KELLY MANTLE
 
How long have you been performing in drag?
When I was five years old I insisted on auditioning for the role of Little Orphan Annie. They turned me away, but I still felt pretty, dammit!


What influences your drag persona? 
I’m like a tranny on a hot tin roof. My only pain is champagne. I’m a little glam, I’m a little film noir.


Drag horror story:
I had just moved to L.A., and it was my very first movie premiere red carpet event. As I pulled up to the event in the dimly lit parking lot, I fished around in my purse for my lipliner and touched up my lips. I strutted up and down that red carpet, photos flashing, mingling with the stars. Then 20 minutes later when I went to the bathroom to freshen up, I realized that I had outlined my lips in black eyeliner. I wondered why everyone was looking at me so strange.


Where to find Kelly Mantle:
Her one-person show, The Confusion Of My Illusion, running at the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center Theatre March 26 through April 11. Tranzkuntinental at The Roxy on April 23. Visit kellymantle.com for more info.
