Life at the Top of the Drag Queen Circuit is No Laughing Matter for Christina Leenew
Lee is a perfectionist, a diva and a professional. She’s been competing in beauty pageants for more than 15 years.

Love Me Two (or More) Times; Monogamy not cutting it? Maybe you're a polyamoristnew
Shara Smith looks pretty normal. She’s petite with a pale complexion and long dark hair that falls well below the waist of her thin frame. Smith is 30, outgoing, childless and has a career as a lighting and video technician that allows her to make her own hours. Even her hobbies are pretty standard: photography, cross-stitching, ballroom and swing dancing, making costumes out of liquid latex. (OK, that last one is a little out there.)
The only hint a casual observer might have that she’s not wholly middle-of-the-road is the message on the black camisole she wears during a recent interview: “My boyfriend says I need to be more affectionate,” it reads, “so now I have 2 boyfriends.”
