

36. Camping or outdoors?

Astrid: Camper van.

Barney: I like hiking, but not really camping.

Cate: Claud camps in the backyard sometimes, it’s fun to join her, sometimes we stargaze.

Astrid: That’s a grossly cute image to end on.

Barney: Does Joe stargaze with you guys?

Cate: (blushing) Once or twice. Claud fell asleep on him last time. It was pretty cute.

Astrid: Oh that’s actually really cute.

Cate: Yeah, it was.

The Wide Spectrum of Femininity and Gender

While most people are closely tied to a very rigid, binary outlook of viewing gender this is hardly the true reality of how humans express themselves with gender. The range it can go is not a simple thing to measure, as emotions are not a logical thing to be put on a 1-10 scale. The ways in which we act out and preform our gender is entirely of our own creation, the way in which we feel comfortable moving and living in our own skin. Though, this view of owning the agency of our own gender is by in large viewed as should be in the binary of man and woman based on biological and social dictations, we need to open the eyes and gates of our society to allow freedom in how we enact our gender.

Samaria Budd

Interviewing people that identify as non-binary and gender fluid. I will not identify the individuals by name, but rather refer to them by their pronouns they gave me.

Individual #1, identities as non-binary: they/them/their

Individual #2 identities as gender fluid: he/his/him or zhe/zir/zhim (I am choosing to refer to the individual within the blog as him because at the time this was the pronoun that him currently choose to use that day)

My first question that I asked is what them/he considered their gender to be and why they felt the need to go against the binary? The response that individual two gave me was he wanted to feel male or masculine because of the dominance that is associated with male masculinity. Even with his body being feminine, he doesn’t want to be seen as feminine and waking up to a feminine body makes him angry, even being called feminine upset him. This leading him to choose a gender-neutral name that allows him to be seen as male or gender-fluid.

The next question I was asked because the previous conversation had made it seem like femininity was seen as a negative thing. I do want to note here that this is entirely based off my assumption and not what the individuals actually stated to me. I asked why do they/he see femininity as weakness and why does masculinity relate to strength even though both individuals have feminine bodies? Individual two explained the examples of boobs, although boobs are pretty to look at it is a giant inconvenience. He continued to explain that he didn’t even want breasts further explaining by the unfairness that women or people with feminine bodies have to purchase expensive bras and waste their money on other expensive things. Individual one told me that they are seen by other people as a woman because of their body. They bind and wear loose clothing to hide their breasts or hips from people who would assume their gender. They don’t want to be seen as a woman, just as themselves, calling their gender as a “weebly, wobbly, gendered something”.

I asked both individuals if it was accurate that they/he both wanted to just be seen as a person and both responded with an enthusiastic, “yes”. I inquired where they/him believed gender-fluidity and non-binary can from? Did it come from not wanting to be sexualize, objectified or categorized that would therefore place limits on their existence? Individual one told me they are okay with showing their body when they are with the right people, like close friends that see them as a person rather than a feminine body existing within the gender binary. Individual two cuts his hair in an androgynous style and changed his name to an androgynous name in order to feel more comfortable. He explains to me that he has feminine moments, but those only last for a few seconds or minutes. Indvidual one finished the question with telling me that genitals shouldn’t decide your personality and gendered roles are wrong. I asked individual one how they feel about drag, since it is a play on the binary does it discredit gender-fluid or non-binary genders? They explained to me that drag is a play, a person doing drag can be transgender and it doesn’t take anything away from that person’s gender identity.

I also wanted to ask what are the biggest challenges of existing out the binary. Individual one responded that it is often tiring. If someone purposely doesn’t want to use the correct pronoun even after them ask given the correct pronoun to use. Gendered language is also a huge challenge, English is not such a huge deal because it isn’t as gendered as other languages, an example being German, that doesn’t allow for other pronouns to be used, because even the pronouns and nouns have to be gendered with the binary. Them also talked about the dysphoria they experience from other people that make them feel invalid in their ‘non-binary-ness’.

