Addressed to Kill
Our New York friend Chip Duckett writes:
Although I have never done drag, I keep my options open. I've always said that, if I decided to DQ, I'd pick the name Jennifer Convertibles – even though I know it's a little New York-centric and if I decided to drag myself into stardom it would be worldwide stardom. It doesn't really stand up to the legendary names like International Chrysis (!!!). It barely stands up west of Philadelphia. My second choice was always Mariel Boatlift, which sadly betrays my age.
In spite of my gazillions of hours watching cartoons, how did I not think of renaming myself Hannah Barbera in that instance? Thanks for opening my eyes. If I decide to DQ it before tomorrow, I'll race every queen on the planet to copyright it. Otherwise, I'll just congratulate whoever does. And I can't believe you didn't hang onto Hannah B. for yourself.

Mine, you ask? Tara Nipploff.
Still rox.
I like Jennifer Convertible. I like that "Convertible" has so many meanings pertaining to the subject at hand. But yes, since "J.C." is well known and nationwide, this opens you the name up for other beginnings, "Genderher Convertible" etc.

there are jennifer convertible stores all over the country; your name would be understood nationwide.
now, my drag queen name, if it were even possible for me to be a drag queen what with my gender and all, would be the obscure moniker of Kaye Ingleside, meaningful only to people in san francisco who take the bus. the name kaye is so great, and reminds me of kaye ballard, who i saw at the cubby hole one time in nyc. at least i think it was her.
