ELL BUTTER MY BUTT AND CALL ME A BISCUIT! That’s how it all started nearly four years ago when I first graced the pages of The Rage Monthly. A lot has changed in
the O.C./L.A. area since then and I’ve been proud to be a part of such a vibrant and great community. Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end. The reign of Jizzona’s Adventure’s here in The Rage Monthly has run its course and it’s time for me to move on. I’ve been blessed to have met so many of you at different events out and about in the community and of course all of those from my home turf down in Huntington Beach. My life is anything but ordinary. My career in drag started just prior to my start at The
Rage Monthly and my very first appearance was at a little dive bar in Costa Mesa known as Durty Nelly’s. I performed in an amateur drag show organized by Lady VaJayJay benefiting the Courage Campaign and from there I was off and running. Developing a character people can relate to, is essential to becoming a successful drag personality and since I didn’t really have any true talent, I determined I needed a look. The big poof of a cloud of hair with pink highlights and all the vintage ‘60s and ‘70s apparel became all that is Jizzona Straynger. Entering the scene in O.C./L.A. was not an easy task; my background consisted of
a degree in Mortuary Science and my work as a Commercial Airline Pilot. Let me tell you, working in show business was an eye-opening experience—I’ve seen a lot of queens out there trying to be something they really aren’t. My advice to all you ladies and lady-boys; be yourselves and be the best at being you—individuality is key my friends. I believe my success as Jizzona Straynger was in part due to my ability to just be myself, regardless of what anyone else thinks I should be. Successful?! Why yes my loves, I’ve been given many wonderful opportunities that
some other queens would toss a 6” Minolo for. In addition to my Rage Monthly gig, I’ve hosted shows at many bars and traveled extensively for appearances, raising a ****- load of money for various LGBT charities. And let’s not forget my very own wine, Jizzy Juice (available online at
jizzona.com). I’ve truly been blessed as a drag performer, es- pecially when you consider the short amount of time I had to produce this character. So what’s next for Miss. Jizzona you might wonder? Currently, I’m back in my full-
ADVENTURES JIZZONA’S
time role as a Commercial Airline Pilot based in Houston, TX and building a great future with the love of my life, Eric Gage. I’m continuing the expansion of my skincare business with Beauty Society: Beauty on Loan from God, Enhanced by Beauty Society (also available at
jizzona.com). I’m most excited about my upcoming reality TV show featuring myself and a few of our other amazing Beauty Society Divas! We’re currently filming the first season here in Texas and will be heading to Huntington Beach to shoot a few episodes—stay tuned to my facebook page and website for appearances in California! Well my dear friends, the time has come to say adieu; I have truly been blessed to call
many of you friends. I have such fond memories of my time in California and will carry those with me for the rest of my life. To the boys at The Rage Monthly, Jay, Brad, Daisy and Joel, you’ve been amazing to work with over the last few years. Just remember, Jizzona isn’t going anywhere, just changing venues if you will!
Please look a b*tch up on facebook and stay in touch! With that my poodles, I give you all my love and best wishes! Thanks for the fun ride!
KISSES ON YOUR PINK PARTS! Love,
Jizzona Straynger
