From Ugly Ducking to Graceful Swan, Well More like a Canadian Goose...

I would like to take some time and thank two wonderful Queens who have adopted me since my move to Haverhill,MA. Selena Kyle and Venessa Sweet have become my Fairy Drag Mothers and shown me how to become a star. Selena met me and saw the diamond that I was hidden underneath a whole lot of rough, sass and a bit more then a touch of trash. At this point in my life I had been preforming as AmanDa Fondle for 8 years, and was one of the longest standing queens at the University of Maine. I had preformed at a number of bars and shows, and had the pleasure of sharing the stage with Mimi Imfurst from RuPaul's Drag Race. But even with this impressive pedigree there was definitely some work needed.
Look at that Kesha like hot Mess!

Did I mention Trashy?

Ok This one is a favorite
 So This is the Pre-Make over Amanda. I was uncoordinated, had no concept of contouring and all around hot mess, but what I did have going for me was personality and persona. Amanda had no shame, especially after a cocktail or three. Some famous lines include: "Who do I need to blow to get a drink around here?" "Same as yours baby, AManDa Fondle!" or my personal favorite "That boy is like a mobile Chinese buffet, Delicious, tasty and terrible for your hips." Like I said before, Amanda was not the classiest broad out there, but at least she was funny.

So enter Selena and Venessa:
Venessa and Selena


Miss Selena Kyle
Miss Venessa Sweet
These two queens took me under their wings and taught me how to go from Trashy hot mess, to the Drag Princess I am today. They have shown me how to move and how to properly contour my face. Here is what I look like today.
Look at that Cleavage! and those cheeks!
No wig, just make-up and some towels and I still give good face!





You can give me a pretty face, but Amanda will always love the Vino
And at the End of the night, I still have work todo



I have come a long way with more then a little help from my Fairy Drag Mothers, but I still do have a lot of work ahead of me, but I have two of the best teachers around to help me along the way!
Thanks for everything Selina and Venessa! I would not be half the queen I am today if not for you two!
