Melodie and I grew up in middle of nowhere Richmond Hill, Ga. Atleast back then it was nothing to brag about, and served as the back drop of our awkward early years in life. I remember she had a beach ball with a globe printed on it, and after school we would listen to anthem house music and draw all over it in sharpie the places we wanted to go one day. The day we could get out, finally get out of there. Desperate we were most of the time back then for excitement. For life, maybe as we saw it on t.v. but however we knew that the cradle of what we were looking for wasn't there. As time went on we began to grow up, and grew up together as best friends. Once attempting to form a band when we were very young. We knew our mission was to be able to express to the world ,the people we knew we were inside. New romantic-esque dark over the top clothing gave way to, spikes and patches, and eventually to bright plastic jewelry. Covering each other in glitter and fur, dying our hair and taking on pseudo names to "define" our personality. Now we felt we were ready to make something of being seen and being what we wanted to be. Our roads along the way during our journey has spanned many miles, but some how we still end up somewhere near our home town. y Many years later we met Dax at a club in downtown Savannah called Velouria . Never will I forget the memories that were made between us all during our time there. As I type this I'm getting misty eyed. Dax, Melodie and I became fast friends, as well as everyone else that worked there and frequented the club (you know who you are), we became family. One bright, shiny,colorful in personality and appearance, weird little family. When Dax called me and informed me he was free for Halloween I squealed with excitement. NOT ONLY was he one of my very best friends, BUT also has been crowned Atlanta's Best Drag Queen, two years in a row. Of course I could squeeze him in. After our conversation I sat back and began to reminisce. The images of all the pictures of us that were taken back then started to roll through my mind, and now I'd like to share some of those awesome memories with you all. Yes these might make you laugh... and thats ok.
