Madame Heinz
Age: 39
Location: Stockholm, Sweden
About:
“Madame Heinz was the result of a series of coincidences. Had you told me three years ago that I would be a well known drag queen in Sweden, I would just have laughed. It started as a fun thing with my boyfriend of the time, where we went out in drag a couple of times. One thing led to another and after three months of doing drag, I was the official hostess of the Stockholm gay club King Kong and people wanted to book me.
And why the beard? When I started, I had never heard of bearded queens or Mathu Andersen (who many think inspired my drag)…I had just starting growing my beard and didn’t want to remove it…so, another coincidence. As time went by, I realized I really got inspired by all kinds of gender bending and I stopped wearing fake boobs and hip padding and stopped tucking. Also, people of all gender expressions started thanking me for being a role model for them, showing the world that you can be and look like whatever you want to or feel like. I even got a message on Instagram telling of a person who decided not to end their life after seeing my Instagram. So, what began as a fun thing is now a part of the fight of letting everybody decide who they are, who they wanna be and what they want to look like.
Behind all the bearded fabulousness, I’m a classically trained professional singer and conductor, who works with customer service 9 to 5 at an office…”
