(Queen of Trash)

 
Queen of Trash here! I’m the 38DD anti-heroine of the Queen of Trash comics! This all began back in summer of 2001 when I was attending the Trash Film Orgy. They had a contest for the Queen of Trash, it was set up like a beauty pageant. They picked me out of the audience, and I have to admit becoming a little stage shy when I saw every anorexic girl in vinyl up there as well. To my great surprise, the three hundred-something people there went crazy for me! I really felt like I had found my element! Luckily so did the host, the fabulous comedian, Francois Fly. He kept bringing me on stage and introducing me as the Queen of Trash. At the same time a new television show was being produced in Sacramento, Cinema Insomnia. It's host, Mr. Lobo would do cameo appearances. I was invited to help on stage for all of the Cinema Insomnia. events in Sacramento.
In 2003 I got the first challenge to my throne. The producers of the Trash Film Orgy. had changed, and they decided that the character I created with , Francois Fly. was so cool, that they wanted their Drag Queen friend to play it instead of me! So, they set up a Meat Wrestling match, in which I am supposed to throw the fight and let Duckie (A.K.A. Brittany Spares) win. So, the Meat Wrestling was awesome, they broke the Midnight Movie record for attendance at the Crest. There were over 650 people who came out for it! So to my knowledge it is a kiddie pool of meat, and the sportscasters are seated at a break-away table… I find out before going on stage that the meat was now mixed with beets to give it Queen of Trash, Sexy Pin Up, Betty Page, Amazon Womana gorier look. The fight starts fine, we fight outside the pool, we get in the pool. It smells wretched! At one point Ducky, I think he took the name Super Boom Boom for the show, grabs a handful of meat and shoves it down my top! It was nasty. The way the fight works was that I actually win, through cheating, so I am disqualified and Duckie becomes the new QoT. So, I win, the ref is going crazy, so I get out of the pool to clobber him…. All of a sudden.. Both feet fly over my head and I land on my back! The soles of my shoes were COVERED in beets! I took one offf; luckily my knee-high buckle boots had zippers on the side. I go to take the second boot off, and the zipper pull breaks! So I am trapped in one (4 inch platform) boot and I have to take on the ref. That done I walk over to the Breakaway table with the shit-talking sportscasters… No one told me that they weren’t able to find a breakaway table in time. So when I "shatner" the table, you can hear the reverberations of my poor bruised wrists in the microphones, on the (very solid) table. One sportscaster was rigged with a blood pack and a jello heart. So I rip out his heart, and all I have to do is walk (awkwardly with one platform) off stage… I could feel the meat drying to my tits, so for good measure I took a bite of the Jello heart and spit it into the face of my opponent. I think I am finally done, and I head towards the Green Room to ice my ass, but upon exit, I put too much weight on my remaining beet covered boot and fall off the stage! Oddly enough most people thought all of the trauma I endured was part of the show, but stranger than that, no one in the audience would accept Duckie as the new Queen of Trash. So, after all that, I kept my title, Duckie started coming on as an "Auntie Trash" character that was short lived.
Since then, I have had to fight strippers, and monsters, and bears (oh my!) I even got toQueen of Trash, Comic Art commandeer a gym for a night of regulation arm wrestling, and nude mud wrestling! I have been in a couple of low budget movies, in which I have done make up, special effects, and costume design, as well as acting. I am looking to do more films in the future. I have been on several episodes of Cinema Insomnia., as well as doing most all of the live events.
The comic originally was going to be a channel for my angst, and it was going to be very dark, very gruesome. Then someone showed me Sin City, and I figured it was already done, and done way better than I could have made it! When I thought all hope was lost for Queen in 2D, Mr. Lobo suggests that a comic based more on my actual really weird life may be more fun. Mr. Lobo took the brunt of writing the comic, and also did the finishes, Byron Brown did the art, in the beginning it felt as if I wasn’t really doing a hell of a lot for my own comic, but then I got to help do cover art, I got to help create and write the stories, and even help out with inking the finished project! I’ve also expanded to doing the digital coloring, and the web site. It’s been a lot of fun. I think the Queen needed to do something on a larger scale, and I have enjoyed doing something that encompassed my talent as a writer, an artist, a make up artist, a model and a performer.
