Marks' Milestones

Happy Halloween!

October has been such a whirlwind—juggling a new job and shows every weekend has kept me super busy, but in the best way possible! I've always loved October; there's just something about the changing weather and the anticipation of the holidays that makes it so special. I'm soaking in every bit of the autumn vibes and looking forward to all the fun that's coming. 

This month began with a super fun Wicked-themed brunch at The Greenwood, hosted by Lana O’Day! It was definitely a highlight. I got to hang out with Monique Michaels-Alexander, Debbie With A D, and Laveau Contraire – we're always a riot together! My look was inspired by Glinda, the Good Witch. Later, I performed at the Bourbon Pub and Parade. Given that it's October, I'm really leaning into a spooky and goth aesthetic for all my performances this month. The show was hosted by Aubrey Synclaire, as usual, and featured Zhane Kennedy and Gia Giovanni! I seriously love performing with these talented entertainers; it's always a great experience.

The following weekend was a whirlwind of performances! It kicked off with Aubrey Synclaire's Ladies of Lipstixx drag show. I was thrilled to share the stage with the always-fabulous Tiffany Alexander, Amber Douglas, and YaRai D Alexander. But the night didn't stop there. I immediately headed over to Oz to join the Ladies of Oz for their weekly Sunday show. Getting to perform with this crew is always a highlight, and this show was no exception. The lineup was stacked with talent, including the First Lady of Oz herself, Dominique DeLorean, Anastasia Davenport, Chi Chi Rodriguez, Connie Hung, Jojo (The Lady Munster herself!), and Mistie Bonet. The whole night was a rush, and the Oz show was the perfect way to cap it off – a truly wonderful time!

My next adventure took me to The Four Seasons for the highly anticipated premiere of Dominique DeLorean's new monthly show, "Lipstick-N-Stilettos." This show features Daphanie Dupree and myself hosted by Dominique DeLorean. We had an absolutely wonderful time bringing the show to life, and I must admit, some of the most unforgettable moments happened behind the scenes in the dressing room – the laughter and camaraderie were non-stop! Then, barely a day later, it was a complete 180 as I geared up for our big Halloween show at the Bourbon Pub and Parade. This was a full-on spectacle with a powerhouse cast including Aubrey Synclaire, Tiffany Alexander, Mercedez Loreal, Zhane Kennedy, and Gia Giovanni. The costumes were outrageous, and we had an absolute blast! 

It's hard to believe October is almost over; it feels like just yesterday it was the first of the month! October has been an absolute whirlwind of fun and excitement, and I'm so thankful for every moment. As we move into November, I'll cherish the memories made and look forward to what's to come. This month has been a reminder to slow down, appreciate the beauty around me, and cherish the connections I have with family and friends. I'm excited to carry this positivity forward into the rest of the year.

For Halloween, my partner Michael and I decided to transform into the iconic duo of Beetlejuice and Lydia! Be on the look out for photos! 

Hope your October has been just as amazing!
