| Sep 14, 2009 | Reply

Gospel music done by a drag entertainer? Hey, why not. Although, please don’t call Our Lady J a drag queen. She’s been known to take serious issue with that.

| Sep 7, 2009 | Reply

It happens to us all at one time or another. We’re out and about enfemme and someone will refer to you as “ma’am.” How do you take that? The dictionary defines “madam” as the term you use when you’re speaking to a lady. The English language tends to lose letters and replace them with apostrophes […]

Perpetual Change — Roger Anthony Mapes (Part 2)

| Aug 31, 2009 | Reply

Last month was the first installment of our interview with Roger Anthony Mapes, a.k.a Yolanda.

Linda Jensen — Amanda’s Holiday

TRANSVOCALIZERS — Lucas Silveira

| Aug 17, 2009 | Reply

Lucas Silveira isn’t your standard fare for this column. While our initial focus was on drag entertainers who sing in their own voice, Lucas, as a transman, certainly doesn’t fill that bill. No matter, though, because this is a transgender artist who is beginning to make an international impact, and will help to advance positive […]

PERPETUAL CHANGE: Roger Mapes/Yolanda

| Aug 3, 2009 | Reply

Any musician whose career has a lasting shelf-life has learned the art of reinventing themselves. The best examples are probably Madonna, Elton, and David Bowie. Granted, that’s a short list, but you get the point. The question that comes to mind after awhile though is this: what’s more important—the public image or the actual music? […]
