A Interveiw With The Show
Diva Blaize!
This interview
was released by Blaize to QueerMagnet.com on February
12, 2006.
My name is Blaize I'm a Showgirl "Entertainer"!
I have many Interest both inside and out of entertaining
crowds around the world! One of my favorite hobbies
is creating my very own costumes. Growing up as
a artist has also given me the great privilege
to have many costume designs at hand. I also enjoy
meeting all the fabulous"Fans" and fellow
"Entertainers" in the business of female
Impersonation. Truely hope to meet everyone in
the entire time of my career.
1. How long have you
been performing?
I have been behind the scenes
for seven years (back up dancing and pageant work).
I have been entertaining crowds as a showgirlfor
Five Years. During the duration of being behind
the scenes it has gave me much knowledge and expereince
to incorprate what I learned into my very own
style entertainment today. Traveling to many us
states and foriegn countries as well so much of
the different styles and techniques from many
big names in the business lay within my own form
of entertainment.
2. Who are your role models and did you
have a Drag Mother?
Very nice question and (I do get
this quesation alot) since I have been compared
to most of or all of my role models. My most cherished
role model is the very lovely and legendary "Sable
Chanel" I admire her for just about everthing
( Professionalism,style and her stage persona)!
I have never had a "drag mother" I've
always just listened and took notes...I suggest
all newcomers to apply this if you don't currently
have a "drag mother".
3. Where did you get your
start in the world of Drag?
<>Georgia and New York.
Over 10 years ago I Traveled around the globe
and was very much into the club scene I guess
you could call me at the time a"Club Kid"
I dabbled in to the "costumes" and of
course makeup and from there eventuley came the
entire Showgirl experience thatI currently produce
on strage today.
4. What sets you apart
from other entertainers?
With the witness of many great
names in the business I have always strived to
also fallow there footsteps and at the same time
set a new standerd for newcomers and beyond to
all witness as well...I place alot of this with
being a 'True Proffesional" and a savvy business
minded entertainer.My theory is not only make
it worth your time but everyone elses as well
after all this can be very profitable career if
you make it one! Im a prime example if you place
alot of hard work into what you do it will pay
off in the end!
5.Congrats on your 1st
runner up spot to the Dragtastic OnlineEntertainer
of the Year.How did you feel when it was announced
that you had the 1st runner up spot?
Thank You so Kindly... When I
was first nominated out of eighty national contestants
then did I realize who my fans where as the emails
and phone call's had started rolling with such
kind words and positive responces. I had then
sat back and thought how important this experience
may prevale for me and took steps to make sure
it was worth my time by setting forth a powerhouse
of promotional work such as both online and offline
posters,flyers etc. When I recieved the confirmatoin
from the editor of "Dragtastic.com"
that I had placed 1st runner up with competing
with other entertainers such as "Wendy Williams"
I was floored and excited and knew that even due
to the fact I was not the winner that my work
had payed off and it was every bit worth my time
and of course my supporters.I look forward to
also running next year!
6.Have you done any other
pageants?
I have not yet competed in any
pageants however I currently have a couple big
future goels ahead of me such as National "EOY"
and of course my dream crown of "Miss Universal
Show Queen" both systems represent all I
stand for in the business and I hope one day to
be able to bring home both crowns!
7.What is your favorite
song to perform?
Being a showgirl I have many songs
I love and admire but my all time favorite is
the theme song from my website "Fantasy"
by Black Box! The words to this song speak to
me and my audeince.... Its what Im representing
a "Illsusion" and some cases a "Fantasy"!!
When I travel to city to city I always bring the
costume to this song as I always have a fan asking
me to perform this.... I love this Song!!
8.Where do you get all
of those fierce headpieces and costumes that you
wear?
I spend countless hours making
everthing I wear! I have also learned everything
on my own from making a headress to sewing a gown
it has all came from within me! I credit this
gift from "God" as most of my very own
talent is being creative! This also is one of
my biggest enjoyments of this business and of
course making a audeince member smile!
9. What advise can you
give new girls trying to make a break in the business?
Listen, Listen and listen some
more!! Try to set new positive standerds and never
be afraid of change and being creative with your
own style!! Take a little peice from all your
favorites and roll into what you can call your
very own! Be honest and always be yourself...
this will open many positive doors in your career!Always
remember what you put into it will always pay
off in the future!
10. What is your favorite
place to perform?
In all my travels both east and
west coast I would have to say my home state of
"Georgia" the old saying goes your home
is where your heart is and my heart is in that
audeince in Georgia....granted I love all my fans
no matter where I step onstage however there is
something special in "Georgia" that
can not be described!
11. If you could change
one thing about the current Drag Scene today,what
would it be and why?
"POLITICS" we could
all live without it! It only makes our cummunity
divided and also seem smaller than it already
is.
12. What can we expect
from Blaize in the future?
Being a very creative entertainer
and person there are many upcoming and planned
surprises in the future or yet to be annouced!I
cannot not tell all of them as they are what they
are meant to be surprises... but as of current
I have a mini summer tour simply labeled "Fire
& Ice" in current production and I also
plan on hitting the road even more thru out the
rest of 2005-2006 so to all my fans, freinds and
supporters be on the look out for this "Showgirl"
coming soon in a city near You!
