At 13, when I was a runaway, I was taken in by the most amazing drag queens in Portland, Ore. We didn't always know where our next meal was coming from, but there was so much camaraderie and love. Not to mention, those girls could paint a face, and I learned how because of them.

Queen Victoria

Houston, it looks like we got us a Dragon by the tail.

Don Pettit

I always respect a woman.
