Well, it has officially been one month since I won Miss Gay Missouri America Femme and I am still riding on cloud nine through this journey. 1️⃣ 👑

Over the last month I have had the opportunity to travel to two different city preliminaries alongside Miss Gay Missouri America Penelope Booze. First I traveled to Kansas City Missouri for Miss Gay Kansas City America.

I want to thank the promoters Emilio and Thomas for being so welcoming to me as the new Missouri Femme as well as all the formers. I not only had the chance to entertain, I also got to watch a beautiful revue show featuring so many former Miss Gay Kansas City Americas. The sisterhood was truly alive and well in the building that night.

The following evening I watched an incredible pageant with three amazing contestants. Congratulations to the ladies who received their placements to go on to the state competition in March. Congratulations to Katy Wampus on placing first alternate and to Mahajany Demornay on your win that night. I look forward to seeing both of you compete at state.

Most recently I traveled to Springfield Missouri for the fiftieth anniversary of the Miss Gay Springfield America pageant. I was able to represent as Miss Gay Missouri America Femme both as an entertainer and as an emcee for the evening. The love and treatment I received was so heartwarming. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to be part of such a milestone celebration.

Congratulations to Maryann Bright on placing first alternate and to Chevelle Chardonnay on your win. I look forward to seeing both of you at the state pageant.

Another highlight of my first month as Miss Gay Missouri America Femme was getting to visit the Missouri History Museum for a night dedicated to pageant history. I learned so much about the state of Missouri and its long standing connection with drag pageantry. It was inspiring to see how deep our roots run and how our traditions continue to evolve and uplift our community.

Here are a few things coming up for Miss Gay Missouri America Femme

On Saturday November 22, I will be volunteering at the St Vincent de Paul food pantry to help feed those in need and those who may be less fortunate. I will also be riding in the Saint Louis Thanksgiving parade that same day.

On December 6th, I will be traveling to Columbia Missouri for the City of Columbia America pageant where Penelope will be relinquishing her city preliminary title. I am looking forward to another amazing night of pageantry and sisterhood.

You can also catch me every Friday night hosting my show at Bubby and Sissys at 9:30pm.

Be sure to keep up with me on Facebook or on the Miss Gay Missouri America Femme page so you can stay in the chat with what is new and what is coming up.

And as always remember:
THE FUTURE IS FEMME

With love,
Miss Gay Missouri America Femme

Welcome to the group chat!

Well everyone… we did it. I am so proud and honored to be stepping into history as the very first Miss Gay Missouri America FEMME. This is such a pivotal moment not only for me but for the entire state. For years I dreamed about becoming a part of this legacy. So many amazing entertainers across the state of Missouri have worn this crown. Some of whom I’ve admired, looked up to, and been inspired by for years. And now, I can finally say I am a part of that legacy and a proud member of the Missouri America sisterhood. Winning this pageant was truly a dream come true.

I want to send a big congratulations to Naomi St. James for not only running a phenomenal pageant but also being such an incredible national representative. She has been accessible and present for every contestant in the Femme division and has shown us all what true leadership and grace look like. Her example is one that inspires me as I begin this journey.

To the panel of judges, thank you for your service, your time, and your thoughtful feedback.

You had one of the toughest jobs of the night and handled it with grace, professionalism, and care. I appreciate each and every one of you.

To my new promoters Jade and Luis — thank you for believing in me. I’m looking forward to our journey together. I am ready to reign with intention, with visibility, and with purpose. I am also ready to represent Missouri on the national stage and give it everything I’ve got. This moment is more than a crown. It is a responsibility, and I am ready to rise to it.

To my first alternate Vivian Taylor — congratulations! You were absolutely stunning and delivered a beautiful performance. I am excited for what we will build together as Team Missouri. I look forward to growing a sisterhood rooted in love, respect, and support.

👑 My Mission as Miss Missouri

My reign is rooted in visibility, branding, and action. The state of Missouri is constantly under attack through harmful legislation targeting trans people, people of color, and the LGBTQ+ community at large. I plan to use this title to bridge gaps, inspire the next generation, and encourage people to not only find beauty in the art of pageantry but also the power in their voices. We must advocate not just for ourselves, but for our community and our collective future.

🎥 Coming Soon: Valentino Vision

I’m excited to announce that I’ll be partnering with Miss Gay Missouri America, Penelope Booze who just so happens to be my drag  daughter to launch a monthly vlog series called Valentino Vision. This will be a chance for us to connect with our community, uplift other artists, and share our reigns in a real, transparent, and inspiring way.
I’ll also be making appearances at all remaining city preliminaries for Miss Gay Missouri America. I want contestants to know that I am approachable, available, and here for them. I will continue to be the queen Missouri needs. From gown to groundwork, I am poised to lead and prepared to serve.

Until next month, stay bold, stay beautiful, and stay in the chat.
