Goddess of Something, Always...

Lady Bunny's early publicity machine--well, we couldn't really call it a "machine", it had few working parts, but some cogs--turned out enough material to lay the groundwork for her elevation to Vestal Virgin.
Well, we can't really call it "Virgin", but goddess she would eventually be. Hard work combined with a dirty mouth allowed her to establish herself as The Queen Mum of the drag world. Little drag queens would be able to look up to Bunny and say, "I want to be like that.", although this sometimes led to being sent off to military school. Like the English Queen Mum, Bunny has lived to be 101 years old through a scientific mix of hair spray and gin, and--if we are lucky--will be around for another hundred years of adoration.
