I recently did a blog with a Drag Queen friend of mine for my new blog site. Here's an excerpt from the interview.
Described by some (namely herself) as THE Entertainer, female illusionist Della Licious, has been performing for nearly 9 years in Indiana. Della was Indiana's first drag queen radio personality for HOT 107.9 FM. I had the opportunity to see Della's first show, and also get my face shoved into her bosom at least twice. I realized that to many people the life of being a female illusionist, or drag queen, might be a bit of a mystery.
I met Della way back.....this was back when we worked together, and my days were wrought with cleaning sequins up off the floor at work, because someone decided to make a headdress in the back room. Of course, there were also the endless hours of fun making fake tears out of Fabri-tack, and "catty-ness" contests. I also realized a bit too late play fighting with a drag queen was serious when i was thrown through a door on "accident". I thought I might ask a good friend some questions so that you too might come to know Della Licious.
DeKOi: So if I may be so bold, how old are you?
Della Licious: Though I am not celebrating my birthday from this year on... in November I will be acknowledging the 30th anniversary of me being clean of meth. And I have never done meth.
DeKOi: That's a good track record. You must have a good support network...lol. What types of titles have you held?
Della: I am a former Miss Gay Allen County, a former Miss After Dark, a former Miss Gay Indiana Show queen, a former Miss Gay Indiana University, and the current Miss Fort Wayne Gay Pridefest. I have travelled the country doing shows and have worked with the very famous and the never-gonna-be famous. I was Indiana's first drag queen radio personality.
DeKOi: What are the duties that go along with the titles?
Della: Duties that go along with most titles are to perform at functions/bars that own the title. Another duty is to be present to hand the title off to the next queen.
DeKOi: Do you cut ribbons at events? And if so do you get to keep the giant pair of scissors?
Della: I have actually never cut a ribbon. I haven't even cut an umbilical cord...and for that I am very thankful. I do wish that I had a giant pair of scissors, though. You know, to cut a bitch.
