Goddess Among Us:
Kira Stone
Kira Stone is a legend in Providence. She has a penetrating and passionate presence, escorting her audiences into a fiery emotional realm with her lip-syncs to Celine Dion, Melissa Etheridge, Taylor Swift and Amy Grant. Kira throws her full self into each song, leaving nothing behind. She could easily become the next great “lip-sync assassin”. In her weekly stand-up at her Tuesday gig with cohost Lili Whiteass, Kira gets dirty on the mic - recounting tales of fantastical sexual escapes and eating steak & cheese subs in lascivious detail.
My Violet Chachki Summer 💜
Violet Chachki is unabashedly sex-positive. She exudes an expensive style of self-confidence and poise and yet she can also be super silly when she’s with Gottmik on their hit YouTube show “No Gorge” - which is basically two snooty drag queens clowning around 👑
This summer I had two opportunities to see my diva perform in all her glory. One, an up-close club gig and the other, her epic drag-burlesque-acrobatic masterpiece, A Lot More Me.
Why I Became a Drag Queen…
I started doing drag the week of my 46th birthday in February of 2020, about a month before the pandemic lock-down. I attended a fundraiser for the Providence-made scary-movie Death Drop Gorgeous, held at Barnaby Castle on Broadway in Providence with my brother and my roommate at-the-time - it was an exciting, glamorous event and perfect for my Pisces-birthday!
