Since I attended LSU with this phenomenal performer (and ran with a somewhat tangental circle of friends), I feel obligated to give her some love....

1. Is she the same Varla Jean Merman from Project: Runway 5?

Episode 6 of the fifth season was titled "Good Queen Fun." The Designers were tasked with creating an outfit for a drag queen that fit her persona. The winning designer was the only straight guy left on the show, and his design was for Varla Jean Merman.

Tim's Take, with pictures.

4. I first saw her skits on Logo

She's amazingly funny. Right now they are running "Drag History Month" series of bits with her and they're hysterical. You can watch them on the website.

7. I saw her in a stage production

of "Hush Up, Sweet Charlotte" in 2005. She was amazing and I haven't laughed so hard since.

8. TV shot of one of her Logo bits

"Before I entertain crowds atop a plywood-covered pool table..." ROFL!



Also DO NOT miss her in the uproarious "Girls Will Be Girls."
