What is known

Documented. Every row names the source it rests on.

Paisley Parque began performing drag in Greensboro in August 1990. [www.yesweekly.com] She describes her persona and aesthetic as a cross between Mae West and Miss Piggy. [www.yesweekly.com] She hosts the monthly drag show 'The Sex Kitten Roundup' at Chemistry Nightclub in Greensboro. [www.yesweekly.com] Paisley Parque recalled the legal risk drag performers faced in Greensboro when she started. [www.yesweekly.com] On Aug. 22, 2020, she marked her 30th year in drag with a socially-distanced drag dinner show featuring performances by Aria Russo, Rose Jackson and Ariel Knight Addams. [www.yesweekly.com] She described the significance of her three-decade career as she looked toward retirement. [www.yesweekly.com] During the COVID-19 pandemic she took her longest break from performing in 30 years — the first time she had gone more than a month without performing — before returning to do one live show and one digital show. [www.yesweekly.com]

“There was a law that you had to have on at least two articles of male clothing if you are out in public in drag, or you could be arrested. In the early '90s, queens were very careful about being out in public or coming and going to the bar because you could be stopped and arrested.” [www.yesweekly.com]
“I am reaching the end of my career, and I know that at the end of the day, I have made a good mark on the drag industry, and that is something that I can be proud of.” [www.yesweekly.com]
