BuffaloGayBars would like to list ALL the Drag Queens and all the
Drag Performers. This is not an honor or any sort of selection
process. ALL are welcomed to be
listed on this page. BuffaloGayBars will not
chose or bio any of the performers or queens unless requested to do
so, and with their permission. All mini bio's on this page
were written by the queen or by her friends. It is the intent
of this page to offer a quick picture and a quick mini bio to any
organization or group or to any person whom may want to see who the
performers are, at the next show or event. Several of the
major drag queens in Buffalo, have not submitted or requested their
inclusion on this page for what ever reason they have. Some of
them have contributed much of their time and have benefited the city
of Buffalo. The listing of their crowns, titles and benefits
would be very extensive. Maybe putting a lifetime of
accomplishment into a paragraph or two is a little overwhelming ?? Friends
of these Queens maybe should help them submit a picture and bio.
Google, Yahoo etc searches
like this page, and a search done for any of these names will
probably point to this page. |
| Drag in Buffalo NY The Queens of the Queen City
Buffalo NY has many of the Finest Drag Queens
in the world. This page will allow all the Drag Queens a place to tell the
world who they are and how they look. If another website or news
organization needs a little information, they can copy the general description
and the picture. In this way, if a performer is doing a benefit, pageant
or show, there is a quick reference available. When a drag
show or pageant is announced on this website, the visitor can find out quickly
who the performer is. The websites with a great drag following, such as
Vicki Rene, will be linking to this site, to allow the whole world to know how
active the Drag scene is in Buffalo NY.
Already, the names of some of these
performers can be found in all the search engines on the web, by just entering their name . By entering their name with Drag Queen, or Buffalo NY, most of
Queens can be found quickly from any place in the world.
This site will group the drag queens into
3 sections. The first is Drag Queens that are the regular cast
members of shows at the bars and clubs in Buffalo NY. The second section
is for Queens who occasionally perform around Buffalo and perhaps all over the
world. The third section is for the Drag Queens who enjoy the Drag
lifestyle and culture, but who usually do not perform.
This website needs to advertise and to be
advertised. Any Drag show around Buffalo can be announced, but please put
this site on any other advertisements for the shows. The more links from
other websites, the more people will suddenly appear at the next event.
