Velvet Lenore hails from Fort Pierce, an award-winning female impersonator and drag queen who has been performing in South Florida for several decades. Earning an impressive amount of awards and titles including Classic Miss Fort Lauderdale in 2015 and Miss Palm Beach Pride in 2016, and now winner of the 2024 Your Choice Award by Out South Florida Newspaper & Magazine.
Married to her husband of 18 years, she has been THE Lady of Lips (now AquaPlex) for 17 years, hosting Wednesday Night Bitchy Bingo and a Dragalicious Brunch.
When asked what it meant to her to win the Your Choice Award contest, she beamed and said, "It's a blessing because I feel like people are seeing my hard work, my soul, and spirit that I put into it, always trying to make a difference in our community including charity work and also in myself."
She also says that she loves being a comedic person, using her artistry of drag to make people smile and be happier, even for just one hour.
"It makes me feel like I fulfill my purpose in life, thank you, readers."
