Ask Kelley

 
 
 

My name is Vanessa and last November my fiancé and I along with a few
friends took a trip to Portland for my birthday.  We live in Bend and had no
idea what we were going to do, but a lot of people we work with recommended
going to Darcelle's.  We went and we all had such an incredible time.  We
laughed, danced, sang, drank.....you name it and it happened.  And to this
day one of the things we talk most about when we think of this trip is the
performance at Darcelle's, and more specifically your rendition of Christina
Aguilera in the Lady Marmalade performance.  You were definitely one of the
highlights of the night.  We are planning a trip for my friend's birthday in
two weeks and we will definitely be going back to Darcelle's.  If I lived in
Portland I would be there at least once a week.
Anyway, the real reason I'm writing is to ask how I would go about getting
tickets for La Femme Magnifique International 2003.  I would be very
interested in attending.  Can you please tell me a little more about it and
where I might get a few tickets.  Thank you for your time and please keep
sharing your beauty and talent with us.

Sincerely,
Vanessa L. Woodall
 

Vanessa, Thanks for the great compliment , As for tickets, you can contact Penny
Michael's at Darcelles 503-222-5338. she will be more than Happy to hook you
up with as many as you need ...I hope you enjoy the show  this year...
Thanks, Kelley
 

Kelley, we came into see the show last weekend and have to say "you are the best
we have seen at Darcelles in years".  Just wondered how hard is it to do what
you make look effortless? where do you get your outfits?

Keep up the great work,

Justin

Justin, after 22 years of doing  female impersonation it looks easier than it
really is... It is 2 hours in front of the mirror doing make up and then with
foam rubber to create hips and 7 pair of hose to hold them in place, I feel like a 10 piece
Living room group at Ethan Allens...As far as My clothes I do Make 95% of them myself
as well as buy some and then when I want it Perfect I have Jeff from Sew What PDX
Help with some.
Hope that answers it for ya.
Thanks, Kelley
 

Kelly -
As I do every time you're in town, I loved your performance Sunday night at Destiny's.
You have such an amazing energy and personality that truly shines in all you do.
I was also very impressed with Monique Moore's performance and her beautiful gowns.
I heard that she has a web site where she sells them, and I was wondering if you had the link.
I'm hoping to see you perform again at Beau Brummell International in Portland
when Athena and I come down.
As always, warmest wishes and hugs,

Angella

Angella, I believe that her web site is www.mizzmoniquemoore.com
she also can be contacted at mizzmoore@yahoo.com
thanks for coming to see us at the Tacoma Beau Brummell contest
I am glad I have a few fans there. Am looking forward to seeing you again
here in Portland.....Thanks Kelley
 

Hi Kelley , I want to say you have done a great job this year
as LaFemme Magnifique International !  We could not ask for anyone
better this past year. My question for you is, What is the one piece of
advise you would give to the person you crown on Aug. 31,2003 ?
Thanks,
Jeremy
 

Jeremy, Wow great question ... Sorry I have not answered it right
away , But I had to think about it... The one thing I would tell them
Is that everything you do this year will be looked at by everyone and don't take
some of the comments you receive to heart... Because there are some people you
will never please no matter how well you represent this title. Just keep on track with
your goals and do the best you can do... Then you will have done your job...
They cant ask for more than that. Most importantly DON'T LET THEM
GET YOU DOWN. don't ever doubt yourself. take pride in the job you do..
Thanks Jeremy. Kelley Cheval

Alyce

Alyce, I am glad you had a great time at the contest this year.
Thanks for coming out to support us. I am also glad you like the
picture I still have writers cramp from signing them all by hand.
But i loved doing it for all of you.
Love,
Kelley Cheval

Kelley,
I wanted to write you, To tell you what an amazing job you
did at La Femme this year. I was blown away by your professionalism.
your wardrobe was great for the "Can't get a man with a gun" number you did
by Reba McEntire . I know you stated you make most of your own outfits,
Did you make that one as well?
Your fan, Brian

Brian, thanks for the compliments... Reba is one of my favorite people
to perform as... Yes, I did make the costume for that number. I originally
was not going to make it myself. But have Jeff at Sew what PDX make it instead.
But then decided to do it myself. I am glad I did... I love the outfit...
I am sure you will see the number again in the future...
Thanks again,
Kelley

Hi Kelley,
I have a question for you. I was wondering if you have
any plans on doing anything with the Rose Court? I for one think you would
make a great Empress!

Chris

Chris, there are no plans in the future as of yet...
But then again you never know what may happen down the
road... I think I will wait to see how everything with the court
works out, before I throw my hat into that ring...
Thanks,Kelley
 

Dear Kelley,
Came across your site and pics...always great to see another Reba
look-a-like.  Great Annie costume...did you make it????  I travela ton and
would love to make it up to Portland one day.  I lived and worked in
Vegas....Tasha Lee was Miss Vegas when i was working at LaCage.
Keep up the good work!
Forever
Alex

Alex,
thanks for the compliment... Yes, I made the costume myself ... I also did
some work at an evening at la cage in Toronto... but would you believe it
wasn't as Reba, it was as Ann Margret and Liza... that was a thousand years ago now...
Tasha is a former La Femme , I never got to meet her.. but, hear she is amazing...
Glad I am in such great company...
Thanks,
Kelley