Colby Keller

Jade Stone-LaFontayne: identifies as a trans-woman and female-impersonator

Priscilla Divine: identifies as a cis-gender male and preforms drag

Jade Stone-LaFontayne: My first question was When did you first hear of drag and what was your first impression of it.

Jade Stone-LaFontayne:

One of my moms best friends was a gay male. Who did drag on and off for years and he dressed up for my moms birthday party one year when I was in about 6th grade. I was in awe. Like what is this big beautiful woman!?

Colby Keller:

Did he explain drag to you at that time?

Jade Stone-LaFontayne:

Well it was kind of unspoken he didn’t have too. Mom said “that’s chris, chasity is chris” and I just got it..

Colby Keller:

So when was the first time you did drag?

Jade Stone-LaFontayne:

My freshman year of high school.

Colby Keller:

What was the circumstance?

Jade Stone-LaFontayne:

“Powderpuff” at my high school the girls would play football and the boys would dress as women, whatever boy raised the most donation money won princess(freshman/sophomore) and queen (junior/senior) I won powder puff princess then went on to win powder puff queen my senior year..

Colby Keller:

Do you cite that as your start as a budding queen?

Jade Stone-LaFontayne:

Yes. It was amazing feeling.

Colby Keller:

Explain that feeling to me, what made you want to peruse it?

Jade Stone-LaFontayne:

The fact that i was so comfortable and it was the piece to the puzzle that made me feel like I fit in instead of being left out.. I felt like myself so it was my outlet.. the only time I could be myself but have an “excuse” to be.

Colby Keller:

Why did it make you feel like you fit in?

Jade Stone-LaFontayne:

Because I later become to realize I was trans. And it wasn’t a phase. So the feeling of fitting in was just being comfortable in my own skin.

Colby Keller:

So what would you label yourself

Jade Stone-LaFontayne:

A queen, female impersonator, trans woman. I’m a trans woman. Who happens to be a drag queen.

Colby Keller:

So I wanna know about your thoughts on gender. How do you construct your womanhood? What do you think it means to be a woman?

Jade Stone-LaFontayne:

I’m not a “woman” nor can I ever be. I’m a trans woman. I don’t want people to see me and be like she’s a woman(which yes it feels good) but I wanna be the part of trans community who makes it okay to say.. “oh she’s a trans woman” we are our own gender. And there is so many more.

Colby Keller:

So you don’t want to hold to the stereotype of what women are usually seen as?

Jade Stone-LaFontayne:

Yes. Because I don’t want women to think trans women are representing them wrong. Because just as us trans women are, women have fought hard for their rights which is part of my inspiration.

Colby Keller:

So what have you based your sense of femininity upon? Do you have any idols or inspiration?

Jade Stone-LaFontayne:

Firstly taking care of yourself. The 20’s when women started to wear what they want. Makeup, hair, nails. I’m still very traditional, a woman cooks for their man, cleans, does laundry. Is pretty to go to the mailbox. That’s femininity to me speaking as a future wife and my goals sense. I look up to Michelle Obama. Lavern Cox. P!nk. And even Madea. There’s so many more. They all have a message from a different standpoint. And they are all important to biological and trans women.

Colby Keller:

What do you think are the main aspects of your look and how you present yourself as a woman?

Jade Stone-LaFontayne:

What I’m comfortable in. If you own it, your comfortable, people will feel that. And own it with you. I have so many different looks. And I don’t want to be known for a certain “look” or hair style. I just wanna be comfortable.

Colby Keller:

Does your more traditional view on gender roles conflict in The LGBTQ community in your mind?

Jade Stone-LaFontayne:

No. Because that’s my personal future goals or plans. Everyone else’s is different. I mean I’m sure there’s people who would disagree. That’s just my opinion. That’s the beauty of the lgbtq+ community we are all so diverse and live such different lives. Regardless of how others see us.

Colby Keller:

So would you agree that in just that option we have to live that life is good enough if we want it to be our life

Jade Stone-LaFontayne:

I don’t understand the question..

