ASIAC's "Fashion
Forward" fashion show features me as one of its
runway models.
Mr.
Allstates Midatlantic was held on July 31, 2004 at the William Way Community Center.
Proceeds benefitted ASIAC. Special entertainers include the best
in regional drag talent. Contestants compete for cash prizes,
trophies, and a chance to compete in the national pageant in
Richmond, Virginia. This is a male pageant akin to a GQ/runway-style
pageant and will be lots of fun to open minds.
The first episode of this
season's MTV "MADE" features my song, "Techno
World." My
Gorgeous
Girl music has now been heard in 11 countries outside
the USA.

The
ClubKid Page with Kalina Isato received a four out of five overall rating (and a five out of five for content) from The Web Magazine! Here's
the mini-review in the June 1997 issue with Steven Spielberg
on the cover: "Kalina, Philly's practitioner of Sexy Vampire
Drag, hosts this popular site dedicated to crossdressing and
club culture. The Ask Kalina column offers advice on anything
from applying false eyelashes to letting your girlfriend know
you felt deceived by her stuffed bra. Kalina also pens the delightfully
bitchy Club Culture Magazine, reviews pageants, and sells her
books, remix recordings, and drag duds (all on this site). How
does she find the time to go clubbing?" The Web Magazine
is published by IDG, the number-one publisher of computer magazines,
such as Computerworld, InfoWorld, Macworld, and Network World.
My life gets transformed as I get to work as a consultant for one of the most prestigious consulting firms in the world.