Colby Keller:

If you can life that traditional life and that’s what you want that’s awesome you can now live it. Being a part of the LGBTQ community that was so long excluded from it.

Jade Stone-LaFontayne:

Well now we have the luxury of living the traditional life but at the same time be able to step out of that.. like gay couples bringing their adopted kids to pride celebrations.. gay couples or “trans couple”(man and trans woman or vice versa) being able to still have a family and do drag, run for pageants, etc, we still have goals and can achieve them. Still living a traditional lifestyle

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Priscilla Divine: The first question I asked to gain her understanding about gender was when was your first exsposure to drag.

Priscilla Divine:

In jr high school I saw the movie Priscilla queen of the desert on vh1, I didn’t know exactly what is was but that was my first time seeing anything like that. At 16 I got a fake Id and started going to the stonewall in Huntington where I met and befriended lots of the queens there. I would have been 11 when I saw that movie

Colby Keller:

What did it make you feel like?

Priscilla Divine:

Like I want such a weirdo o

Colby Keller:

Why did you feel that way

Priscilla Divine:

Growing up in wv you always feel like the odd ball, I like to always be the center of attention. And I found that via drag. It helped me express myself and sure filled in voids where I wasn’t so masculine, I wasn’t into sports or cars etc

Colby Keller:

What got you to break into drag?

Priscilla Divine:

Like I said I befriended many queens I spent most of my time in the dressing room helping them get ready. And one night they were like why are you not doing this too. And I was like ohhh I can’t I wouldn’t be good, which was met with makeup brushes and wigs flying, ronica reed tami whynot Martina desarea’ and heather Monroe got me together and shoved me out on stage. My original drag name was Priscilla hunt… And I was hooked. I always had fem facial features so it wasn’t a huge jump haha’ There at the stonewall I developed my love for all things extravagant, huge hair feathers rhinestones etc, I’m glad I stated drag back then, when bars where the only place for people like us to go. Queens are like gays version of celebrities. I have been very lucky that people all over wv have grown to love me as an entertainer. And other states also.

Colby Keller:

So as a queen what are your inspirations and idols?

Priscilla Divine:

Chelsea pearl Mimi marks Taj Mahal Victoria lePaige chili pepper, Michelle st james Martina desarea, roxxxy Andrews cezanne dee ranged Carmella Marcella Garcia regine Phillips. I could go on and on

Colby Keller:

Just for yourself could you name just one?

Priscilla Divine:

Being able to bring some of the nations top queens into Sw gave me time to spend with so many of them who influenced me. Sorry I miss read that.

Colby Keller:

It’s fine I know those queens and they work it lol

Priscilla Divine:

What inspires me to do drag?

Colby Keller:

Yes.

Priscilla Divine:

Honestly the crowd, My job is to make them feel something. To be a story teller as odd as that may sound. Music is how we express our emotions. I want them to feel something when they see me. Joy sadness happiness, doing a song that reminds them of good times and bad it’s all part of it. I like to make eye contact with people during me show, being them into it. Make them smile , let them know they mean something for that moment. Obviously they mean something all the time. But at that moment it’s just me and them. Life isn’t percent, I have to put on a smile and try to do the same for all of them.

Colby Keller:

So as a man impersonating a woman what are your thoughts on femininity and womanhood?

Priscilla Divine:

You are what you are.

Colby Keller:

Explain.

Priscilla Divine:

Well…As a queen I have 100% ability to transition myself into a woman. I need to fit that part. Walk in heels good have good skin nails hair. It’s almost taken to the extreme, always keeping in mind that people are watching what I do. I was raised by several strong women in my life. So I have lots of respect and admiration for all women. I’m a true feminist. I don’t do drag to take Anything away from real women. More to celebrate them. My mom has huge boobs, So do I. She loves jewelry, and so do I. My aunt always wore the finest clothes and big 80’s hair and well again so do I! I’d like to think I am the best of all parts of the people who raised me. They all had something to do with who I am. Both as jerry and Priscilla.
